Notes from 2420 Nicolet…Take it from a returning son:There’s something special hereGreetings from the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay!It is a privilege and honor to serve as your interim chancellor, and to return to my roots.I took my first college classes at the old two-year center on Baird Street. A few years later, whenI was a newly minted Ph.D. and UW-Green Bay a brand-new university, this institution gave me my firstjob as an assistant professor of business.In the decades since, I’ve held faculty or administrative positions in Green Bay, Oshkosh and Madison,and spent time in communities around the state. I’ve also worked as an economic developmentconsultant and witnessed various models applied to regional collaboration, education and economicgrowth.Clearly, Green Bay has it right. I say that because of the level of commitment here, from friendsthroughout the region, from the Alumni and Founders Association boards, the Council of Trustees,elected officials, our retired employees, current students, faculty and staff. I have seen few universitiesso tightly connected with their communities and regions.The people of the New North region have a stake in the success of their University and its futuregrowth. That’s why I am convinced that not only will UW-Green Bay move forward, it will do so at apace that will be the envy of others. This institution has an exceptionally bright future.To community and campus, I say “thank you” for your warm reception. To alumni and friends far andwide, feel free to contact me by e-mail at wardd@uwgb.edu or by phone at (920) 465-2207. Mythanks to each and every one of you for all you do for our University and its efforts to connect learningto life.Inside UW-Green BayNovember 2008Volume 35, No. 1EditorChris SampsonEditorial StaffChris SampsonSue BodillyMike HeineDesignerYvonne SplanPhotographerEric Miller21216FEATURESA civics lessonStudent leaders graduate to politics,community action‘ U ’–Tu b eCampus videos hit markAnnual Report• Donor honor rolls• New endowed scholarshipsinclude Liebs, Kress (right)• The Campaign for UW-Green Bay71225David WardInterim ChancellorContributingPhotographersJenna NeumannMatt Robinson•DEPARTMENTSDavid J.

Knapp was president of the combinedstudent associations from the two-year UW centers in Green Bay, Manitowoc,Marinette and Menasha. The following year, in fall 1968, he and a few dozenothers would be the first to take junior-senior level courses at the Deckner campus.The new buildings opened in fall 1969.

We’reUW-Green Bay…and we approvethis messageThe message is this: In civic service,political leadership andneighborhood involvement, UW-Green Bay graduates are makinga difference.This issue of the magazine turnsthe spotlight on just a few ofthose individuals. We touch basewith 40 years of student leadersand find that many are communityleaders, still today. We meetup with grads who weren’t activein politics and policy as students,but now are, holding electedoffice or positions in local orstate government.It’s a source of pride for many,especially Jerry Olson. The longtimedean of students says creditis due students with strong workethics and an academic plan thatemphasizes problem solving andworking together.“When you look at what’s happeningin our nation, and theworld… all of the problems…I feel as though I could take across-section of our student leadershipover the years, take themand put them in a room, close thedoor, and they’d work it out. I feelconfident they could address anyproblem put before them. Thereare so many outstanding people.”Enjoy this Inside.The First,and Still, President‘The institution ended up making a lotof good decisions as a result’Scott Knapp remembers the conversation thatstarted him thinking about a life in higher education.It was the close of the 1960s. He was in hisyoung 20s and about to stop out of college forduty as a military intelligence agent. He met upwith a favorite UW-Green Bay mentor, Prof. WilliamKuepper.They knew each other well. Kuepper had beeninterim dean in charge of the two-year GreenBay center as it ramped up to become a fouryearuniversity. Knapp was president of studentgovernment. He and his fellow leaders enjoyeda fair amount of influence thanks to the wayUWGB enlisted students in shaping its innovativeapproach.The two exchanged best wishes. Kuepperencouraged Knapp to return to finish his degreewhen his three-year tour was up, and also put ina plug for an eventual academic career. What’smore, he even predicted it.“Once you’ve tasted blood,” Kuepper said, inmock seriousness, “you’ll be back for more.”Even then it was an old joke, an inside crack onthe supposed low-stakes nature of campus politics.Almost 40 years later, though, both menrecall the exchange, and smile that it provedaccurate.Knapp returned to finish his degree and he didenter higher education. Today he is president ofCentral Maine Community College.He continues to admire the governance modelset by Kuepper and, particularly, FoundingChancellor Edward Weidner.“Weidner committed to student input. He toldus, ‘I’m going to always ask you what you think.And if I ever forget, call me up and tell me,’”Knapp says. “The institution ended up makinga lot of good decisions as a result.”Short-staffed, operating out of makeshiftoffices and scrambling to prepare for the fall1969 opening of the Shorewood campus, theUniversity delegated plenty of work to studentslike Knapp. He became an aide to the studentaffairs director, Donald Makuen, and helpedwrite and edit early promotional material.In the classroom, Knapp wasenergized, and in his favoritesubject of political sciencehe “lucked into somethingspecial.” (Since it wasWeidner’s own field, Knappsuggests today, top talentand resources just naturallyfollowed.) He remembersRichard Fontera, the institution’sfirst faculty hire, andAl Swinerton as standouts.Knapp received his bachelor’s in Urban andRegional Analysis in 1974.Not too many months later his old boss Makuen,since moved on, gave him a call. “Would youstill be interested in college administration?” heasked, inviting Knapp to apply for a staff positionat a community college in Pennsylvania.Knapp got the job, and others to follow. Heearned a master’s, and then a doctorate fromTemple University in higher education administration.His first presidency was at the two-yearcampus in Terra Haute, Indiana. He acceptedthe position with Central Maine 11 years ago.He still remembers his roots in student involvement.“It’s a little bit more difficult at a communitycollege because by the time they get up andrunning, involved and informed, their two yearsare over,” Knapp says. “As president, I take itpretty seriously, though. And we do make betterdecisions.”Kuepper, who wasn’t all that much older thanKnapp at the time he offered his counsel, wenton to a long academic career that includedservice as UW-Green Bay’s vice chancellor foracademic affairs. Now retired in Colorado, hesays he’s not surprised by Knapp’s success.“Scott was a very talented individual,” he says,“and for a fledgling institution our student governmentwas quite remarkable. There is alsosomething to be said for taking advantage ofwhat was a unique opportunity, for all of us, ofbeing in on the ground floor of a brand-newinstitution making decisions and doing thingswith curriculum and governance and day-to-dayoperations. It was a tremendous experience.”“When you walk the UWGB campus now,especially those first buildings in the EnvironmentalSciences complex, it’s impossiblenot to remember the early days andbe proud to have been there.”– Scott Knapp, who spoke on behalf ofstudents at the November 1967 groundbreaking(top).

Dave Hansen’89, Political Science and Public andEnvironmental Administration1989-90Timothy KaliesDe Forest, Wis.’90, Public and EnvironmentalAdministrationThe Mobilizer‘Volunteers ‘vote’ every dayabout the community they want to live in’When Sue Premo came to UW-Green Bay as acollege freshman, she found people willing tolisten, and in the process, she also found herown voice. It was the perfect transition into acareer in which she speaks on behalf of thousandsof volunteers.Premo is the community relations director forthe Volunteer Center of Brown County. She isresponsible for special events that promote volunteerismand garner greater awareness of, andfinancial support for, the Volunteer Center.As elections draw near she reflects on her currentcareer and the fact she once held electedoffice herself (SGA president,1986).“Especially in this political season, it occurs tome that volunteering is the ultimate exercisein democracy,” Premo says. “From the peopledelivering meals, to community stewards erectingbuildings, volunteers ‘vote’ every day aboutthe kind of community they want to live in.“It’s exciting to be a part of that. I am continuallyamazed and honored to be part of the powerfulthings that volunteers do for our community.”Premo wasn’t always so self-assured, but herUniversity experience helped reassure her thather opinion mattered.“I remember thinking every once in a while,‘Hey, I’m just a girl from small-town (Adams-Friendship) Wisconsin. What are these professorsand other smart people doing listening tome?’ In the end, my experience at UW-GreenBay and student government taught me thateveryone has a voice, and everyone can makea difference.”As a first-generation college student, Premosays she found UW-Green Bay to be “exciting,challenging, and a great environment for learning.”A rare campus attack involving her roommateshowed Premo just how much campus personnelcared. The chancellor immediately arrangedfor a group of students to participate in a ‘securitywalk’ to make sure areas of concern wereaddressed.“I was really impressed with how seriously Dr.Weidner considered our suggestions, and manyof them were enacted,” she recalls. “Later, whenI became involved in Housing Council and StudentSenate, I continued to be impressed thatthe faculty and administration listened to studentsand we were often able to come to agreement.”Premo encourages all her fellow graduatesof UW-Green Bay to get involved. Forthose living in Brown County, she’s got agreat place to start: www.volunteergb.org.Volunteer opportunities throughout thestate and country can be accessed atwww.1-800-VOLUNTEER.The Capitol Insiders‘Never shy away from an opportunity —you never know where it will lead’A decade ago Jamie Kuhn ’95 and Tim Casper ’95 werea formidable one-two punch as president and vicepresidentatop the Student Government Association atUW-Green Bay.They and their SGA colleagues went separate waysafter graduation, of course, but years later Kuhn andCasper happened to find public service careers in thesame state, city and building. Their offices are now justa few floors apart, beneath the white granite dome ofthe Wisconsin State Capitol.Kuhn is top aide to State Sen. Mark Miller, Monona.Casper is policy director for Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle.“The most important thing I took away from UW-GreenBay was the ability to prepare and deliver concise,effective oral presentations,” Kasper says. “The classeswere small enough that there were numerous opportunitiesto stand in front of your classmates and providean overview of your report, or lead discussion.”Nowadays, the audiences for his briefings are often thegovernor and cabinet officials. Kasper manages developmentof Doyle’s major policy and budget initiatives.His assignments have ranged from the Grow Wisconsinjob creation and economic development plan, to BadgerCarePlus extending health care access, to CleanEnergy Wisconsin, a plan promoting renewable energyand fuel production. Kasper also helps communicatethese initiatives to the public.Kuhn’s position, too, requires flexibility. Because Sen.Miller is co-chair of the influential, budget-writing JointFinance Committee, and chair of the environmentalcommittee, his staff addresses policy issues across stategovernment. If that weren’t enough, Kuhn, a parentto three children, field supervises UW-Madison gradstudents in social policy, and finds time to contributepolitical commentary to “Here and Now” on publictelevision.“The one thing I’d tell UW-Green Bay students today,”Kuhn says, “is never shy away from an opportunity. Younever know where it will lead.”For more on Kuhn and Kasper, see Inside online.“If it weren’t for myexperience at UW-GreenBay, I wouldn’t be whereI am today. Being involvedin student government,with the education I got inthe classroom, gave me thetools to become an effective problem solverand to understand the political process.”Jay Wadd ’89Chief of Staff, State Sen.

But turning the corner thismorning, he fielded a sunny greeting from two studentsparked outside his office, in sunglasses and Hawaiiangarb, reclining in beach chairs.SGA officers Karl Boehler ’84 and Steve Duchrow ’84looked ready to catch a wave, and they were — a wave ofwadded, crumpled paper about to spill out of the Dean of StudentsOffice.“From floor to ceiling, side to side, back to front, it was just stuffedwith paper and newspapers,” recalls Olson, laughing.“National Lampoon’s Animal House” was popular then,and Olson says students were forever teasing about whatit would take to draw his version of Dean Wormer’s“Double-Secret Probation.”The paper caper wasn’t it. With help, Olson simply shoveledout. His leniency was arguably rewarded when thepranksters later found great success in seriously creativecareers: Boehler as an award-winning humanities professor,and Duchrow as an arts center administrator.Says Olson, “Maybe I felt lucky I didn’t wind up with a horse inmy office.”“Pep rallies aren’t for everyone. Neither are picketparades. But somewhere in between there’s a placefor you to get involved — deeply — in a UWGBco-curricular activity that suits your style andsatisfies your sense of purpose.” This 1969pamphlet from the Department of Student Affairscredited student advisory committees with helpingcreate the 4-1-4 calendar, adding options to thecurriculum, and making students part of theinterview process for faculty hiring.

The Senators‘UW-Green Bay wasahead of its time’Pick any celebratory campus event overthe last decade or two and go to the photoarchive or online gallery. You’d be hardpressed to find a groundbreaking, ribboncutting or open house at which Rob Cowles,Dave Hansen, or both, aren’t present in atleast one snapshot.The two Wisconsin state senators are onopposite sides of the aisle, but share a commonbond as early graduates of the thennewUW-Green Bay.Cowles, a 1975 grad (and at right in photocollage), represents the 2nd Senate Districtcovering Green Bay’s southern suburbs andrural areas west and north of the city. Hewas first elected to the state Assembly in1983, and to the Senate in 1987.“I think back to those early years,” Cowlessays, “and UW-Green Bay was ahead ofits time on sustainability. It remains wellpositionedto educate future leaders for acomplex world.”Hansen received his degree in 1971 as amember of the second graduating class. Hewas first selected to the Senate in 2000 andis this fall seeking a third term representingthe 30th District, which encompasses GreenBay’s West Side and bayshore communitiesup to Marinette.“Ever since I graduated, I have felt a commitment,because it’s my university,” Hansensays. “I have been a schoolteacher, a truckdriver and an elected official, and I havealways valued that liberal arts educationfrom UW-Green Bay.”A third state legislator with alumni ties isRep. Frank Lasee, Class of 1986. He is seekinghis eighth two-year term since 1994.The 2nd Assembly District covers Bellevue,Ledgeview and rural townships extending toTwo Rivers.The Student Candidate‘I think the voters wanted change’Adam Warpinski was a 22-year-old student at UW-Green Bay in April 2006 when hemade the leap from Student Senate to Brown County Board.Warpinski pulled 86 percent of the vote to oust a controversial incumbent in SupervisoryDistrict 1, which includes the campus and adjacent neighborhoods.“I think the voters in the district wanted change,” he said, “and they supported my effortto bring change to the board.”The political science major graduated in 2006 and won re-election last spring. He serveson the Alumni Association Board (and is shown grilling burgers at a welcome picnic forstudents this fall.)The political science major is the youngest but by no means only alumnus in local politics.Both the County Board chairman (Guy Zima ’75, a 32-year veteran) and City Councilpresident (Christopher Wery ’93) are UW-Green Bay grads. County Executive Tom Hintzhas taken courses at the University.“It was my position assenate liaison to SUFACthat truly changed mylife. While at meetingsand checking onaccount balances at theOrganizational FinanceOffice I met Sara Kraus(’92), who in part through many visits toOFO, I eventually convinced to becomeSara Nick.”Stephen C. Nick ’92City Attorney, City of Eau Claire(and proud father of Anna, 8, and Julia, 6)The Shopkeeper/Office Holder‘Be part of the process’The late Jarrell Yarbrough was one of UW-Green Bay’s most dynamic faculty members, anenthusiastic ambassador for his field of politicalscience. Beth Sheedy ’88 is one of his formerstudents who took those lessons to heart.“He made it clear you shouldn’t complain aboutlocal and national management if you did nothingto change it,” she remembers. “He alwaysstressed, ‘be part of the process.’ I have foundthat to be exactly the case.”Sheedy was reelected in April to a secondterm as village president of Suamico. The fastgrowingcommunity (pop. 11,000) just northof Green Bay is a mix of development, farms,woodlands and wetlands along the bayshore.The president and six trustees guide policy, afull-time administrative staff handles day-todayoperations.“Sheedy has her own day job, as owner of Beth’sBoutique, a women’s clothing and accessorystore located in a historic former inn at the VickeryVillage shops. With retail by day and, often,village business by night, free time is scarce.“I believe we all get to a point in life where weask ourselves what it is we can do to make a difference,”says Sheedy, who grew up on a farm inSuamico. “I felt the need to give back to a communitythat has been so good to my family.”As village president, she pledges good servicesat a reasonable tax rate. She also remembersher former prof’s passion for civic involvement.“By being part of the process, you make a differencefor the community, but you’re also morepassionate and enthusiastic about life in general,and about living in Suamico. It’s rewarding.”My sophomore year, I thought I would get more involved so I joinedthe “Protection and Welfare” Committee in the apartments. Onenight while sitting around brain-storming, somebody said ‘How canwe beat Madison at something?’ and then suggested we be the firstschool to get condom machines. It was controversial, in the news,but the students (stressing health issues) made it happen. The nextsemester, I repented and joined InterVarsity Christian Fellowship andlater became president of the Student Education Association.Amy (Perras) Cull ’89Drama, English and American Studies teacherOak Lawn, Ill.”Dean callsstudents, actiona winning ticketSue Keihn, who has worked withthousands of students and hundredsof student governmentleaders since her 1996 appointmentas UW-Green Bay dean ofstudents, sees a win-win.“Involvement does several things,”Keihn says. “It provides the Universitywith student input on policiesand fees. Most importantly,it gives students more opportunitiesto apply their learningto leadership, decision-making,teamwork and to serving the community.”Today’s students are buildingon a tradition. From the 1970sthrough the 1990s, when the UWSystem presented a President’sAward for Student Government,the Green Bay leadership was thefirst four-time winner.“They’ve had a phenomenalimpact on the University landscape,”Keihn says. “They havealso made life-long friendshipsand connections with the faculty,staff and University community.They represent us well.”10 November 2008 11November 2008

CAMPUS NEWSCAMPUS NEWSOn the strength of recent gifts for student scholarships,The Campaign for UW-Green Bay stands at $23million and is poised to go higher with a majornew academic initiative. Steve Swan, assistantchancellor for university advancement, saysthe University is excited about potentialcommunity and alumni support for creationof a center for environmental managementand business. The center is expected todebut in spring 2009. It will capitalize onUW-Green Bay’s historic strength in environmentalstudies and address rising interest inAt $23 million, Capital Campaignlooks to the ‘green’the cost efficiencies and eco-friendly benefits of “going green.”Says Swan, “In the last year alone we’ve added more than adozen new endowed scholarships and created many moreopportunities for students. Now, with the (businessand environment) institute, the goal is that thesestudents and faculty across campus are going to giveback to citizens and employers by making GreenBay a leader in sustainability.” The campaign’s $23million raised to date includes $11 million for theKress Events Center along with one-time and ongoingsupport since July 1, 2003.Students enjoy a more perfect UnionEvery few years, the University Uniongets bigger to serve more on-campusresidents, cater to changing tastes inprogramming and dining, and handleincreasing traffic.The Union’s latest makeover and expansionwas dedicated in September.“What I’ve heard from students is theyreally love the extra open space we havenow,” says Sue Keihn, dean of students.“It gives them more recreational space,as well as extra, and more visible, spacefor programming.”A 20,000-square-foot addition is thenew home of the Phoenix Bookstoreand the UW Credit Union, previouslylocated on the second floor of the CofrinLibrary. The Leona Cloud Commons— formerly the Nicolet Room and stillthe main dining area — was expandedto increase seating capacity from 275to 400. There’s a new info and ticketingcenter just inside the main entrance,too.The remodeling opened space for additionaldining options. Selections nowinclude a Southwestern grill and pizzaoutlet in addition to a pasta bar, subsandwiches, homestyle dinner entréesand salad bar. Downstairs, the PhoenixClub has been updated and expanded.Student Life and Student GovernmentAssociation offices were relocated tomore accommodating offices, and theAmerican Intercultural Center wasmoved to the Union from a space in theCofrin Library.The project cost $6.2 million and wasfunded primarily with student fees.Little Shop ofHorrors, FoyerFull of FoundersReserve the date Thursday,Nov. 20, for a fun evening.The Founders Associationwill host a cocktail and horsd’oeuvres reception at 6p.m. in the grand foyer ofthe Weidner Center for thePerforming Arts. For thosewho order tickets with thegroup, the festivities latermove across the street to theUniversity Theatre. Curtaintime is 7:30 for “Little Shopof Horrors” by the awardwinningUW-Green Baytheatre program.This format is a slightchange from the fall dinnerprogram of previous years.It reflects a new direction instewardship for the Founders,an organization of morethan 2,000 alumni, communityfriends and campusemployees.Location,location,location…and a ‘thank you’Len Seidl helped secure the beautiful bayshore location whereUW-Green Bay stands today. At May commencement, theUniversity said “thank you” and presented the 88-year-oldretired real estate executive its highest community honor, theChancellor’s Award.Seidl in effect broke the deadlock when in 1966 Brown Countyand Fox Valley interests reached an impasse in siting the region’snew four-year university. Working independently, and familiarwith property and land owners in the vicinity of the ShorewoodCounty Club, he investigated and found that options onproperty could be obtained there at a comparative savings.Within months, state approval followed, and founding ChancellorEdward Weidner was soon leading tours and sketching outbuilding locations.Also honored with Chancellor’s Award recognition in May wasoutgoing Green Bay school superintendent Dan Nerad.RememberingBlair, Cofrin, Longand MillerIn 2008 the University mournedthe passing of four influentialsupporters whose names andgenerosity are prominent on thecampus landscape.Dorothy Blair died May 20 after ashort illness, at age 87. Mrs. Blair andher late husband, John P. Blair, weredevoted friends of the University. Thebronze “Doe with Fawns” sculpture atthe Nicolet Entrance was an early Blairgift, followed by $1.5 million to createthis irst endowed chair, the John P.Blair Chair in Communication..Friends and family gathered Oct. 4on campus to remember Peter Cofrin,who passed away last summer at age63. Gifts by Peter and family mamberscreated UW-Green Bay’s CofrinMemorial Arboretum. An overlookdeck on an arboretum hillside has beendedicated in Peter’s honor.Donald Long Hall is a fittingremembrance of the longtime campusadvocate and business leader, whopassed away in May at age 80. Longco-chaired the University’s first capitalcampaign, helping raise more than$2.5 million in the early 1980s forscholarships, professorships and seedmoney to construct residence halls.Norman Miller, a founding member ofthe UW-Green Bay Founders Association,died Jan. 1 in Green Bay at age86. His family’s generosity extendedcommunitywide, yielding scholarshipfunds for students, and resources topursue initiatives in health care andsocial justice.14 November 2008 15November 2008

Itrelies increasingly on tuition,gifts and grant revenue. It ismore accurate to describe theUniversity as “tax-assisted”rather than “tax-supported.”Why consider anendowment when animmediate contributionhas such instant impact?Endowments take the longview. The principle remainsintact, and the Universitythen awards a portion of theannual investment earnings(historically, about 5 percentof principle) to scholarships,research, programming—whatever is specified by theindividual donor. Remainingproceeds and new contributionsare reinvested so inflationwon’t diminish the fund’soverall value.
