UW-Green Bay offers new for-credit emergency management program

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is offering a new opportunity for leaders who prepare for and manage emergencies to sharpen their skills.

UW-Green Bay's new certificate program in emergency management, planning and administration will enable students to earn university undergraduate or graduate credit while establishing their credentials as emergency leaders.

Courses offered in the program, which starts in fall 2004, are designed for those already in the emergency management profession as well as for those interested in entering the field. The program is open to:

• public safety personnel (emergency management, airport personnel, fire and police)
• general public sector managers responsible for emergency management
• industrial emergency responders (fire and hazardous materials)
• institutional emergency planners (schools, hospitals and prisons)
• business continuity planners (banking, manufacturing, insurance and corporations).

The UW-Green Bay program was developed in response to the growing risk of hazardous events. Experts predict more frequent occurrences of emergencies causing catastrophic loss of life, property and resources.

Devastation and losses from a disaster can be lessened when businesses, emergency personnel and governments have organized, developed plans in place. Planning for such emergencies requires skills in budgeting, administration, management and emergency operations procedures.

The UW-Green Bay program is made up of five three-credit courses taught by experienced faculty and experts in the field. Students and instructors will meet face-to-face three weekends in a semester (Friday evening and all day Saturday). The format gives students the opportunity to interact with other professionals with diverse work experiences.

The program is sponsored by UW-Green Bay Outreach and Extension along with the Public and Environmental Affairs academic unit and Environmental Science and Policy graduate program.

The first course, Principles and Practices of Emergency Management, will begin this fall. Dates of the course are Aug. 27-28, Oct. 15-16 and Dec. 3-4. The course will be held at the new UW-Green Bay Downtown Learning Center at Washington Commons.

For more information about the emergency management program, contact Kassie Van Remortel, UW-Green Bay Outreach and Extension, by phone at (800) 892-2118 or by e-mail at vanremok@uwgb.edu or check out the World Wide Web at www.uwgb.edu/em.

Washington Commons to be site of UW-Green Bay Downtown Learning Center

GREEN BAY - As part of an ongoing effort to strengthen connections between campus and community, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will open its Downtown Learning Center at Washington Commons.

UW-Green Bay, the state Department of Administration and Development Associates, the owner of Washington Commons, have finalized a five-year agreement to lease space for the learning center on the first floor of the downtown mall. The center will be near the Washington Street entrance to Washington Commons.

The University will begin offering programs and courses at the Washington Commons site later this summer.

The 2,600-square-foot Downtown Learning Center will include a classroom, conference room, office, reception area, and storage space. The classroom could hold up to 50 people.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard said the Downtown Learning Center is a good fit for a university with a priority of connecting to the community. He said the center emphasizes the University's commitment to "Connecting learning to life."

"We want to be Green Bay's University of Wisconsin," Shepard said. "A presence downtown will give the community even a greater sense of ownership of its university."

The Chancellor also said the center is an example of UW-Green Bay's commitment to helping Green Bay maintain a vibrant downtown.

The Downtown Learning Center will offer a wide range of programming designed for community audiences. About 400 hours of programs already have been scheduled for the center, and many more hours are expected to be scheduled.

Jan Thornton, UW-Green Bay director of Outreach and Extension, said the Downtown Learning Center will make University programs more accessible to the community members the programs are intended to serve.

"This is part of our effort to connect to the community and serve people closer to where they live and work," Thornton said.

Among the initial programs to be held at the center are Outreach and Extension management and leadership development programs and other workshops and seminars. Programming based at the center will begin in mid-August.

One of the first programs to be offered at the Downtown Learning Center will be UW-Green Bay's new Leadership Development Institute, an intensive program to develop and nurture effective leaders for businesses and other organizations. A new certificate program in emergency management, planning and administration also will be offered at the Washington Commons center.

Thornton said the center will be available for student and faculty meetings and events, the Learning in Retirement program and other community-oriented programs.

"Just about anything is possible at this point," she said. "We want the center to be a place where the campus and community come together for a wide variety of activities."

Robert Skorczewski of UW-Green Bay Outreach and Extension will direct the operation of the Downtown Learning Center.

UW-Green Bay researcher will look at environmental education in schools

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay faculty member Scott Ashmann has received a $5,000 grant from the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board for a study evaluating the use of Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards for Environmental Education in rural secondary schools in northeastern Wisconsin.

The study, which will begin on July l and conclude Dec. 31, 2005, will look at the extent to which the state's model environmental education standards are being implemented in rural schools, and how that implementation may be taking place. Twenty-five randomly selected secondary science teachers in CESA districts 7 and 8 will be interviewed.

Ashmann says the study focuses on rural schools because little is documented in the professional literature about science teaching practices in rural schools, yet rural schools are close to valuable resources- forests, streams and farmland-for studying the environment.

According to Ashmann, the results will provide baseline information about how environmental education efforts are enhancing the awareness, knowledge, attitudes and environmental ethic of secondary students in northeastern Wisconsin, and reveal needs for future professional development efforts to help secondary teachers improve teaching and learning of environmental education issues and problems.

An assistant professor of education, Ashmann joined the UW-Green Bay faculty in fall 2003. He earned a Ph.D. at Michigan State University in curriculum, teaching and educational policy with an emphasis in science education. Ashmann's bachelor's degree is from UW-Green Bay with majors in chemistry and education and a minor in Science and Environmental Change. In the mid- to late 1990s, Ashmann directed the Educational Support Services tutoring lab and the Regional Center for Math and Science at UW-Green Bay.

"Brown County Diversity Circles" project awarded $10,000 grant

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Extension has awarded a $10,000 grant to a project aimed at improving relations among diverse populations in Brown County.

The project, "Brown County Diversity Circles: Transforming Our Community Through Public Dialogue," involves more than 20 community groups, including University of Wisconsin-Green Bay faculty, staff and students.

Diversity Circles nationwide bring together people from different backgrounds and viewpoints to discuss issues of importance to communities. A strength of the process is that it provides concerned citizens an opportunity to move from dialogue to action.

In communities across the country, experiences of Diversity Circles participants have gone beyond talk. Participants have formed networks to work together and then take action for change.

The Brown County project will include:

• a communitywide kickoff Monday, Oct. 18 at the YWCA, which will feature community leaders and a nationally known leader of the Diversity Circles movement.

• a trilingual billboard in a central community location.

• translation of printed materials into Hmong and Spanish.

Anticipated outcomes in the community and on the UW-Green Bay campus include reduced racial and ethnic tensions, increased opportunities for dialogue rather than debate on difficult issues, and an increased level of civic engagement resulting in improved racial and ethnic harmony.

The "Brown County Diversity Circles" project was developed by a volunteer coalition that reflects the community's distinctive personality. Project sponsorship includes the three higher education institutions in Northeastern Wisconsin (UW-Green Bay, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and St. Norbert College), leaders from Hmong, Hispanic, American Indian and African American populations, and a variety of civic organizations that endorse the project's goals.

The coalition has been developed under the leadership of UW-Green Bay Outreach and Extension, Brown County UW-Extension and the UW-Green Bay Institute for Learning Partnership.

For more information about "Brown County Diversity Circles," contact Barbara Mc Clure-Lukens, UW-Green Bay Outreach and Extension, by phone at (920) 465-2222 or by e-mail at mcclureb@uwgb.edu.

New book says citizens in democracy must press government on wars

GREEN BAY - "Practical Pacifism," a new book by University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Prof. Andrew Fiala, argues that while war might sometimes be justified, citizens should be uneasy about the justification for it. The book has just been published by Algora Publishing.

"Most of us do not know whether the wars that are fought in our names are justifiable," says Fiala, "Most of us do not have access to intelligence information and classified documents that might help us understand the wars we fight."

Fiala explains that he came to this position as he reflected on the attacks of September 11, the U.S. declaration of war on terrorism, and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. "The more I thought about these events, the more I realized that I lacked the sorts of information I would need to make good judgments about them," he adds.

Fiala urges people to be honest about the ignorance that prevents them from saying with certainty that a war is just or unjust. "The acknowledgement of ignorance should be to make us more careful in our judgments about war," he says.

Practical pacifism doesn't reject violence in all cases, but rather it urges citizens of a democracy to take responsibility for questioning whether the suffering and sacrifices of a given war are justified, Fiala explains.

Fiala joined the UW-Green Bay faculty in 1999. A philosopher, he is an associate professor of Humanistic Studies. Fiala organized a series of three public discussions, "Ethics and the War on Terrorism," in fall 2002 to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the attacks of September 11 on the United States. He has spoken about war and peace at numerous public events and on Wisconsin Public Radio. Fiala's previous publications include a book, "The Philosopher's Voice," and articles on the history of philosophy, just war theory, toleration, pacifism, and other topics.

Dragonfly workshop set at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY - Registration is open now for Wisconsin Dragonflies, a workshop scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 24 at the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity in Mary Ann Cofrin Hall Suite 212 at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Dr.

The workshop is free, but pre-registration is required due to space limitations. The number to register is (920) 465-5032. Information is available by e-mail to wolfa@uwgb.edu.

The first part of the program will provide information about the biology, ecology and identification of dragonflies. Then participants will go into the Cofrin Arboretum on the campus to seek and identify dragonflies. Attendees should dress appropriately for outdoor activity.

Workshop leaders are Amy Wolf, Joan Berkopec and Ron Eichhorn.

Wolf is an adjunct assistant professor in the UW-Green Bay Environmental Science and Policy Graduate Program and serves as research and outreach coordinator for the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity. She has conducted research on rare plants, butterflies and birds. Her Ph.D. work at the University of California, Davis, involved the interactions between native bees and a rare plant of serpentine meadows.

Berkopec and Eichhorn are area naturalists who have become leading experts in Wisconsin dragonflies. The two are accomplished birders, lepidopterists and nature photographers. Both formerly attended UW-Green Bay.

The workshop is the last in the 2003-2004 series of natural history workshops sponsored by the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity with the goal of promoting biodiversity protection through education and scientific research. The workshops are aimed toward educators, students and others with a keen interest in nature.

Two at UW-Green Bay win UW System research grants

GREEN BAY - Two faculty members at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay have won 2004-2005 University of Wisconsin System Applied Research Grants for projects that could result in environmental and economic benefits.

The grants have been awarded to Professors Michael Zorn and Franklin M. Chen, who both teach in the Natural and Applied Sciences academic unit.

Zorn received $44,796 for a project that will seek more efficient ways to break down organic wastes from dairy farms into methane that then can be used to generate energy including heat and electricity. In addition to energy production, the methane-to-energy process would reduce Wisconsin's manure disposal problems. Zorn's co-investigator on the project is Prof. John Katers, who has been working for several years on a manure-to-electricity project at Tinedale Farms in Wrightstown.

Zorn's project will evaluate an alternative technology-gas-phased anaerobic photocatalysis- to convert the waste into methane gas. The goal is to improve the efficiency of the process and make it more economically viable for dairy farms and other businesses that generate wastewater with high organic content. The project is a continuation of research begun in 2003-2004 through the Wisconsin Focus on Energy Renewable Energy Program.

Chen won $20,642 to investigate the feasibility and energy efficiency of using microwave energy to de-vulcanize used tires and regenerate potentially useful carbon black from them. Waste tires provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes that can spread diseases such as West Nile virus. Waste tire storage areas also are vulnerable to long-smoldering fires that generate pollution. The Department of Natural Resources estimates that about 5 million used tires-50,000 tons-are generated each year in Wisconsin.

Carbon black is useful in various applications such as filtration devices to improve drinking water quality, removing bad odors and vapors from air and other uses.

The two UW-Green Bay research proposals were chosen for funding among stiff competition for the grant monies from proposals from other UW campuses, including the doctoral campuses at Madison and Milwaukee, according to Lidia Nonn, director of the UW-Green Bay Institute for Research.

Slovakia is the topic of June 17 'UWGB Downtown' luncheon

GREEN BAY - The culture and business climate of Slovakia, one of the newest members of the European Union, will be the topic of the second in a series, "UWGB Downtown: Connecting for Lunch," on Thursday, June 17 at the Regency Suites and KI Convention Center in Green Bay.

UW-Green Bay faculty member Sarah Meredith, who has had extensive experience in Slovakia in recent years, will be the speaker.

A buffet lunch will be served between 11:45 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. with the program beginning immediately after lunch. Registration in advance is required. The $15 registration cost covers the luncheon, presentation and materials. To register or for more information, the number is (920) 465-2642 or go online at www.uwgb.edu/outreach/events/downtownlunch.htm.

An associate professor of Communication and the Arts and a member of the music faculty at UW-Green Bay, Meredith taught at the Academy of Music and Drama in Bratislava, Slovakia during the 2001-2002 academic year. She has since returned to Slovakia half a dozen times to perform, judge vocal competitions, and teach master classes. Many of her activities have served as outreach for the American Embassy in Slovakia.

Meredith's connections in Slovakia have led to visits to Green Bay by performers, scholars and activists from Slovakia. Prof. Egon Krak, vice dean of the Advanced School of Music and Performing Arts in Bratislava was the first to be sponsored by the new joint St. Norbert College-UW-Green Bay International Visiting Scholars in November 2003. His visit coincided with a series of Slovakian and Czech cultural and informational events at UW-Green Bay and in the community.

Meredith says political independence and becoming a member of the European Union makes Slovakia a country in transition. "It's an exciting place for people to do business," she notes.

Slovakia has been an independent country for just nine years. The Slovaks and the Czechs had joined to form Czechoslovakia in 1918. After World War II the country became part of the Soviet bloc. When the Soviet influence collapsed in 1989, the transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy began. The Slovaks and the Czechs separated by agreement to become two countries — Slovakia and the Czech Republic — in 1993.

"UWGB Downtown: Connecting for Lunch" showcases UW-Green Bay and its faculty. The series is sponsored by the Office of the Chancellor at UW-Green Bay, the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association and Downtown Green Bay Inc. in collaboration with UW-Green Bay Outreach and Extension. It will continue in September with a presentation on the topic of her new book, "The Radical Lives of Helen Keller," by Prof. Kim Nielsen.
