Million-Dollar Smiles

With the University capping its largest capital campaign ever, at $30 million, learn why students and grads are bound to benefit

Annual Report Issue DECEMBER 2009

Notes from 2420 Nicolet…

Surrounded by good friends, we look for great things ahead Greetings from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay! As of this writing I have served about six months as chancellor. I’m not yet to the point where people entirely stop calling me “the new guy,” but I’ve been here long enough to feel fully at home. My wife, Cathy, and I have been genuinely touched by the warm and supportive welcome. Family members who traveled here in October for my formal installation (that’s some of them, but not all, surrounding us below) noticed the same thing. They congratulated us on our good fortune in joining a community that believes so passionately in its public university. Please see the list of contributors to the just-concluded $30 million capital campaign, and the names of nearly 2,500 community leaders, alumni, employees and partners who support this institution on an annual basis. They help make UW-Green Bay a special university. I came to Green Bay after a decade with a university that is exactly the same age, 40 years old this fall, so I know the challenges of a growing institution. That UW-Green Bay is so far along is a tribute to the people of this region and all who support its mission. We face significant challenges, of course. In addressing faculty and staff to open the school year, I noted that public expectations for American higher education have never been greater. Degree completion, access, cost containment, job development and economic development are critical issues. What’s more, enrollment demand is rising at the same time severe recession is squeezing resources and battering our region. It can be hard to be an optimist. Yet, as I said in my remarks to campus, things cycle, and they cycle faster for those who are optimistic and anticipate the opportunities. Having good friends helps, too. That’s why I believe we are on the precipice of even greater things coming to and coming out of UWGB. I look forward to working with you.

Completed through a student/state/private partnership that included $11 million in community donations, the Kress earned glowing reviews as a spacious graduation day venue with ample seating and good sight lines.

Million-dollar smiles What can an influx of more than $30 million in private philanthropy do for a regional public university? Plenty to benefit today’s students and tomorrow’s graduates. Plenty to smile about. The recent Campaign for UW-Green Bay yielded major gains in student scholarships. That makes college more affordable for the less affluent, and increases the number of merit scholarships to attract top applicants. New facilities — in particular the Kress Events Center — foster a dynamic campus atmosphere that should help retain talented students. Additionally, the Campaign’s success in establishing endowed chairs and professorships enhances academic quality by rewarding faculty standouts and creating new opportunities for student learning.

Campaign’s finish line a

$30 million drive creates scholarships, facilities, academic options Chancellor Thomas K. Harden announced in December that the University of WisconsinGreen Bay’s capital drive, the Campaign for UW-Green Bay, has concluded having raised more than $30 million. The six-year Campaign exceeded its stated goal of $25 million and succeeded in advancing academics, boosting student scholarship endowments and remaking the physical campus. “The community response was remarkable,” Harden said. “Other universities may lean heavily upon alumni, but with our moderate size and youth, that alone won’t get us where we need to be. That’s why we are fortunate to have such a generous community, with donors who appreciate UW-Green Bay and the value of a strong public university.” The drive netted approximately $19 million for academic purposes and $11 million to support construction of a new student sports and events center. For many contributors, their gifts represented capstone or largest-ever gifts to charity.

December 2009

There were six separate gifts of $1 million or more. Two dozen gifts of $100,000 or more. And more than 2,500 gifts in total, from individuals, families, companies and foundations. Former paper company executive Tom Olson and civic leader Ginny Riopelle stepped forward as volunteer co-chairs when planning was initiated. Later, retired financial services executive Mike Meeuwsen joined as an unofficial, third co-chair. Honorary co-chairs at the outset were Elizabeth Hendrickson ’79, and the late Edward W. Weidner and John M. “Jake” Rose. Harden also credited former UW-Green Bay officials including chancellor Bruce Shepard, interim chancellor David Ward and assistant chancellor Steve Swan for their leadership. He also praised the work of Dan Spielmann and the University Advancement division, and the ongoing strength of annual giving via the University’s Founders Association. “Given the uncertain economy during much of this time, and the pressure of declining state support,” Harden commented, “this was a very impressive group effort by campus and community, working together.”

Community leaders earn campus thanks Knowing that challenging work loomed ahead, they said “yes,” anyway. Now, years later, Tom Olson (above, left) and Ginny Riopelle are fielding congratulations as volunteer co-chairs of the largest capital campaign in school history, the recently concluded, $30 million Campaign for UW-Green Bay. Also sharing in the achievement is Mike Meeuwsen (above, right), who was a catalyst behind private fundraising for the new sports and events center. Comments Chancellor Thomas Harden, “We owe so much to them. Highly respected in the community, they were able to inspire others to go above and beyond in supporting UW-Green Bay.”

starting point for change Campaign wins: They’re big believers in Human Development

Campaign accomplishments: • Created more than 50 new named scholarships, more than doubling the scholarship endowment • Established UW-Green Bay’s first endowed chair, the John P. Blair Endowed Chair in Communication • Established a second endowed chair with the new Austin E. Cofrin Chair in Business • Created or expanded four named professorships — the Frederick E. Baer Professorship in Business, the Patricia Wood Baer Professorship in Education, the Austin E. Cofrin Professorship in Management, and the enhanced Philip J. and Elizabeth B. Hendrickson Professorship for Business • Restored and remodeled Lambeau Cottage on the campus bayshore • Added a campus bell tower, the Weidner Memorial Carillon • Remade the campus landscape with the Kress Events Center — funded one-third by Campaign contributions in partnership with state funds and student fees — and the companion project to the Kress, the $6.2 million remodeling of the University Union funded by revenues and student fees

They created the Bonnie M. and Fergus P. Hughes Annual Scholarship to assist students majoring in Human Development and psychology. It was an act of generosity that reflects lengthy commitment to UW-Green Bay and its students. Fergus Hughes began his career as a faculty member in 1972, and Bonnie is a 1974 UW-Green Bay graduate long active in campus and community activities, including service to the school’s Alumni Association. Well-known to generations of students who took his psychology classes, Prof. Hughes moved from the classroom to administration as interim dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for three years before retiring in 2007.

Hometown Legacy

Campaign’s biggest gift honors papermaking giant Austin E. Cofrin It is the largest private donation for academic purposes in UW-Green Bay history. It caps an ambitious University fundraising campaign and propels it well past its goal. It allows one of Green Bay’s famous families to more fully honor its patriarch’s memory. A $5.5 million gift from Dr. David A. Cofrin will accomplish many things, but foremost among them, it provides UW-Green Bay new resources to elevate its popular business and accounting programs and to enhance academic excellence across campus. “This is a magnificent contribution, and we are deeply grateful,” says Chancellor Thomas Harden. “Few universities are blessed with friends as loyal as the Cofrin Family.”

Erica Kiela Freshman, Plymouth Human Biology major

It was shortly before Dr. David Cofrin’s death last summer (see story at right) that the family contacted the University about yet another milestone contribution to campus and community. Motivation was Cofrin’s desire to honor his father, Austin E. Cofrin (1883-1980), whose ingenuity and drive transformed what in 1919 had been a small mill on the Fox River into the Fort Howard Paper Co., a world leader in the paper products industry.

“Obviously this helps me financially. I think I’m going to pursue a medical career, possibly in chiropractic health. It also gave me the opportunity to attend the scholarship banquet and meet interesting, inspiring people.”

University officials say they’re delighted by the symbolic link to one of 20th century America’s great industrial entrepreneurs. Austin E. Cofrin was a Green Bay original, a self-made man who emphasized efficiency and top quality for customers. He was

Campaign wins: Dining for dollars to benefit students Set in motion at the time of the going-away celebration for former Chancellor Mark Perkins, the Chancellor’s Achievement Scholarship grew when Perkins’ successor, Bruce Shepard, and his wife, Cyndie, settled on the idea of an annual gala fundraiser. The Chancellor’s Scholarship Dinner became both a solid revenue-producer for student aid and a signature social event for campus and community. The resulting scholarships go to students who have excelled academically and have demonstrated strong leadership qualities. 4

an unpretentious, hands-on CEO who in the early years sometimes slept on a cot in the basement of the mill to be near the action. He often walked to work, taking a shortcut from his East Side home by marching across the high train bridge spanning the river. UW-Green Bay will honor his memory with the following: • The naming and dedication of the Austin E. Cofrin School of Business on the UW-Green Bay campus. • Creation of a $4 million permanent endowment to fund academic excellence. • Allotment of $1.5 million to an existing named professorship — the Austin E. Cofrin Professor ship in Management — in order to elevate it to the status of a fully endowed chair. The University is finalizing plans for applying the endowment proceeds, and a formal dedication of the renamed business program is likely at a later date to focus attention on the Cofrin legacy. Prof. Marilyn Sagrillo, chairperson of the Business Administration program, says there’s a lesson for current and future students in Austin E. Cofrin’s unrelenting drive to be the best. She points to a simple quote, framed and embraced as a Fort Howard motto: “We’re going to do this. And we’re going to do it better than anyone else.” — A.E. Cofrin

Gift evokes Fort Howard Paper history When the historic archives of the Fort Howard Co. were donated nearly a decade ago to the University library, then-Green Bay Mayor Paul Jadin spoke at the dedication ceremony. “You can’t tell the story of Green Bay without telling the story of two things: the Packers and papermaking, particularly Fort Howard,” Jadin said. The Fort Howard collection (including the photos and marketing samples shown here) is available for review, upon appointment, at the Area Research Center on the library’s seventh floor. Records extend from the company’s founding to just prior to consolidation with James River and, later, Georgia-Pacific, which runs the Green Bay mill today.

A friend of nature, arts and UW-Green Bay Dr. David A. Cofrin, whose name stands tall across Northeast Wisconsin, died Aug. 11 in Gainesville, Fla., at the age of 85. A Green Bay native and the youngest son of the family that founded Fort Howard Paper Co., David Cofrin pursued medical studies, served as an Air Force surgeon and set up practice in Gainesville, Fla. Although he moved away decades before his hometown realized its dream of having its own public university, he and his wife, Mary Ann, would later embrace that vision with an unparalleled record of philanthropy. Reminders of the Cofrin legacy are prominent across campus. The institution’s landmark building, the eight-story library learning center, stands at the physical and academic center of campus. It was renamed the David A. Cofrin Library in his honor in 1990. Other

facilities bearing the family name include the classroom building Mary Ann Cofrin Hall; the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity (a center for environmental research and education); the 2,000-seat Cofrin Family Hall inside the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts; and the 290-acre Cofrin Memorial Arboretum encircling campus. “Behind his incredible generosity was a person of genuine kindness and wisdom,” comments Prof. Robert Howe, biodiversity director, who led Dr. Cofrin on bird-banding and nature excursions. “I’ve been privileged to see many, many students, faculty and others benefit from the gifts of Dr. Cofrin, Mary Ann, and their children.” At a campus dinner honoring the Cofrins in 2001, former chancellor Edward Weidner paid tribute to his friends’ civic spirit. “Real

philanthropists have to be more than ‘money givers,’” he said. “They have to be real families with real values that express themselves through their philanthropy. That’s very true with the Cofrins.” Dr. David A. Cofrin is survived by his wife, Mary Ann Harn Cofrin; sons David H. and Paige, and daughters Mary Ann, Edith and Gladys; grandchildren and other relatives. December 2009

Scholarships pay off

As investment, Campaign’s push for student aid will yield dividends

In casual conversation, scholarships are often said to have been ‘given’ or ‘received,’ as if they were neatly wrapped presents. Actually, most UW-Green Bay scholarships are earned. Awards are made to high-ability individuals or to those of modest means but significant potential. With creation of 50 new named scholarship funds, the Campaign for UW-Green Bay has succeeded in roughly doubling the number of schol-

Non-traditional grad gave back to students, Packers history Craig Mueller, UW-Green Bay Class of 1971, took a long and winding road to graduation. In fact, his sister Marcia likes to tell the story that on commencement day then-Chancellor Edward Weidner handed Mueller an affectionate wisecrack to go along with the handshake and diploma. “It’s about time, Mueller,” Weidner said with a smile. Fortunately for UW-Green Bay, the non-traditional student who spent an on-and-off decade piling up credits at the new University and its forerunner, the two-year Green Bay center, wasn’t done yet. Mueller went on to become a commercial air pilot, an America’s Cup crewman and a dedicated philanthropist, always with a deep love for his alma mater. A devoted Packers fan, Mueller would underwrite the refurbishing of historic Lambeau Cottage on the campus bayshore. The 1940s cottage was built by team founder Curly Lambeau on land later acquired by the University. Lambeau Cottage is a popular spot for staff retreats, donor entertaining, informal receptions and meetings.

Campaign wins: Love of fine arts is family’s gift

The capstone gift came after his passing in September 2007. He left $1 million to fund scholarships for students in his former areas of study, the Arts and Visual Design and Communication academic units. Mueller’s bequest is the largest gift ever for the scholarship fund and the largest gift of any kind by an alumnus.

Chris Rand Senior, Kewaunee art major “This scholarship eases the burden… Every day I attempt to show others the generosity that the Hagemeisters have shown to me. I am hoping to be a game-changer on an epic level, to change the world, if only one person at a time.”

The Hagemeister Family Art Scholarship recalls one of Green Bay’s first families of fine arts. Sisters Annelies and Kristina Hagemeister endowed the fund in 2006 in memory of sculptor Henry F. Hagemeister III, their father. The gift was also a tribute to their late grandmother Charlotte Nelson Hagemeister, and to their mother, UW-Green Bay Prof. Emerita Karon (Eltgroth Hagemeister) Winzenz. Karon is the former curator of the school’s Lawton Gallery, and widely known as an active artist and teacher. Her one-person exhibition in 2002 (shown above) featured works influenced by the ritual art and architecture of prehistoric, tribal and non-Western cultures. December 2009

Academic excellence

Endowed chairs, prestigious professorships are Campaign gains Establishment of endowed chairs can help move an already strong academic program to an elite level. New named professorships — although on a slightly more modest scale — accomplish the same thing. The $30 million Campaign for UW-Green Bay achieved gains in both categories. Donors made unprecedented investments in the institution and its faculty. Prior to the Campaign, the University was similar to many public institutions of its size and relative youth in that it had yet to create its first endowed chair. Such a multi-milliondollar fund covers the salary of an additional position in an area of special importance, and typically involves the hiring or retention of a faculty star. In 2003, the late Mrs. Dorothy Blair (facing page, above) made what was then the single largest gift to a specific academic program in UW-Green Bay history. More recently, the family of Fort Howard Paper Co. founder Austin E. Cofrin made a generous gift to create the University’s second endowed chair (pages 4-5). The two positions lend strength to well-

Campaign wins: For students, love of travel lives on For 34 years, UW-Green Bay Prof. Tony Galt shared his global worldview and love of travel with his Social Change and Development students, certain that an international experience would forever impact their lives. His own academic career was marked by groundbreaking historical and ethnographic studies in Sicily and southern Italy. After he lost his battle with cancer in 2005, his wife, Janice, and son Alex established the Tony Galt Student Travel Scholarship in his memory. Each year, it provides one student a $2,500 scholarship for a travel-abroad experience such as studying at a foreign university. Janice Galt appeared (above) at the December 2005 commencement to receive Tony’s emeritus plaque from former chancellor Bruce Shepard. 8

regarded and popular programs in Communication and Business Administration. Another Campaign highlight was the impressive expansion of the list of named professorships, now totaling eight. The professorships are multi-year awards to top faculty members, channeling additional resources to fund cutting-edge research, outstanding teaching and valuable community service. The newest professorships — the two Baer funds, the Cofrin and the enhanced Hendrickson fund — are additions to a portfolio that dates to the University’s first major capital campaign in the early 1980s. Former assistant chancellor Donald Harden was point person for the drive co-chaired by local business and civic leaders Donald J. Long and James Temp. That campaign also led to construction of UW-Green Bay’s first residence halls.

Blair Chair was first for UW-Green Bay Mrs. Dorothy Blair and Prof. Timothy Meyer shared lunch in the Vista Conference Room during her 2003 visit to campus (left). Her $1.5 million donation was the first major gift announced for the Campaign for UW-Green Bay. She funded the John P. Blair Endowed Chair in Communication — which Meyer now holds — to honor her late husband, a Madison Avenue executive with Wisconsin ties who helped develop the business model that would fuel TV’s “Golden Age” boom in the 1950s. Annual interest from the Blair endowment helps underwrite advanced research and an additional faculty position in Meyer’s area. Students benefit from new courses, more and smaller sections in existing courses, and expanded internship and research opportunities.

Named Endowments, Professorships An endowment is a permanent fund that is invested to earn income to support a specific area or the greater needs of the institution as a whole. The principal is protected. Endowment earnings support a wide array of programs and activities. Many student scholarship funds (page 6) are endowments. Numerous endowments generate funds to help support operation of specific academic programs, campus life programs, facilities, library acquisitions, arts initiatives, athletics, and more (listed below).

Campus makeover

New Kress Center, Union expansion meet student demand

As early as the 1990s, students, alumni and UW-Green Bay officials were pushing hard for student-life facilities worthy of a rising, well-respected academic institution.

Now a reality, the $33 million Kress Events Center earned a national award for innovation in architectural design earlier this year. The Kress boasts a 4,000-seat arena for women’s basketball games and volleyball matches, a state-of-the-art “People, when they come here, should fitness facility for campus, community and have a full experience,” observed one student leader at the time. “We’re not get- alumni, renovated and expanded office ting the experiences that students have on spaces, new practice facilities, an indoor turf gym and more. other campuses.” Student tour guides, embarrassed, stopped bringing prospective freshmen through the undersized and badly outdated Phoenix Sports Center. The Top 25 women’s basketball team played its home games in a 1,500-seat bandbox gym. The campus was outgrowing space for spring commencement, student life and all-campus convocations. Things took a turn for the better in spring 2000. Student representatives agreed to a fee increase to fund future PSC and Union expansion. That gave a green light for campus officials to seek matching state funds ($7.5 million) and private support ($11 million) through the Campaign for UW-Green Bay.

“It has certainly become a point of pride on our campus,” Athletics Director Ken Bothof says. “The positive impact it has had for our athletic program and our student-athletes is obvious. The positive

impact it has had on the recreational and intramural benefits of our students can be seen in the large increase in the numbers of users and participants.” Also a hit is the expanded and remodeled University Union, which was dedicated the following year. The University honored the event center’s lead private donors, the Kress Family and Kress Foundation, at groundbreaking in 2005 and again at dedication in fall 2007. Posing (below) near a framed sketch of the facility were Kress family members Jim and Julie Kress (foreground), joined by Jim’s sons John and Will (holding his own son).

Carol’s Court honors model volunteer, citizen and friend

The home floor at the Kress Events Center is named “Carol’s Court” to honor one of Phoenix women’s basketball’s biggest fans, Carol Bush. She and her husband, Robert, (above) have a long relationship with UW-Green Bay and its athletic teams. Capping decades of philanthropic generosity, the couple made a major gift to kick-start private fundraising for the community’s one-third share of the $33 million Kress Events Center. The ribbon-cutting for the first basketball game at the 4,000-seat facility took place Nov. 3, 2007. It was Bob Bush’s recommendation — and a surprise to his wife and others — that the court was named in her honor when UW-Green Bay sought to acknowledge their leadership gift. Bob Bush is the retired chairman, CEO and president of Schreiber Foods, and he currently serves as an officer of the Chancellor’s Council of Trustees. Carol Bush is widely known for her work as a philanthropist and community leader, in particular on behalf of the fine arts, education and family and children’s issues. Said former chancellor Bruce Shepard, “We honor Carol Bush for modeling volunteerism, citizenship and friendship.”

Now, so does this one Nancy Weidner Larson remembers that her late father, chancellor Edward Weidner, once remarked, “Every great university has a carillon.” Larson shared that recollection at the dedication of the Weidner Memorial Carillon. A bell tower was part of his long-term wish list for the campus he founded. The carillon was dedicated June 6 to coincide with the second anniversary of his passing. Memorial gifts and contributions from Weidner’s friends, family and former colleagues funded purchase and installation.

Jon Juckem Senior, Chilton Business Administration and Human Development “I had brain cancer when I was 12, and forever changed. I take education seriously because I want a chance to affect others. I am grateful for Ceil Hintz’s gift. I’m paying my own way and this scholarship really helps.”

Campaign wins: Loud and clear, gift was tribute to mom When Alvina Hintz passed away just shy of her 102nd birthday, her daughter Ceil took steps to pay lasting tribute. With a five-figure gift in 2003, the UW-Green Bay graduate and former staff member established the Alvina A. Hintz Scholarship to benefit physically challenged college students. “Mom never had the opportunity to go on to school,” says Ceil (at right in the family photo above), “but that was no barrier.” Born in 1901 in central Wisconsin’s cutover country, Alvina had no formal schooling. It’s not that there wasn’t a schoolhouse nearby, or that her parents needed her on the farm or that she somehow wasn’t clever enough. The reality was that in those years, rural districts had few options for hearingimpaired children. The family was encouraged to keep her at home. Remarkably, the girl who heard so little soon mastered not only the Polish language of her immigrant parents but English and German, too. “I believe that because she was self-educated, she truly valued education and encouraged it all the more for her children,” Ceil says.

CAMPUS NEWS

He’s Wisconsin’s Professor of the Year It was a proud day for UWGreen Bay when one of its own traveled to Washington, D.C., in November to accept recognition as one of America’s top educators. Prof. Regan A.R. Gurung was formally recognized as the Wisconsin Professor of the Year. Awarded by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the honors spotlight 50 teachers who excel at influencing the lives and careers of their students.

Economy helps fuel enrollment UW-Green Bay had a record-setting number of students attending class this fall. The official student headcount of 6,549 students was up 300 from the previous year. Factors include a large freshman class, a big increase in distance-education learners through the Adult Degree program, and strong retention of previously enrolled students. Officials say the University also felt an obligation to keep admissions open longer to serve local students who wanted a close-to-home option when their education plans changed because of the economic downturn.

A UW-Green Bay faculty member since 1999, Gurung is famous on campus for knowing each of his Human Development and psychology students by name (even in large classes), for encouraging them to pursue advanced research, and for inviting the best to present their findings at professional conferences. His own research in health psychology has garnered national attention in areas dealing with culture, stress, body image, smoking cessation and related topics.

Green Bay goes big with Earth Day plans Economics and ecology will be at the forefront in April when UW-Green Bay celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first Earth Day. The campus will hosts its second annual Green Innovations symposium April 22 and 23 for businesses interested in improving their bottom lines though innovation and sustainability. Breakout sessions will target transportation, the wind-energy economic cluster, employee wellness, and sustainable business practices.

FACULTY AND Arts and Visual Design Professor Toni Damkoehler ’92 received a major national award in graphic design, placing among the gold winners in the Graphis Poster Annual 2010 for the piece she designed for the UWGreen Bay Theatre production of “The Sleeper.”

Cuts hit home Shirts for sale at the Phoenix Bookstore milk the issue for laughs, but the state-ordered budget cuts are real. UW-Green Bay identified four common “furlough days” that will trigger campus closings; remaining dates are Dec. 28, Jan. 15 and May 28, 2010. All state employees are required to take as many as eight furlough days annually and a 3 percent reduction in earnings. In a letter to students, Chancellor Thomas Harden wrote: “After years of lean budgets and belt tightening, there’s no longer a question as to whether we can somehow negate the impact of budget cuts and fully maintain services. We can’t…” 12

Heir to Wehking dynasty leads soccer’s return to NCAAs Over a 15-year stretch beginning in 1972, Gene and Mary Wehking of St. Louis sent four sons to Green Bay to help power the program’s early rise as a soccer power: Mark (1972-75), Matt (1974-77), Murray (1977-80) and Mike (1982-85).

This year’s breakout season shouldn’t have been a surprise to those who know their UW-Green Bay soccer history: Star freshman Ryan Wehking is a second-generation success story.

That’s uncle Mark, left, with his nephew at a recent campus reception. Ryan Wehking, who is Matt’s son, played nearly every minute in goal and posted nine shutouts for Coach Tom Poitras this year. The Phoenix went 14-3-2 and earned its first NCAA bid since 1983.

Education focuses on tribal issues Through partnering with tribal elders, UW-Green Bay’s new Center for First Nation Studies aims to help future educators do a more comprehensive job of teaching youth about the history, culture, sovereignty and contemporary issues of American Indians. The state of Wisconsin mandates the topics be taught, but observers say the depth and quality of K-12 curricula vary widely. The UW-Green Bay program seeks to be a clearinghouse for best practices. Prof. Lisa Poupart, chair of the University’s First Nations Studies program, and Prof. Tim Kaufman, Education program chair, direct the program. They say a key aspect involves matching UW-Green Bay student teachers with local tribal elders who will assist the project.

Faculty members from across campus contributed to an interdisciplinary publication by UW-Green Bay’s Center for Food in Community and Culture. Lynn Walter and Laurel Phoenix edited the two-volume collection Critical Food Issues: Problems and State-of-the-Art Solutions. Other faculty contributors included Joanne Gardner, Regan A.R. Gurung, Aeron Haynie, Vicki Medland, Debra Pearson, Larry Smith, Sandra Stokes and Cheryl Kalny. The books touched on an array of topics related to agriculture, the environment, health, society and ethics.

The UW System Regents approved the promotions from assistant to associate professor with tenure of Sarah Detweiler, Arts and Visual Design; Clifton Ganyard, Humanistic Studies; Vladimir Kurenok, Natural and Applied Sciences; Ryan Martin, Human Development; Daniel Meinhardt, Human Biology; Jolanda M. Sallmann, Social Work; David Voelker, Humanistic Studies; and Amy Wolf ’89 and ’93, Natural and Applied Sciences.

LAATSCH TO MINNESOTA?

Lee

Mai J. Lo Lee, multicultural adviser in the American Intercultural Center, was one of 17 women from around the state selected to receive a UW System Outstanding Women of Color in Education Award.

Prof. Ellen Rosewall was selected to serve as an Arts-in-Crisis Mentor for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, available as a visiting consultant for arts organizations nationwide struggling with the economic downturn. One of UW-Green Bay’s founding professors, Robert Ditton, died Oct. 30 in College Station, Texas. Two longtime figures with Phoenix Athletics passed away, as well. Fundraiser and Bayfest founder Tim Quigley died April 17 at age 68. Bernard “Bernie” Starks, who chaired physical education programs for two decades, was 78 when he died April 29.

One of UW-Green Bay’s most popular and longest serving faculty members called it a career last summer, after 43 years. Prof. William Laatsch began as an instructor with the Green Bay and Fox Valley center campuses in 1966-67. He taught cultural geography, became an expert on Door County’s Belgian heritage region, and won awards for teaching excellence.

“I’d love to do it all over again,” he says. And I love our students. They’re the reason we’re here.” In typical convivial form at his campus going-away party, Laatsch also joked about abandoning his initial retirement several years ago when the University lured him back to serve as interim vice chancellor. Now, he said, he’s really retired, “unless the Jets (or Vikings) call.” December 2009

Strong turnout for Vets Day at military-friendly UW-Green Bay Visiting VIPs were in ample supply Nov. 11 for the annual Veterans Day gathering on campus. Local and state elected officials joined a high-ranking U.S. Army delegation in saluting the contributions of all military veterans but in particular those of current UWGreen Bay students, faculty and staff. (Posing here are Col. Stephen Curda, brigade commander for the 308th Civil Affairs unit, and Maj. Matthew Miller, headquarters company commander for the homestate 432nd Civil Affairs Battalion.) Also in attendance was Brigadier Gen. William Gothard,

Faculty/staff campaign bucks economic downturn UW-Green Bay posted a big increase in employee giving to the annual Founders Association fundraising drive for UWGreen Bay. Nearly two-thirds of faculty and staff members contributed to the campaign, setting a new record for participation despite the troubled economy. Chancellor Thomas Harden called it a “huge success” and thanked the volunteer facilitators, coordinators and captains who led the effort. Three teams hit 100% participation: Phoenix Athletics, the 8th floor administrative units, and the Outreach and Adult Access division.

who helped present certificates of appreciation to student veterans. Earlier this year, UW-Green Bay was named one of the top “military friendly” schools in the nation by G.I. Jobs magazine. The award recognizes campuswide commitment to serving veterans, annual activities such as the reception and care-package collections, and assignment of a dedicated veterans assistance coordinator. That staff member, Elaina Koltz, says the University has about 300 students (about 5 percent of total enrollment) receiving veterans benefits this fall.

Remembering Stuart Stiles Longtime friend and advocate Stuart L. Stiles passed away in May at age 93. He was the longest-serving board member (29 years) with the UW-Green Bay Founders Association and a former board president (1985-87). The retired president and CEO of Morley-Murphy Co., Stiles was a leadership donor to the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts, and his wife, Nancy, headed the seat donor drive. Stu Stiles received the University’s highest community honor, the Chancellor’s Award, in 1986.

“It confirms what I recognized about this University when I first visited a year ago,” said Harden. “This is a generous community.”

New provost has big-school background

Julia E. Wallace joined the UWGreen Bay administrative team in late summer as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, serving as the top academic officer reporting to the chancellor. Wallace was previously provost for Central Michigan University, enrollment 27,000, and the longtime dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Northern Iowa, enrollment 13,000.

The organization bestowed Founders Director Emeritus status upon Swette, a board member since 1986 and a tireless advocate on behalf of academic and scholarships initiatives. A veteran business person and owner of Appraisers Inc., Swette got a big laugh from the audience when he recalled his own education and career path. “Never forget the hard-working ‘C’ students,” he humorously advised the University. “They’re the ones who hire the ‘A’ students!”

Inauguration of a new era: UW-Green Bay welcomes Tom Harden It’s the first full semester on campus for Thomas K. Harden. In October, town and gown welcomed Harden with a student meetand-greet, a community reception, and the observance of a centuriesold academic tradition with an investiture ceremony at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts. The new chancellor took advantage of his inaugural address to introduce himself and his family to Green Bay. He focused on his own path to college and early years of young adulthood in Middletown, Ohio. His working-class parents, neither of whom graduated high school, encouraged his plans for higher education. With a full-time job at a hardware store he worked his way through two years of liberal arts studies at nearby Miami University. He spent summers in a steel mill as a custodian, open-hearth helper, sheet stacker and “slag notcher.” He dropped out of Miami, increased his hours at the mill and completed an apprenticeship for skilled tradespeople. The work was interesting,

the pay excellent. Newly married, though, he learned something about himself from his wife, Cathy, who had meanwhile received a degree in elementary education. “She was a great teacher, passionate about her students and her work,” Tom Harden said. “Her commitment and passion affected me and transformed my personal expectations for the rest of my life. I no longer saw myself working in the steel mill. I knew that I wanted to be a teacher.” He re-enrolled at Miami, earned his bachelor’s in industrial education, taught junior high and senior high, and got his master’s from the University of Dayton and doctorate in education from the University of Cincinnati. One of the morals of the story, Harden told students in the audience, is to trust yourself — your own unique life experiences and education — regardless of your background or current circumstance. “Education enables people to take their lives where they choose,” he concluded. Harden began his tenure at UWGreen Bay June 1, 2009. He had served previously as president of Clayton State University near Atlanta.

Welcome week snapshots: Tom Harden at the lectern; visiting with Marge Weidner, widow of the founding chancellor; unveiling his official 1965 Room portrait by alumna Pam Stoll; and a friend greets Prof. Emeritus Al Loomer, at 96 the oldest participant in the Oct. 30 inauguration.

Introducing the chancellor, via video: In his inaugural address, Thomas K. Harden shared personal stories of how a Midwest upbringing, close-knit family and blue-collar jobs enriched his life. For video highlights, www.uwgb.edu/chancellor/

Founders Association questions (frequently asked) Why does a public university need private support? UW-Green Bay gets less than 29 percent of its funding from the state of Wisconsin. It relies increasingly on tuition, gifts and grant revenue. It is more accurate to describe the University as “tax-assisted” rather than “tax-supported.”

Engaged constituents, alumni and Founders Association members are valuable advocates. Community leaders and elected officials view the donor honor roll as a relative gauge of support. U.S. News and World Report factors alumni participation rates into its much-anticipated college rankings.

Why consider an endowment when an immediate contribution has such instant impact? Endowments take the long view. The principle remains intact, and the University then awards a portion of the annual investment earnings (historically, about 4 percent of principle) to scholarships, research, programming— whatever is specified by the individual donor. Remaining proceeds and new contributions are reinvested so inflation won’t diminish the fund’s overall value. UW-Green Bay has numerous funds whose accumulated payouts now greatly exceed the original contribution.

I’m a recent graduate, just starting out…how much is $20 or $25 a year from me really going to help? UW-Green Bay has over 26,000 alumni and is seeing steady gains in their participation rate…collectively, you can make a difference.

How do I join the Founders Association? Direct an immediate contribution to the University through the Advancement Office by phone (920) 465-2074 or via the web at www.uwgb.edu/ giving/ and you’re enrolled as a member for that fiscal year. Members receive special notice of University activities, invitations to Founders Association events and the satisfaction of supporting UW-Green Bay.

Where does my gift go? Unrestricted gifts to the Founders Association support the University’s academic mission, including merit scholarships, student recruitment, international programs, faculty and staff development and academic program enhancement. December 2009

Annual Report The Campaign for UW-Green Bay

IN 2003 the University quietly launched “silent phase” fundraising efforts. So began the largest, longest and, with an initial goal of $25 million, the most comprehensive capital drive in campus history. “The Campaign for UW-Green Bay: Your Community, Your University, Your Future” surpassed its first milestone in late 2005 when private gifts reached $11 million to trigger matching state and student contributions for construction of the new Kress Events Center. Phase II emphasized academic excellence. The Campaign concluded at $30 million (see pages 2-11) in December 2009. What follows is a list of dedicated contributors to the Campaign since its inception six years ago.

Annual Report Phuture Phoenix

P hilanthropists

LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL recognition in the form of donations, awards and outside grants made the 2008-09 academic year another banner one for UW-Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phuture Phoenix program. Community supporters made possible an impressive gain in annual giving. (Listed below are contributors during the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009). Donors also established the first Phuture Phoenix scholarships, ready to serve children from the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest years who will begin enrolling as freshmen in fall 2010. (See page 6 for a listing of Phuture Phoenix-related scholarships.) In addition, high praise arrived in the form of a $125,000 grant from the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation. The grant will help replicate Phuture Phoenix at UW-Eau Claire. Officials there want to apply the Green Bay model of pairing fifth-graders from low-income school districts with college mentors as a way to boost educational aspirations.

100 years, 10,000 words, Smithsonian honors In spring, about the time Maria Hinton, class of ’79, turns 100, she and UW-Green Bay Prof. Cliff Abbott will reach the 10,000-word mark in their spoken-word version of the Oneida dictionary.

1980s

Hinton, who is UW-Green Bay’s oldest living graduate and tribal elder of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, recently received the prestigious Prism Award from the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.

Bill Seleen ’80 humanistic studies, is the director of the Green Bay area ReStore. The store sells donated construction material and products with profits going to support Habitat for Humanity.

“This award from the Smithsonian is really quite impressive, because it’s national recognition,” Abbott says of his former student. “From the moment that I met her it was clear the importance she placed upon education, family and preservation of the language.”

Bill Lindmark ’81 human adaptability, finished three strokes away from taking the title at the Wisconsin State Senior Open in September. The Shorewood Golf Course manager shot a two-day score of 71-73—144 to take second place in the over-50 event.

Hinton and Abbott have produced a searchable online database that includes written entries on more than 34,000 words in Oneida, one of North America’s most endangered languages. Because it was vital to preserve the actual pronunciation of the language, every Monday, Abbott and Hinton record sound files to archive to the internet.

Perfect game: With UW-Green Bay education, Weber is on a roll

Who says there is no such thing as perfection? For Scott Weber ‘86, it has occurred 27 times. Twenty-seven times he has rolled perfect 300 games in regional tournaments and local bowling alleys. The manager of Weber Bowling & Awards, Weber has high expectations for his business, too. In 1989, Scott and his father Nick Weber, opened a bowling retail and engraving business conveniently across from Willow Creek Lanes at 2021 Verlin Road, Green Bay. In August of 2007, they expanded to a second shop on Green Bay’s west side. Although league participation is down (by some estimates nearly 40 percent from its 1980s peak), open bowling is on the rise. And thankfully for business, so are awards and recognition. Weber has also found a niche in corporate recognition, youth recreational trophies and promotional products. Weber graduated with a degree in chemistry, a minor in Human Development and near-minors in economics and physics. “I credit my diverse education for making it easier to make financial business decisions and I also think it contributed toward being able to hire and manage employees effectively,” he said. “Bowling balls are more advanced than people think, and having classes in physics made it easy for me to understand the internal dynamics of bowling ball properties.” For more, see www.uwgb.edu and click “Alumni Rising.”

Travel pioneers dodged bobbies, loved London January will mark the 40th anniversary of the first international trip of UW-Green Bay students and faculty, when a contingent of about 90 spent a month in London. “Since we were the first group to go on an overseas trip, we were told not to screw things up, because how we acted was going to determine if UWGB would do future trips,” recalls Thomas Loomer ’71. Total cost of the month-long trip, per person: $326. All went well until the final night when a faculty-initiated sing-along on the steps of their hotel brought out bobbies and their paddy wagons. Loomer credits Dr. Richard Fontera with smoothing over a confrontation with local law enforcement.

Searching our files, we found photos from that era — including the Prof. Dean O’Brienled tour shown here — but haven’t verified any as being from that first trip. If you have photos or stories to share, or want to access more photos and Loomer recollections, visit www.uwgb.edu/inside/0912/london/.
