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.

UWGB in One Word
When you hear University of Wisconsin – Green Bay, what word comes to mind? On tours and in presentations, we hear clever phrases of distinction like the four T’s (trees, tunnels, toilets, and teachers) and complicated terms of academia like interdisciplinary. While those words all have merit and certainly contribute to the whole of GB, when we’re not trying to sell ourselves, what words accurately describe what it means to actually live and thrive here? It’s a challenge to sum up such a large part of your life in a single word, but that is the challenge I posed to several UWGB students this week. Continue reading UWGB in One Word
The legend of the shoe tree
When will you embark on the tradition, and what will your parting message be?
Each year seniors commemorate their graduation by knotting the laces of a worn pair of sneakers and lofting them high into the branches of a campus landmark, the Shoe Tree. The origins of this custom remain a mystery. No one knows who started it but everyone has a tale to tell about it. Continue reading The legend of the shoe tree
How did we become the Phoenix?
From “Bay Badger” to “Fighting Phoenix”
1970 – As UW-Green Bay prepared to graduate its first class of seniors and conclude its first year of intercollegiate competition, it was decided to cut the cord with the flagship parent campus in Madison and adopt our own emblem. UW-Green Bay decided to send the water-skiing version of Bucky Badger on a permanent vacation. Continue reading How did we become the Phoenix?

Life’s A Beach!
When I was in YOUR spot last year discussing colleges with my peers, one girl I talked to had one unique requirement- wherever she went, she wanted to be able walk to the beach. Looking at fun, warm places like California and Florida, she of course didn’t want to go THAT far from home. Little did she (or I, at the time) know that UW-Green Bay would have been a place of interest. Continue reading Life’s A Beach!
