Spend a night watching the Green Bay Bullfrogs with fellow alumni, family and friends at Joannes Stadium in Green Bay.

The game starts at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday, August 9 and UWGB Alumni receive a special deal. The $11 package includes a Bullfrogs hat, general admission ticket and a hot dog and soda voucher ($26 value). Graduates should stop by the Alumni Tent and register for door prizes — drawing to be held at the end of the fifth inning. And we will bring the bug spray — just in case!

Order your tickets online at www.frogsgroups.com and enter the password ‘uwgbalumni’ or mail in this form  to receive your special offer. ($1.50 convenience charge applies to tickets purchased online.)

See you there!

Despite rain and cool temperatures, more than 100 golf diehards and friends of UW-Green Bay took to the Royal Scot Golf Course, Friday, June 10, for the 31st Annual Alumni Scholarship Golf Outing. Check out the winners.

It was a record year for Grandparents’ U — where grandparents and grandchildren come to the UW-Green Bay for multi-generational fun. This year a number of alumni returned, as well.

Thanks to a generous donation from Schwabe, parent company of Enzymatic Therapy and employer of numerous UW-Green Bay alumni (some are pictured above), UW-Green Bay got its pick of rotary evaporation equipment, an extensive glassware selection and more. The equipment, which would be worth an estimated $15,000 to $20,000 if purchased new, was donated and appreciated. Click here to see a video, photos and to read more.
