This week, Mike took some time to learn more about what UW-Green Bay’s future-defining students were preparing for as the end of the semester approaches. He didn’t do so well…but thankfully our students are definitely up for the challenge! Watch below…

Expressing and sharing gratitude can be powerful…both for the person saying ‘thank you’ and for those receiving. In this week’s Minute, Mike shares his gratitude for everyone who is responsible for helping UW-Green Bay accomplish its mission. Thank you. Please share the joy and express your gratitude this week!

Building community. Just this past week highlighted a number of ways that we are building community internally and within the region – through shows at The Weidner, access to the beautifully groomed cross country trails, to the women’s basketball game at the Kress Center. This week’s Minute with Mike is a ‘thank you’ to everyone who is building this community…both inside and out.

Helping every student who comes through the doors at UW-Green Bay is at the core of how we Empower Success for students. In this week’s Minute, we hear Mike’s thoughts on the amount of work that goes into ensuring that our students are successful in their career and their life. More importantly, that students then share how higher ed has helped them rise.

The idea of providing open access, allowing all students who want to learn to be admitted to UW-Green Bay, has been a success for us. In this week’s Minute, Mike shares that this is incredibly important as we continue to meet students where they are at, and help them understand that there is value for EVERY student at UW-Green Bay. Our ability to provide access to all who want to improve their educational level, helps our students and our region rise!

Our Core Values are the topic of this week’s Minute with Mike. Specifically, Core Value #1 “Advance Fearlessly.” Mike shares that as we continue to meet our mission, we must use the past to inform us as we honor our courageous mission and serve our students and the region. Please listen to his full message, below.

Welcome back – together we rise!

The 2024 Winter Commencement is upon us! In this week’s Minute, Mike shares his congratulations and gratitude for the more than 470 graduates who will ‘cross the stage’ this weekend and the faculty, staff, families and friends who helped make it happen. Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

It’s a busy time in the semester, and with the holidays approaching, some students may need extra care and attention. In this week’s Minute, Mike speaks with a few students on how they take care of themselves to ensure their mental and physical health stays strong.
