Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that Mr. Lou LeCalsey has agreed to continue his role as Chair of the UWGB Council of Trustees. At this time of great opportunity for the university, it is my desire to shape our interaction with the Trustees in order to organize their great influence in support of our strategy. Having Lou continue in his role will lend continuity and extraordinary experience to this process.
I am deeply grateful to Lou for agreeing to continue in this role. I hope you will join me in thanking him for his service to UWGB – which extends more than 30 years.
Thank you for all your great work on behalf of our students and the Green Bay community.

Colleagues,
As we approach Thanksgiving, Georgia and I are reminded of how fortunate we are to have family and friends and to be on this great journey with all of you. We hope each of you will find time to relax and have fun with those close to you over this Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you all for your work and your commitment to this university and this great community.
Georgia and I ask you to join us in thinking about the many around us and around the world who are less fortunate than all of us and most especially, those who, because of circumstances beyond their control, are not able to live in peace. Thank you.
Gary

Dear Colleagues,
I am deeply appreciative of the support of the Faculty Senate and the University Committee for the campus reorganization. We will present the proposal to the Board of Regents at their December meeting. As we implement the new organization in the spring semester we will continue to consult closely with the shared governance groups and academic units.
This is an exciting time for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I am excited to be moving forward with you.
Thank you all.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Gary Miller e-mailed the following message to students, faculty and staff on Thursday, November 13, 2015.
The recent events at the University of Missouri and elsewhere in the American Academy remind me of the importance of our commitment to diversity and tolerance, and our obligation to provide a welcoming and supportive campus for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. I hope you will join me in reaffirming these values.
I encourage you to engage each other and our students in discussions about the important issues of our time and to advance ideas and concerns that will help us improve our programs and our campus environment. The free exchange of ideas and perspectives are founding principles of UWGB that will serve us well in this time.
Thank you and Go Phoenix!

The UW-Green Bay Office of the Chancellor e-mailed the following message from Chancellor Miller to faculty and staff on Monday, October 26, 2015.
It’s my pleasure as Chancellor to announce that this week our campus will begin its annual United Way campaign under the leadership of Rick Warpinski. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you of the unmet human needs in the Greater Green Bay area; the United Way addresses those needs in an organized, deliberate way that deserves our support.
My senior leadership team is one hundred percent committed to financially support the United Way and I hope you’ll consider joining us in that effort. We could all feel good about supporting a comprehensive approach to addressing our community’s substantial needs.
Please join us in supporting the United Way this year. So many of us are so fortunate; we need to remember those less well off at this time of year. It’s the right thing to do.

Dear Colleagues,
I want to draw your attention to a new book about Interdisciplinarity in the American academy. The book is titled Undisciplining Knowledge: Interdisciplinarity in the Twentieth Century by Harvey Graff (Johns Hopkins University Press). My leadership team and I will be reading the book this semester. I encourage you to join us. Also, a recent issue of Inside Higher Education included an interview with the author. You can find that interview by clicking here.
Thank you all for your great work.
