Vol. 37, No. 103, April 25, 2006 / Log Archive
In theory, the LOG newsletter comes out only twice a week, but until things slow down, you're going to have to live with us on a more-or-less daily basis. Like $3-a-gallon gas, toner cartridge scams, and Tom Cruise, only better. Or, at least, more rational.
Reminder: 8th Congressional District Democratic debate on campus tonight

With Cofrins' help, UW-Green Bay completes fundraising for Kress Events Center
Dr. David and Mary Ann Cofrin added the final touch to UW-Green Bay's private fundraising effort for the Kress Events Center. Made public today, the Cofrins' gift of $1 million enabled the University to exceed $11 million in private support for the Kress Center. Chancellor Bruce Shepard said UW-Green Bay "would not be what it is today" without the support of the Cofrins. The Kress Events Center, the new and improved sports, recreation and events center at UW-Green Bay, will open in fall 2007.
Capital campaign emphasis now entirely on academics
Fundraising for the Kress Events Center was the first priority for The Campaign for UW-Green Bay out of necessity. The University had to raise at least $7.5 million by Dec. 31, 2004 to obtain a matching commitment from the state. Now, UW-Green Bay is in a position to focus the campaign entirely on enhancing academic programs.
