Update your alumni profile, and take a short readership survey at www.uwgb.edu/earth. By taking the survey, you can receive a double alumni discount (20%) and qualify for a drawing for a $50 gift card to the Phoenix Bookstore. The survey will help the Alumni Association get a feel for electronic vs. print delivery of mailings, (greening the Earth and all that) and help the Association improve its decision-making with regards to benefits, news and communication that is important to you. The survey will be open until Dec. 15.

Remember the long walk between Student Services and the Garden Café (for those of you that go way back, we’re referring to Macaroni Hall)?

Well, the hallway is dressed up a bit with nostalgic images.

UW-Green Bay wants to know how UW-Green Bay changed your life in some significant way (faculty research or encouragement, especially kind or attentive staff member, class that helped you on your career path?). If you have a story, e-mail Director of Admissions, Pam Harvey-Jacobs, harveyp@uwgb.edu.

Each year, Career Services conducts a follow-up survey, focusing on the post-graduate status of the previous year’s December, May and August bachelor’s degree candidates. Final results are posted on the Career Services website, with information such as what companies hired, where classmates went to graduate school or what country they are now working in. Click here to see where the graduates are now.

UW-Green Bay lost a longtime friend and coach, Butch Reimer, after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Tributes to Reimer by friends and his former athletes (he coached both Nordic skiing and softball), can be found at www.uwgb.edu/retiree/memoriam/butch-reimer.htm.
