UWGB prepares for record-setting freshman class
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is anticipating a record-setting freshman class when the fall 2009 semester begins Thursday, Sept. 3.
Preliminary numbers show the 2009-10 freshman class has 1,056 students enrolled, 21 more than the previous record set in 1998, and 36 more than last year’s freshman class.

We have a question!
The question:
“During the winter break from Dec 22-Jan 25, does UW-GB offer interim classes or other types of opportunities for freshman and allow them to stay on-campus?”
– via email
The answer:
“No semester break interim classes this year… but students are permitted to stay in their rooms and apartments over the break period.”
– Glenn Gray, Director of Residence Life
UPDATE:
“…the university is currently exploring the option of adding winter break/interim courses. If this happens, it may take a year to get everything in place.”
– Brenda Amenson-Hill, Interim Dean of Students
