Open Forums Scheduled at Branch Campuses

The University of Wisconsin System has embarked on a complete redesign of its current classification and compensation structure. The goal of the Title and Total Compensation Project is to modernize the existing title and compensation programs in an effort to attract and retain the best talent for the System.

The Office of Human Resources and Workforce Diversity will be holding open forums at each of the branch campuses related to the Title & Total Compensation Project, which will include up-to-date information about the proposed job framework, standard job descriptions, and an upcoming benefits preference survey. These open forums will also include HR-related information and transitional-year updates, as well as provide a forum for employee questions.

The open forums will take place on:

  • Monday, November 26th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. at the Sheboygan Campus (Room 2114)
  • Thursday, November 29th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. at the Marinette Campus (Room M-117)
  • Friday, November 30th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. at the Manitowoc Campus (Room F166)

Human Resources staff will also be available for an hour before and after each presentation to talk with campus faculty and staff members regarding any individual Human Resources or Payroll & Benefits questions.

Targeted communication with additional details will be distributed via e-mail to branch campus employees early next week.

No need to RSVP, just mark your calendar to attend!  Please contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2390 if you have any questions.

Mushroom Crab Appetizer

IngredientsMushroomCrabApp

  • 8 oz. fresh mushrooms
  • 8 oz. lump crabmeat
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup minced onions
  • 1 tbsp. skim milk
  • 4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese (Neuchâtel), softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Brush mushrooms to remove any soil that may be clinging to them. Rinse under cool water and drain. Trim stems and chop finely.
  2. Rinse crabmeat and pick over to make sure there are no shells or cartilage.
  3. Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add mushrooms and onions. Cook until mushrooms give up moisture and onions are translucent.
  4. Add milk and cream cheese and stir until creamy.
  5. Add crabmeat. Stir gently to keep lumps.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
  7. Spoon into mini phyllo cups—green spinach ones look especially pretty with the white crab—and serve.
