Phoenix Phacts Challenge Community-service day HeartWalk Inaugural Week |
Vol. 34, No. 6 / September 16, 2002The LOG Online e-mail news digest is distributed each week to faculty and staff of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Links are included to more detailed stories at the Marketing and University Communication Web site and to an archive of past issues.
Don't bet against Chancellors' 'Wrecking Crew'Here's a reminder that Inauguration Week kicks off in the Nicolet Room today (Monday, Sept. 16) with fun, history and, we're guessing, a bit of good-natured teasing in the Phoenix Phacts Challenge. (At least there should be some teasing if the Bruce Shepard/Ed Weidner juggernaut ever misses a question. Talk about stacking the sides! Did George Steinbrenner make up these teams? Although, to be fair, Jerry "The Mace" Rodesch has a powerful club, too.) The first question is set for 12:30 p.m. The four teams are:
The Wrecking Crew
The Flaming Fighting Tomatoes
The T.E.R.M.inators
Jerry "The Mace" Rodesch & The Medallions * * * * *
Tuesday is community-service day; look for a new garage outside MACHUW-Green Bay students will reach out to the community during the University's "Creating Our Future Together" celebration. Special activities take place all week, but Tuesday will be a busy day. A Habitat for Humanity garage build occurs throughout the day at the main entrance to Mary Ann Cofrin Hall. (The components will be stored for a special "youth build" next spring.) In other events, volunteers interested in sprucing up the Cofrin Arboretum will meet at 3 p.m. at the Biodiversity office. Also, students are invited to extend greeting-card messages to ManorCare residents; four card-making "stations will be set up in the Student Services Building. There's more.

Inaugural Week: We embrace communityIt is said that an Inauguration is more about the University than a single individual. Prof. David Littig says community members who visit the campus during Inauguration Week will discover a rich array of courses, academic programs and activities. "The University is open and embraces the community," he said. "We will be very proud to have you come and visit us." The news release describing the week is at http://www.uwgb.edu/univcomm/news/archive/2002sep.htm#week. The calendar of events is at http://www.uwgb.edu/chancellor/creating/calendar.htm. * * * * *
