With social distancing as our current reality, we’re bummed that we can’t meet you face-to-face.
While you can’t be here with us, we’ll bring the campus to you!
Making History
Meet Scott Barrell: a former student whose research led to a bow and arrow showdown in the campus quad. Scott isn’t your average college student; he’s a bright and hardworking individual who wanted to be challenged, so he tackled ground-breaking research and found someone on campus to help him do it. That ‘someone’ was Greg Aldrete, a highly regarded and well-decorated History and Humanistic Studies professor here at UW-Green Bay.
#EachForEqual: Celebrating International Women’s Day at UW-Green Bay
Although it’s a relatively new holiday, International Women’s Day is a transformational celebration of all the achievements and strengths that women everywhere bring to their societies. The day also serves as a soapbox for the equality movement, whether in pay or in opportunity. Celebrities such as Megan Rapinoe or Emma Watson have used their large platform to fight the inequalities that women face, but not all of the work can be done from a high level. Someone has to be the boots on the ground.
UW-Green Bay is proud to hold numerous women among our most distinguished contributors to the campus community – from students and alumna, all the way up to the current chancellor. To celebrate International Women’s Day this year, we’d like to shine a spotlight on three Phoenix that are doing their part to create equality of the sexes and empower the next generation of female leaders.

A month before I left for college I actually regretted making the decision to go. All of my sisters commuted to college, so for me to be the first one to move out was a crazy concept for us to wrap our heads around. My house was always loud and boisterous but most of that was because I was living in it. Yes, I sang every day at the top of my lungs and yes I was the loudest storyteller, so it was difficult to imagine any form of quiet in our house after I left. It was crazy how a decision I felt so certain about could become such a gray area in a matter of a few months. And really all I needed was this summer to have that effect.

The “Why” Behind Application Material Requirements
As we move into another exciting fall of wonderful students and exciting college applications, I wanted to share a little background on UW-Green Bay’s requirements for official application materials.

Nursing at UW-Green Bay
UW-Green Bay has very strong partnerships to bring a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree to students looking to work in the nursing field.

If you have a student interested in Nursing please connect them with us. Here is a snapshot of our different pathways.

Math Problems
“I’m just bad a math.”
“I’m not going into a STEM major, why do I need all of this math?
“I’m not going to use Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus etc….in real life.”
My high school counselor sat me down my junior year for selecting my senior year classes and informed me that even though I had taken the mandatory three years of college-prep math (Algebra, Geometry, and Advanced Algebra- actually I took Algebra 1 twice, but that’s a story for another time) it was in my best interest to take Pre-Calculus my senior year. As you can imagine, I was likely giving him the look your math-challenged students give you that reads: “Seriously?” He went on to say things that, in hindsight, rang very true:
