Good afternoon!
Students, alumni and staff are working hard to create a homecoming tradition on campus and I hope you’ll participate. Next week, Wednesday, February 22, marks the start of Spirit Week when students have fun events and activities set up for everyone. Themed dress up days are as follows:
Wednesday: Packers Pride Day (Wear Packers gear and get 25% off UWGB spirit wear at The Phoenix Bookstore) Thursday: Go Green, wear it too! (Free GB Bandana with $10 purchase at The Phoenix Bookstore) and check out Phoenix Nite in the Phoenix Club at 7:30 p.m. There’s free pizza! Friday: Show your Phoenix Pride! (Sing, hum, or display the words to our fight song for 20% off UWGB spirit wear at The Phoenix Bookstore) and then come out for Rock the Resch!
The culminating event of the week is Rock the Resch, which is completely FREE for students. Rock the Resch starts with a tailgate party and ends with us cheering on the Green Bay men’s basketball team to a win! Attached is more information about Rock the Resch. You need to register at https://rockthereschstudent17.eventbrite.com by Thursday, February 23 to attend.
I’m excited about this important initiative to build school spirit. Check out this video of Coach Darner and me showing just how excited we both are!
There are already over 450 people registered for Rock the Resch and I hope to see you there.
UW-Green Bay Chancellor Gary Miller e-mailed the following message to the campus community on Wednesday, February 8, 2017.
It is my pleasure to welcome you back to the beginning of the 2017 Spring Semester. I hope you have found time in the past month to rest and rejuvenate. As you know, UW-Green Bay is committed to maintaining a campus community that ensures each student, faculty and staff member can work and learn together in a place that is free of discrimination including harassment and sexual violence. Part of our campus’s vision provides for an environment that promotes personal and professional growth. Harassment in any form violates the dignity of an individual and threatens the integrity of this great University.
Eliminating and preventing harassment requires an ongoing, demonstrated commitment from all community members. Therefore, UW-Green Bay is launching new online training for all faculty, staff and students designed to prevent these behaviors and remind us about the importance of this topic. Faculty and staff will complete a course titled “Intersections: Preventing Harassment and Sexual Violence” which will be delivered to provide you skills to identify and prevent, guide conduct, and educate on the importance of reporting any and all abusive conduct. Included in this training is information on all forms of discrimination based upon protected characteristics along with information on UW-Green Bay’s policies and procedures.
In the next week, you will receive an e-mail from “University of Wisconsin- Green Bay” with the subject line “UW-Green Bay Harassment and Title IX Training.” The e-mail will include the information necessary to complete the training.
Training will take approximately one-hour and is self-paced, allowing you to come and go as you please until course completion. All faculty and staff must complete training by Friday, March 31, 2017. Additional courses on FERPA, Executive Order 54, and Ethics will be rolled out in fall 2017.
Please contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2846 with any questions and/or to request a reasonable accommodation. Thank you for your commitment to providing an environment free of harassment and sexual violence.
UW-Green Bay Chancellor Gary Miller e-mailed the following message to faculty and staff on Friday, January 20, 2016.
Greetings!
Each and every time students, parents, visitors, board members or donors attend an event at UW-Green Bay, they should feel special and walk away with a sense of Phoenix pride. We want all events at UW-Green Bay to be special and memorable.
In the coming months, personnel from the Office of the Chancellor will be working diligently to align University events with campus priorities to best honor and thank the campus community. The list includes some changes to long-standing University events.
Our annual Faculty and Staff Cookout in May 2017 will now be the event where we will honor:
Years of Service
New UW-Green Bay Retirees
Employment Anniversaries
Faculty and Staff Emeriti
We believe this gives the campus community and close friends and family the best opportunity to celebrate these important milestones together.
In August of 2017, during Fall Convocation, we will continue to:
Welcome New Employees
Honor Named Professorships
Announce Founders Awards
Honor Endowed Chairs
Georgia and I look forward to celebrating these honors and milestones with all of you. Watch the Log for additional details as these events draw near.
UW-Green Bay Chancellor Gary Miller e-mailed the following message to faculty and staff on Wednesday, December 14, 2016.
As the University heads into the frenzy of finals and the hectic days leading up to winter break, I want to share my gratitude for your many contributions during the Fall 2016 semester. Your service to our students is inspiring, and together we are transforming lives while developing the great minds and great leaders of tomorrow. On Saturday, we will confer degrees upon more than 400 students who will go forward and make the world a better place. It is indeed a time for celebration.
In the weeks ahead, I hope you will find time to rest. Rejuvenate. And treasure the things that matter most: family, friends and freedom. If you are traveling this holiday season, please do so safely. We need you.
It’s been said that the holiday season brings out the kid in all of us. In that spirit, we’ve conjured up a little elfin fun with the help of one of our favorite mischief makers, Phlash on a Shelf. You can check it out here: Phlash on the Shelf
