Taking the lead: Alumni in education

The numbers hint at the impact. Two graduates serve on the UW System Board of Regents. Others serve as district superintendents and, in Brown County alone, two dozen alumni serve as school principals. Talented teachers enter or re-enter the profession each year having graduated from UW-Green Bay’s Education program, the Master’s in Applied Leadership for Teaching and Learning, or the Professional Development Certificate program.


“As a resident, as a grad, I have always been proud of the UW System. Serving on the board has only heightened my awareness of how the University and its grads are such a tremendous force for good.”
Eileen Connolly-Keesler ’82
Member, UW Board of Regents





“I like to view myself as a leader, which combines qualities of an educator with aspects of being a manager… While there are many great things we do every day in public schools, there is also a need to continually improve.”
Tony Klaubauf ’81
Superintendent, Denmark School District





“I am happy to have made a career in the education field. I received a great education at UW-Green Bay and am very proud to be a UW-Green Bay graduate.”
Todd Carlson ’89
Superintendent, Shawano School District





“UWGB and its graduates contribute not only to their K-12 partners, and to collaborating with NWTC, but they have also had an enormous positive impact on our economy.”
Mary Quinnette Cuene ’88
Member, UW Board of Regents Faculty member, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College
