Students Need You

Join the movement: educate and empower!

Across Wisconsin, and the nation, there’s a rising recognition of education's crucial role in society. Public schools are estimated to be operating with about 108,000 fewer qualified, certified teachers than needed to fully staff vacancies nationally. The message is clear: communities everywhere urgently need dedicated individuals like you to pursue careers in teaching.

Payton Heinberg

Connected to Our Community

"Green Bay did a lot for me. I got to do a lot of cool things as an athlete and student that really helped me grow as a person. I learned how to communicate with all types of people and have fun doing it. Some of the connections that I established during both undergrad and graduate work allowed me to feel connected to the community outside of UWGB. Getting to have hands on field experience with numerous teachers in many different schools allowed me to hone my craft and find my niche in my field."
