Much of the efforts for sorting, filing, and assisting with this day to day change and the projects it brings about are our fantastic student employees/interns!

- What do you want to be when you “grow up”?
I truly love planning events and working with people to put them together. If I get to write news releases and stories along the way, I’m fine with that. - Three words that describe you.
Enthusiastic, Busy, Smiley - Personal interests.
I’m a HUGE fan of The Walking Dead and The Golden Girls, I love to read and play piano, and Zumba and walking are my favorite ways to stay in shape. - Random facts/interests.
In September 2014, I competed for the title of Miss Wisconsin 2015. I didn’t get too far, but I met some really charismatic people. - Are you messy or organized?
My homework, notes, desk, and office spaces are usually organized. My bedroom and thoughts? They tend to be more on the messier side. - Best vacation you’ve been to?
I went to New Orleans for a band trip my senior year of high school. I’m headed to Italy (my first time out of the U.S.!) this May. - Do you have a favorite quote?
“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson - Favorite food?
I’m a big fan of brats, pineapple, and trail mix (but not together).

Jamie Lancelle
Human Resources Intern – 2015 Spring Semester
Major in Business Administration with Human Resource emphasis
Minor in Human Development
- Where is your home town?
I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, but currently reside in Howard, Wisconsin. - What are you hoping to do post-graduation (career, more school, etc.)?
After graduation, my career goal is to work in a Human Resources department. My plan is to take the exam to obtain my HR certification as well. As far as more schooling goes, I have entertained the idea of going for my master’s degree, however, I think at this point that will be something I possibly tackle further down the road. - Three words that describe you.
Hardworking, Honest, Caring - Do you have a favorite quote?
While this could be a quote, I view it as more of a motto. Either way, it is certainly something that I have lived by…NEVER GIVE UP! There are times in my life where the easiest thing would have been to give up, but I have always been determined to keep pushing through the challenges. - What do you like to do in your spare time?
When I have spare time, most of it is spent having fun and making memories with my children. From taking a walk to watching a movie, playing rounds of laser tag, going on a road trip, or watching them play sports, they keep life interesting and very busy. There is usually never a dull moment! - What’s on your bucket list?
A personal bucket list item, which I will finally be able to cross off in December 2015, is to graduate from college! A family bucket list item is to travel with my children and see all of the states. I have two boys who love sports, so it is a goal of ours to visit, or at least take a picture by the sports stadiums in each state.

Employee Spotlight: Jan Snyder
EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
Here at UW-Green Bay we are familiar with the mission of providing interdisciplinary, problem-focused educational experiences that prepare students to think critically and address complex issues in the world. What happens after they gain all that wonderful knowledge? The day they’ve all waited for: COMMENCEMENT (a.k.a. graduation day)! Behind this glorious day and all the preparation that it entails is the University Services Program Associate within the Office of the Provost, Jan Snyder.
Jan has the wonderful position of planning commencement and coordinating all the activities that go along with it. In addition to this, Jan serves as the University Staff Committee chair and has served on numerous other campus committees. Jan has been an employee at UW-GB for over 20 years, and has over 35 total years in office and administrative support. She has been employed in the departments of Financial Aid, Dean of Students, Education, Humanities, and many more.
When asked to tell us about herself, Jan explained that:
“I grew up in southwest Iowa, the middle of 5 children. I was a serious student, but also active in sports and music. I played softball from the time I was 9 until I was 26, played volleyball from junior high until I was 40, played tennis (singles), and liked to run (short distances). I played the clarinet, oboe, and string bass in junior high and high school. I was active in band, orchestra, jazz band, and was a majorette during football season. I twirled baton for about 10 years, including a fire baton at football games and the school talent show. After we started a family, I was very active at our church for many years, helping with the AWANA kids program, teaching Sunday school and children’s church, directing the crafts program for vacation Bible school, and being known as the ‘snack lady’ for the middle and high school youth program.”
Jan is described as organized, driven and sensitive. Her interests when not planning for campus ceremonies include family, walking, exercising, flower and plant gardening, cross country skiing, and traveling.
April Lunch n’ Learn and Newsletter
View the April Newsletter!
The UW-Green Bay Wellness Committee Presents:
What: Wellness Lunch and Learn
“Why You Should Hug a Tree”
When: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 **Date & Location Updated**
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Where: 1965 Room, University Union
Protecting the environment is an important part of environmental wellness because it ensures access to clean water and air, but access to the natural environment also provides less tangible health benefits. A growing body of scientific research is showing that interacting with nature has positive and long-lasting health benefits including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, and improvements in mental health. Vicki Medland from The Cofrin Center for Biodiversity will discuss some of the new research on wellness and environment and talk about some of the best places to enjoy the outdoors on our UW—Green Bay natural areas.
Vicki Medland is the Associate Director of the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity where she works with UWGB students, faculty and staff, and community members on biodiversity related projects and teaches courses in environmental science. She has a PhD. in Ecology from the University of Georgia and is on the Board of Directors for the Ridges Sanctuary in Door County.
Student Employment Information
It’s the time of year to think about the student employees you plan to rehire for Summer 2015 and/or Academic Year 2015-2016. Primary supervisors will receive e-mails with spreadsheet attachments containing a list of all active student employees in late April. Through this process you will be able to indicate the terms of rehire (summer only, summer and academic year, academic year only), termination, and indicate changes in funding, hourly rates, and approvers. A due date will also be indicated in the email and spreadsheets not received by the due date may result in termination of student appointments. Please look for this email in late April.
Graduating seniors and those not returning for the fall semester may only work through MAY 15, 2015. This applies to all student employees, work study or regular.
