The Teaching Press

UW-Green Bay's student-managed publisher and press

Tag: Eco-U

The Teaching Press had 21 students working as interns and staff in Fall 2023. We’re featuring their work in small batches—the same  way we print books at the Press!

This group of interns operated our machines and print our books—and Fall 2023 was challenging! Managers Jair Zeuske and Ethan Craft taught our team how to print, bind, and trim two of our titles this semester. Their favorite book to print is Wandering Toft Point: A Nature Journal.  See how our team crafted our Lower Fox River PCB Clean Up book with its fold-in, fold-out timeline and QR codes on every page, in a behind-the-scenes report from our team. They also engaged in community outreach with Sullivan Elementary School’s YMCA Afterschool program, and copyedited  A Portrait of Grief and Courage: Hmong Oral Histories and Folktales.

 

Teaching Press Folds into Action with Book Launch on October 18

Neuschafer’s book launches October 18.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Lower Fox River PCB Cleanup Timeline, a new book by Greg Neuschafer, covers one of the most ambitious environmental stability projects in the US to date: the nearly two decades of the removal of contamination in Green Bay’s Fox River.

Published by The Teaching Press of UW-Green Bay, the book will be launched on October 18th 2023, at 4:30 pm in Board Room 131 of the Brown County STEM Innovation Center and via Zoom. The event is free and open to the public. RSVP here.

Neuschafer and book designer Samantha Vondrum test the book’s fold-out pages.

Captain Greg Neuschafer, retired US Navy Oceanographer and University Wisconsin-Green Bay Distinguished Alumni, graduated from Wisconsin Green-Bay in 1973 and held a 36-year career creating navigation charts in the Caribbean before returning to Green Bay to record the events of Fox River’s cleaning process.

Mimi and Rupert Books: Our New Imprint Takes Wing

The signs of spring have arrived at UWGB.  On our Green Bay campus, Peregrine falcons nest atop the David A Cofrin Library.  One pair of falcons began nesting there in 2017 to lay eggs and teach their fledglings to fly. This first falcon couple was named “Mimi” and “Rupert,” and their descendants have now brought three new fledglings into the world.

Through the falcon cam , UW-Green Bay students, staff, and nature lovers all over the planet can enjoy and encourage the growth of this delicate species.  (You can even help name the new chicks each year.)

An imprint is a division of publishing dedicated to specific projects. Mimi  & Rupert Books interlace art and words, voice and image, into finely crafted, collaborative and inspiring stories.  Continue reading
