Message from the Chancellor

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!

United Way

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.
