UW-Green Bay Receives the Jean Nicolet Award at 2014 Holiday Parade
UW-Green Bay’s float entry in this year’s holiday parade was fantastic for many reasons. First, the design was impressive with three life-sized Jack-in-the-Boxes. But more importantly, to represent this year’s Green Bay Holiday Parade theme, “Toyland Christmas,” the UWGB parade committee collected toys for children in need as part of the U.S. Marine Corps’ local Toys for Tots campaign. The float was filled with toys that will be donated and the community was able to see just how supportive UW-Green Bay is of our community. Even the parade judges agreed as they awarded UW-Green Bay with the Jean Nicolet Award for the float with the best parade theme portrayal! It was a great day of collaboration between students and employees and a great day for UW-Green Bay!
Refer-a-Phoenix
You…UW-Green Bay Alumni, are critical players on our admissions team. Who better to tell prospective students about the amazing people and opportunities at UW-Green Bay? It is our hope that you are bold about sharing the features of our wonderful campus to all the people searching for higher education opportunities.
The enrollment team is looking to increase the number of students who choose UWGB and we are formalizing the process for following up on your initial engagement. We call it, “Refer-a-Phoenix.” It would simply require you to take a minute to fill out a form at www.uwgb.edu/refer. Someone from the enrollment team will follow up with your potential student, answer any questions they might have about their college search and encourage a visit. (We have great success enrolling students who make a campus visit!).
In the meantime, if you have questions about applying to UWGB, or if you have suggestions for the admissions team, please contact Jen Jones at jonesj@uwgb.edu.
