UW-Green Bay will achieve a new record when more than 900 students join the ranks of alumni after Commencement on Saturday, May 12 in the Kress Events Center on campus. This is our largest graduating class to date! Stop by to congratulate these new alums at the Grad Reception at Titletown Brewing Co. (200 Dousman Street, Green Bay) between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. that night. Event includes hors d’oeuvres and door prizes.

Mark your calendars for UW-Green Bay Prof. Brian Sutton’s original musical comedy Searching for Romeo. The play re-imagines the story of Romeo and Juliet from the perspective of the story’s “losers.” Being the leads in a romantic comedy, Rosaline and Paris achieve something that eludes Romeo and Juliet: a happy ending.

Performances will be Thursday, July 12 through Saturday, July 14 in the Jean Weidner Theatre. Check out Sutton’s Searching for Romeo Blog or page 15 of Inside magazine, here.
