Dear UW-Green Bay Faculty and Staff,
It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of two members of the UW-Green Bay family. Recently, John Kuhlmann, Librarian for the Marinette Campus, and Sarah Schuetze, Assistant Professor of English and Humanities on the Green Bay campus, passed away. This is a great loss to our university community and to their respective fields. Our students have lost respected mentors and we have lost not just colleagues, but friends.
Please support each other as we grieve. In addition to providing support for our students, I urge anyone on our faculty and staff who needs support to reach out in the following ways:
- The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Employee Assistance Program is a free, confidential service which can provide grief support to you during this time. You have access to confidential, completely private, 24-hour, 7-days-a-week counseling and online services through the Kepro. You may contact Kepro by calling (833) 539-7285 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or visiting Kepro’s website: sowi.mylifeexpert.com. (Username: SOWI). You will need to create an account to access the EAP resources online.
- Please also feel free to contact Human Resources at (920) 465-2390 or hr@uwgb.edu if you would like additional information or have any questions about the Employee Assistance Program.
Thank you for taking care of each other and our students during this difficult time.
With warmth and a heavy heart,
Mike
