Keith Pamperin, a 1970 UW-Green Bay graduate will be honored Sept. 8 when a new  residence hall on campus is dedicated in his name. Pamperin, a 1970 urban analysis major, helped secure housing for more than 2,100 students at UW-Green Bay. Serving 38 years with the Green Bay/Brown County Planning Departments, he retired as Housing Administrator for the Green Bay and Brown County Housing Authorities. Pamperin has been instrumental in facilitating Housing Mortgage Revenue Bonding for the nonprofit University Village Housing Inc. (UVHI) to finance and develop UW-Green Bay’s on-campus residence halls. The new three-story building will house 32 suites and 126 students which boosts the on-campus population to about 2,100.

If you weren’t able to make an event or you want to look back at an event, don’t forget to check out the alumni photo gallery. There are new photos from the Scholarship Golf Outing (among the winners: Lindmark ’81, Hansen ’01 and Schulz ’05), Alumni CPA Luncheon, Alumni Commencement Reception and the Green Bay Cellcom Marathon.

Campers have been in the spotlight this summer.

Captured on video are:

• Grandparents’ U bringing families together on campus
• Camp Lloyd, providing learning and healing for those who suffered the loss of a loved one

If you’re curious as to what hundreds of individuals in more than a dozen separate brainstorming sessions identified as key issues for UW-Green Bay… here’s your chance to review the results. It’s no quick read; the results of this past spring’s Strategic Planning Theme gatherings are grouped according to broad categories with various related observations listed together. It does, however, give you a look at what Chancellor Thomas K. Harden and his team will review in the coming weeks in anticipation of sharpening the focus for review by governance groups this fall. Summaries are available for each of the 16 sessions at www.uwgb.edu/chancellor/strategic-planning/.
