Two named 'Featured Faculty'
at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY-Two faculty members at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay have won Featured Faculty Awards for the 2005-2006 academic year.

Don McCartney, a senior lecturer in Business Administration, and Kristin Vespia, an assistant professor of Human Development, were selected for the awards given by the Faculty Development Council. The awards recognize consistent records of exemplary teaching and serve to showcase that teaching. The recipients will make presentations on their teaching philosophies at a faculty teaching conference in January 2007.

One award recipient was selected from among faculty members with fewer than five years service at the University and one from those who have been on the faculty for six or more years.

Vespia, who teaches in the Human Development and Psychology academic units, joined UW-Green Bay in 2002. She previously was a visiting faculty member at Cornell College and a staff counselor at the University Counseling Service at the University of Iowa. Vespia earned a Ph.D. in counseling psychology at the University of Iowa.

McCartney has taught in Business Administration at UW-Green Bay since 1983. He has conducted studies, developed training materials and carried out numerous other projects in the community, many of which have served to provide practical experience opportunities for students. In 2002, McCartney won the UW-Green Bay Founders Association Award for Excellence in Community Outreach.

Adult Degree Programs add emphasis
in Organizational Communication

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Office of Adult Degree Programs is launching a new emphasis that will benefit students and local employers.

The emphasis in Organizational Communication will focus on effective communication with co-workers, customers, clients and other groups and individuals with whom employers and employees interact on a daily basis.

Phil Clampitt, Hendrickson Professor of Business and Professor of Information and Computing Science at UW-Green Bay, said the Organizational Communication emphasis will teach students how to integrate cutting-edge communication practices into their professional lives and organizations.

"Consequently, they will become more successful in their professions and build economic value for their employers," said Clampitt, author of Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness. "Every business should jump at a chance to grow market premium with this kind of investment."

At UW-Green Bay, students can specialize in a specific area by choosing an emphasis within a major or minor. The Organizational Communication emphasis will be in the Interdisciplinary Studies major.

Jan Thornton, UW-Green Bay associate provost for Outreach and Adult Access, said the new emphasis will make graduates more competitive in the job market and put them in line for promotions in their current businesses.

"The ability to communicate professionally is always at the top of the list of abilities employers consider most important for their employees," Thornton said.

Dissatisfaction with organizational communication is cited frequently in employee climate surveys. But on the positive side, effective communication is a leading indicator of financial success.

The Organizational Communication emphasis is made possible by the support of Philip and Betsy Hendrickson and Dorothy Blair and the Blair Foundation. Their generous gifts to UW-Green Bay enabled the University to establish the Hendrickson Professorship for Business and the John P. Blair Endowed Chair in Communication. These gifts provided the seed money for UW-Green Bay faculty — Clampitt and Prof. Tim Meyer, Blair Endowed Chair in Communication — to find a creative way to further contribute to the region's economic development.

UW-Green Bay's Adult Degree Programs offer a bachelor of arts degree at times and in a format that are accessible to working professional adults.

For more information on the Adult Degree Programs and the new Organizational Communication emphasis, contact the Office of Adult Degree Programs by phone at (800) 621-2313 or by e-mail at adultdegrees@uwgb.edu. Information also is available online at www.uwgb.edu/adultdegrees.

Heirloom tomato, pepper sale is Saturday at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY-Plants of heirloom tomatoes and peppers as well as tomatillos and two varieties of hybrid tomatoes go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday (May 20) at the Laboratory Sciences Greenhouse at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Dr.

Tickets for greenhouse admission will be given out beginning at 8 a.m.

Sale coordinator Vicki Medland says 46 different varieties of heirloom tomatoes — 4,500 plants in all — are ready for the sale.

Fewer pepper plants are available due to poor germination and a greenhouse invasion by a mouse with an appetite for pepper seedlings, but 34 varieties will be represented. In good supply are King of the North and Baby Belle bell peppers and some of the medium hot peppers. Medland says there's also an abundant supply of habaneros, which were untouched by mice.

Two hybrid tomatoes favored by many master gardeners — Fourth of July and Sugary, a cherry tomato — will be available.

Tomatillos, offered by popular demand, also will be for sale, according to Medland.

Heirloom tomato, pepper and tomatillo plants will be $1.25 each. The two hybrid tomato varieties will sell for $1.50 each. Medland explains that the hybrid seeds are patented and therefore are more expensive.

The complete list of varieties available is listed online at www.uwgb.edu/biodiversity/plantsale.

The sale at UW-Green Bay began in 1996. Funds raised support visits by scientists and researchers to speak to students at UW-Green By and help fund student attendance at scientific meetings and conferences.

UW-Green Bay commencement speaker
to grads: 'Create the future'

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduates were told Saturday (May 13) that the best way to predict the future is by creating it themselves.

"So my charge to you, graduates of the class of 2006, is to go out and create the future," said Martin H. Greenberg, the speaker at UW-Green Bay commencement ceremonies. "And make it a good one."

Greenberg, UW-Green Bay professor emeritus of Urban and Regional Studies, spoke to graduates and their guests in two ceremonies at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.

Because of chilly temperatures, damp grounds and the threat of wet weather, commencement ceremonies were held indoors at the Weidner Center. Instead of one traditional outdoor event, two ceremonies were held because of the size of the graduating class and the limited seating capacity of the theater.

Chancellor Bruce Shepard presided over UW-Green Bay's 37th spring commencement. With the addition of 690 graduates Saturday, the University has conferred about 23,500 diplomas in its history.

Greenberg, a political scientist with expertise in terrorism and the Middle East, also has had a non-academic career as an editor of literary anthologies, including works of science fiction and mystery.

Opening his commencement address by saying, "Let me tell you how the future was, how the future used to be," Greenberg said predictors of the future — whether they be futurists, academics, the intelligence community or science fiction writers — rarely get it right. They failed to predict the collapse of the Soviet Union, the rise of fundamentalist religious movements and other major trends and developments, he said.

Despite this poor track record, Greenberg offered his own predictions of what's ahead for today's graduates. He said that by the time the graduates are his age, one-third of Americans will be what is called "the dependent elderly."

"So make sure your children make a good living — you are going to need it," he said.

He also predicted the world will become more intensely religious than it is now, the number of prominent political parties in the United States will grow, and people will be able to earn a living, get an education and even go on vacations without leaving their living rooms.

He offered one final prediction: "Write this down. The score of Super Bowl 100 in 2066: The Green Bay Packers of the North American Division 24, the Shanghai Panthers of the Eastern Division 7. And you thought the Panthers would still be in North Carolina."

Graduates also heard from student commencement speaker Kathy Ann Mlaker of Eagle River, who said they learned not only through classroom experiences, but through internships and involvement in campus activities. Most of all, graduates benefited from interaction with people from all walks of life, she said.

"Remember the experiences and great times you had as students, and be grateful for them," Mlaker said.

Judy Crain of Green Bay, a member of the UW System Board of Regents, congratulated the graduates on behalf of the Regents. Prof. Sally Dresdow, chair of the UW-Green Bay University Committee, also spoke.

In other commencement highlights:

• UW-Green Bay Alumni Association President Andy Bottoni presented the Outstanding Student Award to Michelle Missall of Suring. Missall graduated with a major in communication processes with emphases in organizational communication and public relations. She had a minor in communication and the arts with an emphasis in arts management.

• Chancellor Shepard presented Chancellor's Awards to Mike and Kate Meeuwsen, New Franken; Craig Mueller, San Diego, Calif.; and Dr. Herbert Sandmire and Crystal Sandmire, Green Bay. The award recognizes distinguished service to UW-Green Bay by individuals in the community and beyond.

• Retiring professor Kenneth Fleurant was named to emeritus, or honorary, status. A member of the UW-Green Bay faculty since 1970, Fleurant taught in the French and humanistic studies academic units.

UW-Green Bay commencement ceremonies Saturday move indoors

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay commencement ceremonies Saturday (May 13) will be held inside the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Drive.

Instead of the traditional outdoor event, two ceremonies will be held - one at 11:30 a.m. and one at 3 p.m. Half of the students will graduate at each ceremony.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard made the decision to move ceremonies indoors based on concerns about the comfort of graduates and their guests. The promise of chilly, wet weather during the next few days and wet grounds prompted the chancellor to make the decision today.

Tickets are required for admission to commencement ceremonies in the Weidner Center because of the number of students graduating and the seating capacity of the theater. Each graduate is guaranteed four tickets to distribute to family and friends.

Remote video viewing sites will be set up in the Weidner Center lobby to enable additional guests to see the ceremonies.

The two ceremonies Saturday will be nearly identical, with the same speakers and music. Martin Greenberg, UW-Green Bay professor emeritus of Urban and Regional Studies, will be the commencement speaker. Chancellor's Awards, which recognize distinguished service to the University by individuals in the community and beyond, will be presented to Mike and Kate Meeuwsen, New Franken; Craig Mueller, San Diego, Calif.; and Dr. Herbert Sandmire and Crystal Sandmire, Green Bay.

More details about commencement are available online at www.uwgb.edu/commencement.

The following are the lists of degrees that will be awarded in each of the two ceremonies.

11:30 a.m. ceremony:

• Associate of Arts degrees • Art • Communication • Communication and the Arts • Communication Processes • Computer Science • Economics • English • Environmental Policy and Planning • French • German • History • Human Development • Humanistic Studies • Individual Major • Information Science • Interdisciplinary Studies • Music • Philosophy • Political Science • Psychology • Public Administration • Social Change and Development • Spanish • Theater • Urban and Regional Studies

UW-Green Bay awarded State Department grant for 'Journey to Jordan'

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has received a $150,000 grant from the U.S. Department of State to fund an Arabic Language Institute this summer.

The "Journey to Jordan" Institute will send 14 high school students from across the United States to the University of Jordan in Amman for intensive Arabic language study and cultural activities. The Institute begins June 20 and concludes August 10.

A diverse group of participants will be selected through a competitive process. Applications are due by May 15.

Jay Harris, UW-Green Bay international projects coordinator, said "Journey to Jordan" is a unique cultural opportunity for high school students.

"We plan to select a group of high-caliber students and spark in them a love of Arabic language and other cultures," Harris said. "It's all about cross-cultural awareness and developing academic and career prospects."

He said programs such as "Journey to Jordan" have great value at a time when understanding of the Middle East is becoming increasingly important. Surveys show that young Americans have little knowledge of that part of the world, he noted.

In addition to Arabic language study, the Institute includes service learning projects and a four-week home stay with a host Jordanian family. The service-learning opportunities will include meetings with representatives of U.S. government agencies like the Peace Corps and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

While in Jordan, students also will visit Petra, the famed "Lost City of Stone," museums, government offices, multinational organizations and other places of interest.

Upon their return home, students will have additional learning opportunities through podcasts and online exercises led by Arabic instructors. Students also will have ongoing contact with their new American and Jordanian friends.

"Journey to Jordan" will build on existing connections between UW-Green Bay and Jordan. For example, Institute participants will hear presentations by Prof. Ibtesam al-Atiyat, a Visiting Fulbright Scholar at UW-Green Bay during the 2005-06 academic year. She will join the faculty at the University of Jordan in the fall.

In addition, UW-Green Bay alumnus Daoud Abboud, now a corporate executive in Amman, helped arrange home stays for participants and will greet the group. Prof. Anne Kok, chair of UW-Green Bay's Social Work academic unit, will spend nearly three weeks with the students providing guidance for the program's service-learning components.

Harris said he expects the Institute to lead to additional opportunities for UW-Green Bay students and faculty.

"We hope that the program will lead to a growing relationship with the University of Jordan," he said.

For more information about "Journey to Jordan," contact Harris by phone at (920) 465-5145 or by e-mail at harrisja@uwgb.edu.

Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, tomatillos
go on sale at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY-Heirloom tomato, pepper and tomatillo plants go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 20 at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's annual heirloom vegetable plant sale in the Laboratory Sciences Building greenhouse on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr. Two hybrid varieties of tomatoes favored by many master gardeners-Fourth of July-and Sugary, a cherry tomato-also will be for sale.

Tickets for greenhouse admission will be given out beginning at 8 a.m.

Sale coordinator Vicki Medland says 4,500 tomato plants representing 46 different varieties are ready for sale.

Thirty-four varieties of peppers are available, but fewer than 1,500 plants. Medland encourages gardeners seeking peppers to get to the sale early. Peppers are in limited supply for two reasons: "poor germination and mice that ate many of the seedlings," she explains. Although pepper seeds were replanted, some varieties were lost.

For the first time since the UW-Green Bay sale began in 1996, plant prices have increased. Heirloom peppers and tomatoes and tomatillos will be $1.25 each, and the hybrid tomatoes will be $1.50. Medland says costs have gone up during the sale's 11-year history. Hybrids are more expensive because the seeds are patented and command premium prices. In addition, hybrids can't be saved because they don't reproduce true, and seeds have to be purchased each year.

Funds raised from the sale support visits by scientists and researchers to speak to students at UW-Green Bay and help fund student attendance at scientific meetings and conferences.

The array of tomatoes available promises fruits in sizes ranging from the tip of a finger to well over a pound, in colors of red, green, yellow, orange, pink, black and even white, and in every shape associated with tomatoes.

"We have a great selection of cherry tomatoes including a unique green cherry called Green Grapes," says Medland. The eight cherry tomato varieties include several different reds, and a nearly white tomato called Blondkopfchen. Medland says there's a good supply of paste tomatoes including classic prolific reds including Proto Plum, Principe Borghese and Polish Linguisa, as well as colored plum tomatoes such as red and yellow striped Speckled Roman, yellow Banana Legs and orange Persimmon.

Also this year, the sale offers yellow and red "Peach" tomatoes, described as small, fuzzy and "almost as sweet as real peaches."

"We have two popular colored tomatoes in abundance," says Medland of the novelty varieties. Green Zebra is green and yellow striped, and Black Krim, an early maturing Eastern European variety, is deep red with heavy green shoulders. There also is a good selection of orange, yellow and other colors of tomatoes.

Medland says favorite big red slicers-Mortgage Lifter, Boxcar Willie and Brandywine-are available, but also a number of "old country" tomatoes including yellow Giant Belgium, Siberian, a variety called Old German from a Mennonite community, and a Polish tomato, Soldacki. Early producers include Manitoba and Subarctic Plenty.

Popular demand by gardeners anxious to make green salsa led to the addition of tomatillos to the sale.

Although the number of pepper plants isn't large, plants are available in bell, sweet, medium hot and hot varieties.

Medland says there's a good supply King of the North bell peppers and of Baby Belle, a variety with fruits that are only two and a half inches in diameter, mature early and are resistant to virus.

The most abundant supply of hot peppers is of a variety that's one of the hottest. "I'm not sure why, but the mice left the habaneros alone so we have over 150 plants for sale for those who love these hot peppers," says Medland.

The complete list of tomato and pepper varieties is available online at www.uwgb.edu/biodiversity/plantsale. Further information about the sale is available from Medland at (920) 465-2342.

Paper Technology Transfer Center awarded recycling research grant

GREEN BAY - The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Paper Technology Transfer Center has been awarded a grant to study the impact of single-stream recycling on the quality of fiber materials going to paper mills.

The UW System Solid Waste Research Council awarded the center a grant of $29,188 to support the research project. It was one of four projects statewide approved for funding by the council.

The grant, the maximum amount available from the council this year, will provide funding for a graduate student researcher, materials, supplies and other program assistance.

The UW-Green Bay Paper Technology Transfer Center, located in downtown Green Bay, encourages collaborative innovation within the paper industry and related industries. It works to benefit the state and regional economy by helping keep Wisconsin on the cutting edge of paper technology.

The grant from the Solid Waste Research Council will fund research in an area that is crucial to the paper industry at a time when single-stream recycling collection programs are becoming increasingly popular across the country and fiber demand is increasing in the global marketplace.

"This grant will allow the Paper Technology Transfer Center to demonstrate real value to the Wisconsin paper industry," said David Hollenberg, director of the center.

Many communities have converted from recycling collection programs in which residents sort recyclable materials to single-stream recycling programs that allow residents to put all recyclables into one pick-up container. However, the paper industry has expressed concern about the potential impact of single-stream collection on fiber quality.

Before a paper mill can reuse the fiber, some separation process must be performed to remove the metal, plastic, glass and other contaminants that would be mixed in with the fiber in single-stream collection systems. The effectiveness of the separation process will have a significant impact on the amount and quality of the fiber and, ultimately, the efficiency of the papermaking operation.

Grants from the UW System Solid Waste Research Council support research into alternative methods of solid waste disposal, including the reduction of the amount of solid waste generated and the reuse and recycling of materials. Research results will be provided to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, UW-Extension and others.

Gov. Doyle: UW-Green Bay's Phuture Phoenix a model for Wisconsin Covenant

GREEN BAY - Gov. Jim Doyle today cited the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Phuture Phoenix program as a model for the Wisconsin Covenant, a plan to increase access to a UW education.

Speaking to the UW System Board of Regents in Madison, the governor said his Wisconsin Covenant proposal will build on programs such as Phuture Phoenix, a program at UW-Green Bay that encourages disadvantaged youngsters to pursue a college education.

Doyle said UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard and his wife, Cyndie, director of the Phuture Phoenix program, have been leaders in efforts to raise the educational aspirations of young people.

"Much of what we're doing here (with the Wisconsin Covenant) is modeled after what has been done in Green Bay," Doyle said.

Chancellor Shepard thanked the governor for his comments and said many community partners deserve recognition for the success of Phuture Phoenix.

"This is an outstanding partnership involving the University, community volunteers and local schools," Shepard said. "It shows what we can accomplish as we work together in pursuit of brighter futures for our young people."

The governor unveiled the Wisconsin Covenant in his State of the State address Jan. 17. The goal, the governor said, is to begin working with students starting in eighth grade to make a college education attainable.

Under the Covenant, eighth-graders would sign a pledge promising they would take college-preparatory courses, maintain at least a B average in high school and be good citizens. In return, the state would guarantee adequate financial assistance for the students to attend a UW System school.

Wisconsin's First Lady, Jessica Doyle, recently met with Cyndie Shepard to discuss Phuture Phoenix, the Wisconsin Covenant and other ideas for serving students. Jessica Doyle has a background as a middle school educator.

Phuture Phoenix, which began at UW-Green Bay in 2003, has received numerous statewide accolades.

In 2004, Phuture Phoenix was awarded the state's first Ann Lydecker Award for Education, which recognizes innovative practices to promote diversity. The program also received a $10,000 grant from the Wisconsin Campus Compact to develop "Phuture Phoenix Clubs" in area middle schools.

Student broadcasters receive state awards

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student broadcasters received awards for excellence in statewide competition sponsored by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.

The students were recognized for their work on productions broadcast on Phlash TV, a cable television channel available to nearly 2,000 students living in UW-Green Bay residence halls. The campus channel is operated by the Office of Residence Life.

UW-Green Bay was among 12 universities and broadcasting schools participating in the 2006 Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Student Awards for Excellence.

Winners from UW-Green Bay were:

• "Phoenix Connexion" program promotion, second place, TV Promotional/Public Service Announcements. The promotion was concepted by Elisha Mertens, produced by Levi LaCrosse, and edited by Jenny Onarheim and Levi LaCrosse. "Phoenix Connexion" features campus news, events promotion and sports and movie talk shows.

• "Cold Stone with Johnny on the Spot," third place, TV Long Form Program. The program was produced and filmed by Michelle Bestul, edited by Jenny Onarheim and hosted by John Egan. "Cold Stone with Johnny on the Spot" was an episode of "Jaded Nights," a late-night style variety and talk show.

• "On the Reel," third place, TV Talk Show/Series/Documentary. "On the Reel" was produced, directed, written and edited by Mike Menzel and hosted by Dan Whelan and Tony Delaski. It is a movie talk show segment of "Phoenix Connexion."

Phlash TV provides student interns with opportunities to put classroom learning into real-world practice. Most of the interns are students in UW-Green Bay's Communications program.

In its second year at UW-Green Bay, Phlash TV helps build a campus community through informative, educational and entertainment programming. It is working to expand from broadcasting in the residence halls to future broadcasting in the University Union, Student Services Building and Kress Events Center.

Five will be honored with
Chancellors Awards at commencement

GREEN BAY-University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard will acknowledge five individuals with three Chancellors Awards during commencement ceremonies beginning at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 13 on the University campus.

Chancellors Awards recognize distinguished service to UW-Green Bay by individuals in the community and beyond.

Recipients of the awards are Mike and Kate Meeuwsen, New Franken; Craig Mueller, San Diego, Calif.; and Dr. Herbert Sandmire and Crystal Sandmire, Green Bay. Mueller's award will be presented to him in San Diego.

Mike Meeuwsen was the lead community volunteer from 2004-2006 for UW-Green Bay's successful capital campaign for the Kress Events Center. Kate Meeuwsen is a member of the Chancellor's Council of Trustees and also serves on the UW-Green Bay capital campaign advisory committee.

In the past, Mike Meeuwsen served on the UW-Green Bay Commission on Athletics and as chairperson of the Phoenix Fund, and Kate Meeuwsen was a member of the Founders Association board of directors. The couple has a nearly 20-year record of supporting various University fund drives, boards and scholarship programs.

Mike Meeuwsen is retired as president and CEO of First Northern Savings Bank (now Bank Mutual), and Kate Meeuwsen is retired from teaching in Green Bay area parochial schools. She graduated from UW-Green Bay with a degree in communication and the arts and music in 1976.

Mueller was a member of the University's second-year graduating class in 1971, earning a degree in creative communication. He moved to California where he pursued his passions for flying and sailing, becoming a commercial pilot and eventually crewing on contenders for the America's Cup. More recently, he reconnected with the University and now includes the University along with Packers games as reasons to visit Green Bay.

Mueller, who had to struggle to pay for his education, has established a substantial planned gift for UW-Green Bay for an endowment that some day will generate a significant annual income for scholarships. In 2004, he made a dollar-for-dollar match challenge in the alumni phone-a-thon that spurred record giving to the University by other alumni.

Not long ago, Mueller took an interest in the deteriorating bayshore cottage on University property that once was owned by legendary Packers coach Curly Lambeau. He made a generous gift that enabled the University to stabilize and refurbish the building and make it available for events.

The Sandmires have been active supporters of UW-Green Bay for 37 years. Their gifts to the University have assisted various athletics initiatives, the Founders Association, the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts, two capital campaigns, and the Phuture Phoenix. They established the Dr. Herbert and Crystal Sandmire Scholarship at UW-Green Bay.

Dr. Sandmire was a community lecturer in human biology at UW-Green Bay from 1967 to 1989. Crystal Sandmire, who earned a degree in communication and the arts at UW-Green Bay in 1980, was a charter member of the UW-Green Bay Founders Association. She served on its executive committee and was an officer. Former UW President Kenneth Shaw appointed her to the Advocate Team for the UW System in 1987.

Dr. Sandmire has had a long career in medicine, devoted to serving patients, scholarship in and service to the profession, and the development of future physicians. Crystal Sandmire has been associated with a long list of community institutions and organizations, serving on boards, as an officer, and in fund-raising efforts. The couple's commitment to education has extended to support for students in medical school, including a 20-year stint of providing housing in their home for University of Wisconsin medical students who had preceptorships in Green Bay.

If it rains, UW-Green Bay would have
two commencements

GREEN BAY - If rain seems likely to spoil the traditional outdoor commencement ceremony at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 13 at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the solution would be two commencement ceremonies in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts. Half the graduates would receive their diplomas at 11:30 a.m. and the other half in ceremonies at 3 p.m. In all other respects, the ceremonies would be the same.

The decision to go to the two-ceremony inclement weather plan would be made at 5 a.m. on the day of commencement, May 13. The announcement would be posted on the University's commencement Website at www.uwgb.edu/commencement and announcements posted on a voice mail site at (920) 465-2082.

The two-ceremony solution would be necessary in the event of rain because the size of the graduating class and the seating capacity of the Weidner Center would severely limit the number of guests for each student. Even with two ceremonies, each student would only receive four guest tickets.

If weather is not an issue, the University will proceed with its traditional, single outdoor ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Seating in the grassy amphitheater north of the main campus entrance drive is essentially unlimited. In addition to set-up chairs, many guests bring lawn chairs and blankets for informal seating.

Here are the lists of degrees that would be awarded at each ceremony should the event be moved into the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.

11:30 a.m. ceremony-
Associate of Arts degrees • Art • Communication • Communication and the Arts • Communication Processes • Computer Science • Economics • English • Environmental Policy and Planning • French • German • History • Human Development • Humanistic Studies • Individual Major • Information Science • Interdisciplinary Studies • Music • Philosophy • Political Science • Psychology • Public Administration • Social Change and Development • Spanish • Theater • Urban and Regional Studies

3 p.m. ceremony-
Accounting • Biology • Business Administration • Chemistry • Earth Science • Education • Environmental Science • Human Biology • Mathematics • Nursing • Social Work • All Master's Degrees

Greenberg is UW-Green Bay
commencement speaker on May 13

GREEN BAY- Martin H. Greenberg will be the speaker at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay commencement ceremonies at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 13 in the outdoor amphitheater north of the main entrance drive on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr.

A total of 690 students is eligible to graduate in ceremonies presided over by Chancellor Bruce Shepard. Graduating class members represent 10 countries around the world in addition to the U.S. May graduation numbers include individuals who actually will complete degree requirements in August.

In the event of bad weather, two ceremonies would be held in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts-one at 11:30 a.m. and one at 3 p.m.-with half the graduates receiving degrees at each ceremony. The decision to move the ceremony indoors would be made at 5 a.m. the day of commencement.

Greenberg, a professor emeritus of Urban and Regional Studies at UW-Green Bay, is a preeminent editor of literary anthologies and founder and CEO of Tekno Books, Inc., Green Bay.

A political scientist with expertise in terrorism and the Middle East, Greenberg first joined the UW-Green Bay faculty in 1969. He is co-editor of a book on nuclear terrorism published in the late 1970s. Greenberg has given presentations to entities including the United States Military Academy, the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Army's Training and Doctrine Command.

Greenberg retired from the University in 1995 to build the business that is now the largest company of its kind specializing in commercial fiction. Authors who work with Tekno Books include 55 who've been on The New York Times bestseller list, media celebrities and public figures. Greenberg is the only person in publishing history to be awarded all three major genre lifetime awards-the Ellery Queen Award in mystery fiction, the Milford Award in science fiction editing, and the Bram Stoker Award in supernatural horror fiction editing.

Michelle J. Missall of Suring will receive the Outstanding Student Award given by the UW-Green Bay Alumni Association. Missall is graduating with a major in communication processes with emphases in organizational communication and public relations and a minor in communication and the arts with an emphasis in arts management. She has achieved cum laude honors and recently was awarded the Chancellor's Medallion for Excellence. Missall was elected to Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary in all disciplines.

During the past academic year, Missall held two internship-one at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts and one in the community. She served as entertainment editor for the Fourth Estate student newspaper for two and a half years and was active in Student Government and on Good Times Programming Board. She also was an editorial assistant for Voyageur, the Brown County Historical magazine, for a semester.

The student speaker will be Kathy A. Mlaker, Eagle River, who has completed majors in psychology and human development. She is graduating with highest honors and a near-perfect grade point average. In 2005 and 2006, Mlaker participated in research projects that were selected for exhibition at the annual UW-Green Bay Academic Excellence Symposium. She recently received the University Leadership Award. She has been elected to Phi Kappa Phi, the all-discipline honorary; Psi Chi, psychology honorary; and Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honorary.

During the past academic year, Mlaker was an intern in the UW-Green Bay Admissions Office and also communicated with University alumni on behalf of the Advancement Office. She served as a Student Ambassador for two years. Mlaker plans to earn a master's degree in counseling and college student personnel.

Retiring professor Kenneth J. Fleurant will be awarded the title Professor Emeritus. A member of the UW-Green Bay faculty since 1970, he taught in the French and humanistic studies academic units. Fleurant also served the University in many other capacities, including most recently as secretary of the faculty and academic staff.

New Music, Drumming Ensembles perform at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY-The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay New Music and Hand Drumming Ensembles will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 5 in University Theater located in Theater Hall on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr. Faculty member Cheryl Grosso directs both groups.

The 14 instrumentalists and vocalists in New Music Ensemble will perform challenging compositions, with most of them arranged by Grosso.

Two John Cage compositions on the program include a solo for prepared piano, "Primitive," performed by pianist Arianne Timmers, and a piece for closed piano and voice, "A Flower," in which the pianist plays with fingers and knuckles on the closed piano lid.

Another piano composition on the program is a duet, Michael Parsons' "Rhythm Study II," performed by Angela Delucia and Olesia Guba.

"Pitch City," by William Duckworth and "Take 5" by Barney Childs are compositions with some elements of chance. In "Take 5," instrumentalists deal out a deck of cards denoting rhythms and other musical instructions just before the concert and then perform what is on the cards as they came up. "Pitch City" assigns each musician a specific pitch, but they have some freedom as to use.

Percussionist Brett Walters and vocalists will perform "Ballad with Epitaphs" by Armand Russell. Voices also perform Kenneth Maue's "Becoming Chant," a spoken piece on pitches.

Members of the ensemble arranged "In the Aeolian Mode," by James Tenney.

A new composition by Grosso, "Rhythm Chant 26" will be the closing number for Hand Drumming Ensemble. Their program also includes her "Rhythm Chant DC," a 15-year-old composition performed only once previously, and three other Grosso compositions, "Rhythm Chant Nu-Sam," "Rhythm Chant 5+" and "Rhythm Chant K."

Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for students and seniors. The numbers for tickets are (920) 465-2217 or (800) 328-8587.
