Association honors top alumni

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Alumni Association honored four graduates at the annual awards night in April.

Receiving the highest honors, Distinguished Alumni Awards, were David T. Muench and Mary M. Kabacinski.

Muench, of Appleton, graduated in 1972 with a degree in Regional Analysis and received a master’s in Environmental Arts and Sciences in 1979. He was an award-winning community development specialist for UW-Extension before accepting a position with EcoEnergy as a wind power educator and advocate. He is a former president of the Alumni Association.

Kabacinski ’71, Humanism and Cultural Change, was a classroom math teacher who returned to UW-Green Bay and earned a degree in accounting and CPA status in 1981. She went on to become chief financial officer for School Specialty, Inc., the largest distributor of school supplies in the country. Recently retired, she is active with the Fox Cities community foundation and various service organizations.

Recognized with Outstanding Recent Alumni Awards were Rachel (Neff) Greenley, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee; and U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Amy Roznowski, a Cobra helicopter pilot who was on active duty and preparing for a new mission. Roznowski accepted her award via a videotaped acceptance speech.
