H.J. “Bud” Harris on ‘Eco U’ and sustainability
| December 17, 2010
“In 1970, UWGB’s whole mission was billed as an environmental institution… One of the things that then happened was that we changed people’s ideas about the benefits of a restored Fox River and bay… That basic foundation has proved to be the wave of the future.

“This University is putting it front and center and helping businesses understand the need to be environmentally sensitive… It’s core to the University’s principles. You can see it in the faculty and also the students coming out of here who are ready to go to work. They’re job ready.” — Dan Madigan, president, FEECO International

Then we’ve got students who are part of the sustainable movement. From faculty to students, there’s interest the whole way.” — Anthony Rieth ’10, master’s student

Rich Spangenberg on the Phoenix
| February 12, 2010
“I like the Phoenix as the UW-Green Bay mascot. I think it fits. In the fall of the year, when the students come back the campus is rejuvenated. With each athletics team, each year the seniors leave and the new freshmen come in, so the team is reborn.” -Rich Spangenberg, Class of 1971
Christopher Sampson on the Phoenix
| February 12, 2010
“I think it’s interesting that 40 years ago we were the first school in the country to choose the Phoenix as a nickname. The singular mascot — only one phoenix lives at a time, according to mythology — was also unusual, but the idea was to symbolize the closeness of the team, university and community. [...]
Matt Hallam on H1N1 Flu
