Greetings 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, when
I was a newly minted Ph.D. and UW-Green Bay a brand-new university, this institution gave me my first job 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 development consultant and witnessed various models applied to regional collaboration, education and economic growth.
Clearly, Green Bay has it right. I say that because of the level of commitment here, from friends throughout 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 universities so 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 future growth. That’s why I am convinced that not only will UW-Green Bay move forward, it will do so at a pace 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 and wide, feel free to contact me by e-mail at wardd@uwgb.edu or by phone at (920) 465-2207. My thanks to each and every one of you for all you do for our University and its efforts to connect learning to life.
David Ward
Interim Chancellor
David J. Ward, a Green Bay native and former UW System senior vice president, be came interim chancellor on July 1. He is expected to serve until early 2009 and the appointment of a permanent successor to Bruce Shepard, now president at Western
Washington University. Shepard and his wife, Cyndie, thanked well-wishers (right) at a June reception marking the end of his seven-year tenure. Ward isn’t the only founding faculty member now serving in a leadership capacity at
UW-Green Bay. William Laatsch (left), a professor of geography with UW service dating to 1966, is interim provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs.
He takes over for Sue K. Hammersmith (below), now president of
Metropolitan State University in Minnesota.

Cover: Scott Knapp addresses the crowd on Nov. 3, 1967, at the groundbreaking for the first buildings on the Shorewood campus. Knapp was president of the com bined student associations from the two-year UW centers in Green Bay, Manitowoc,
Marinette and Menasha. The following year, in fall 1968, he and a few dozen others would be the first to take junior-senior level courses at the Deckner campus.
The new buildings opened in fall 1969.

The message is this: In civic service, political leadership and neighborhood involvement, UW-
Green Bay graduates are making a difference.
This issue of the magazine turns the spotlight on just a few of those individuals. We touch base with 40 years of student leaders and find that many are community leaders, still today. We meet up with grads who weren’t active in politics and policy as students, but now are, holding elected office or positions in local or state government.
It’s a source of pride for many, especially Jerry Olson. The longtime dean of students says credit is due students with strong work ethics and an academic plan that emphasizes problem solving and working together.
“When you look at what’s happening in our nation, and the world… all of the problems…
I feel as though I could take a cross-section of our student leadership over the years, take them and put them in a room, close the door, and they’d work it out. I feel confident they could address any problem put before them. There are so many outstanding people.”
Enjoy this Inside.
Scott Knapp remembers the conversation that started him thinking about a life in higher education.
It was the close of the 1960s. He was in his young 20s and about to stop out of college for duty as a military intelligence agent. He met up with a favorite UW-Green Bay mentor, Prof. William Kuepper.
They knew each other well. Kuepper had been interim dean in charge of the two-year Green
Bay center as it ramped up to become a fouryear university. Knapp was president of student government. He and his fellow leaders enjoyed a fair amount of influence thanks to the way
UWGB enlisted students in shaping its innovative approach.
The two exchanged best wishes. Kuepper encouraged Knapp to return to finish his degree when his three-year tour was up, and also put in a plug for an eventual academic career. What’s more, he even predicted it.
“Once you’ve tasted blood,” Kuepper said, in mock seriousness, “you’ll be back for more.”
Even then it was an old joke, an inside crack on the supposed low-stakes nature of campus politics. Almost 40 years later, though, both men recall the exchange, and smile that it proved accurate.
Knapp returned to finish his degree and he did enter higher education. Today he is president of
Central Maine Community College.
He continues to admire the governance model set by Kuepper and, particularly, Founding
Chancellor Edward Weidner.
“Weidner committed to student input. He told us, ‘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 making a lot of good decisions as a result.”
Short-staffed, operating out of makeshift offices and scrambling to prepare for the fall
1969 opening of the Shorewood campus, the
University delegated plenty of work to students like Knapp. He became an aide to the student affairs director, Donald Makuen, and helped write and edit early promotional material.
November 2008
He still remembers his roots in student involvement.
“It’s a little bit more difficult at a community college because by the time they get up and running, involved and informed, their two years are over,” Knapp says. “As president, I take it pretty seriously, though. And we do make better decisions.”
Kuepper, who wasn’t all that much older than
Knapp at the time he offered his counsel, went on to a long academic career that included service as UW-Green Bay’s vice chancellor for academic affairs. Now retired in Colorado, he says he’s not surprised by Knapp’s success.
“Scott was a very talented individual,” he says,
“and for a fledgling institution our student government was quite remarkable. There is also something to be said for taking advantage of what was a unique opportunity, for all of us, of being in on the ground floor of a brand-new institution making decisions and doing things with curriculum and governance and day-to-day operations. It was a tremendous experience.”
In the classroom, Knapp was energized, and in his favorite subject of political science he “lucked into something special.” (Since it was
Weidner’s own field, Knapp suggests today, top talent and resources just naturally followed.) He remembers
Richard Fontera, the institution’s first faculty hire, and
Al Swinerton as standouts.
Knapp received his bachelor’s in Urban and
Regional Analysis in 1974.
Not too many months later his old boss Makuen, since moved on, gave him a call. “Would you still be interested in college administration?” he asked, inviting Knapp to apply for a staff position at a community college in Pennsylvania.
Knapp got the job, and others to follow. He earned a master’s, and then a doctorate from
Temple University in higher education administration. His first presidency was at the two-year campus in Terra Haute, Indiana. He accepted the position with Central Maine 11 years ago.

Of all the SGA leaders, Robert Stevens is one who took his advocacy national.
When he graduated in 1976 he headed to Madison for a master’s in higher ed administration and a paid position with the United Council of UW
Student Governments. Two years later, it was off to
Washington, D.C., for a staff position with the U.S.
National Student Association. There, he was an advocate for student causes and a liaison to state student groups, congressional offices and major higher education associations.
By late 1979, all that experience earned him a political appointment as student liaison officer in the newly created U.S. Department of Education.
That stint was short-lived — within 18 months the
Carter Administration was history — but the former SGA president knew then he would return to college, this time on the inside.
He has worked since as an instructor, staff member and administrator, mostly with Miami-Dade Community College in south Florida. He has been a
“
”
November 2008 financial aid counselor, student center director and assistant dean. Today he is a graduate student adviser for the Fischler School of Education and Human Services at Nova
Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale.
“College was so much fun when I started, in 1970,” he recalls, “that I just never left.”
Earlier this year, taking time away from pursuing another degree (a doctorate with a dissertation on online advising), he responded to our request for SGA memories. Excerpts are above, right. A more complete remembrance can be found in Inside online.

When Sue Premo came to UW-Green Bay as a college freshman, she found people willing to listen, and in the process, she also found her own voice. It was the perfect transition into a career in which she speaks on behalf of thousands of volunteers.
Premo is the community relations director for the Volunteer Center of Brown County. She is responsible for special events that promote volunteerism and garner greater awareness of, and financial support for, the Volunteer Center.
As elections draw near she reflects on her current career and the fact she once held elected office herself (SGA president,1986).
“Especially in this political season, it occurs to me that volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy,” Premo says. “From the people delivering meals, to community stewards erecting buildings, volunteers ‘vote’ every day about the kind of community they want to live in.
“It’s exciting to be a part of that. I am continually amazed and honored to be part of the powerful things that volunteers do for our community.”
Premo wasn’t always so self-assured, but her
University experience helped reassure her that her 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 professors and other smart people doing listening to me?’ In the end, my experience at UW-Green
Bay and student government taught me that everyone has a voice, and everyone can make a difference.”
As a first-generation college student, Premo says she found UW-Green Bay to be “exciting, challenging, and a great environment for learning.”
A rare campus attack involving her roommate showed Premo just how much campus personnel cared. The chancellor immediately arranged for a group of students to participate in a ‘security walk’ to make sure areas of concern were addressed.
“I was really impressed with how seriously Dr.
Weidner considered our suggestions, and many of them were enacted,” she recalls. “Later, when
I became involved in Housing Council and Student Senate, I continued to be impressed that the faculty and administration listened to students and we were often able to come to agreement.”
Premo encourages all her fellow graduates of UW-Green Bay to get involved. For those living in Brown County, she’s got a great place to start: www.volunteergb.org.
Volunteer opportunities throughout the state and country can be accessed at www.1-800-VOLUNTEER.
November 2008
A decade ago Jamie Kuhn ’95 and Tim Casper ’95 were a formidable one-two punch as president and vicepresident atop the Student Government Association at
UW-Green Bay.
They and their SGA colleagues went separate ways after graduation, of course, but years later Kuhn and
Casper happened to find public service careers in the same state, city and building. Their offices are now just a few floors apart, beneath the white granite dome of the 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-Green
Bay was the ability to prepare and deliver concise, effective oral presentations,” Kasper says. “The classes were small enough that there were numerous opportunities to stand in front of your classmates and provide an overview of your report, or lead discussion.”
Nowadays, the audiences for his briefings are often the governor and cabinet officials. Kasper manages development of Doyle’s major policy and budget initiatives.
His assignments have ranged from the Grow Wisconsin job creation and economic development plan, to BadgerCare Plus extending health care access, to Clean
Energy Wisconsin, a plan promoting renewable energy and fuel production. Kasper also helps communicate these initiatives to the public.
Kuhn’s position, too, requires flexibility. Because Sen.
Miller is co-chair of the influential, budget-writing Joint
Finance Committee, and chair of the environmental committee, his staff addresses policy issues across state government. If that weren’t enough, Kuhn, a parent to three children, field supervises UW-Madison grad students in social policy, and finds time to contribute political commentary to “Here and Now” on public television.
“The one thing I’d tell UW-Green Bay students today,”
Kuhn says, “is never shy away from an opportunity. You never know where it will lead.”
For more on Kuhn and Kasper, see Inside online.

Bonny Hawley, once the top elected official in student government at UW-Green Bay, is in her element again, this time as a key legislative staffer in the nation’s most populous state.
She is chief of staff for California
Assemblyman John Laird, representing Monterey, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. Laird chaired his chamber’s powerful budget committee and has built a reputation for supporting education and environmental causes.
Hawley was SGA president in
1981-82. She received her degree in Social Change and Development in 1983.
“Just an outstanding person,” recalls Jerry Olson, longtime dean of students who helped mentor
Hawley and her colleagues. “Our campus mission has always been problem solving and working together, and they followed that.
They were good at what they did.”
Hawley has been active with a variety of community and public policy organizations. She served on the board of directors for Save
Our Shores, a marine conservation group based in Santa Cruz and dedicated to education and citizen action.

“
‘Good morning, dean!’ Jerry Olson was normally alone those days he’d arrive early. But turning the corner this morning, he fielded a sunny greeting from two students parked outside his office, in sunglasses and Hawaiian garb, reclining in beach chairs.
SGA officers Karl Boehler ’84 and Steve Duchrow ’84 looked ready to catch a wave, and they were — a wave of wadded, crumpled paper about to spill out of the Dean of Students Office.
“From floor to ceiling, side to side, back to front, it was just stuffed with paper and newspapers,” recalls Olson, laughing.
“National Lampoon’s Animal House” was popular then, and Olson says students were forever teasing about what it would take to draw his version of Dean Wormer’s
“Double-Secret Probation.”
The paper caper wasn’t it. With help, Olson simply shoveled out. His leniency was arguably rewarded when the pranksters later found great success in seriously creative careers: 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 in my office.”

Pick any celebratory campus event over the last decade or two and go to the photo archive or online gallery. You’d be hard pressed to find a groundbreaking, ribbon cutting or open house at which Rob Cowles,
Dave Hansen, or both, aren’t present in at least one snapshot.
The two Wisconsin state senators are on opposite sides of the aisle, but share a common bond as early graduates of the thennew UW-Green Bay.
Cowles, a 1975 grad (and at right in photo collage), represents the 2nd Senate District covering Green Bay’s southern suburbs and rural areas west and north of the city. He was first elected to the state Assembly in
1983, and to the Senate in 1987.
“I think back to those early years,” Cowles says, “and UW-Green Bay was ahead of its time on sustainability. It remains wellpositioned to educate future leaders for a complex world.”
Hansen received his degree in 1971 as a member of the second graduating class. He was first selected to the Senate in 2000 and is this fall seeking a third term representing the 30th District, which encompasses Green
Bay’s West Side and bayshore communities up to Marinette.
“Ever since I graduated, I have felt a commitment, because it’s my university,” Hansen says. “I have been a schoolteacher, a truck driver and an elected official, and I have always valued that liberal arts education from UW-Green Bay.”
A third state legislator with alumni ties is
Rep. Frank Lasee, Class of 1986. He is seeking his eighth two-year term since 1994.
The 2nd Assembly District covers Bellevue,
Ledgeview and rural townships extending to
Two Rivers.

”
Adam Warpinski was a 22-year-old student at UW-Green Bay in April 2006 when he made the leap from Student Senate to Brown County Board.
Warpinski pulled 86 percent of the vote to oust a controversial incumbent in Supervisory District 1, which includes the campus and adjacent neighborhoods.
“I think the voters in the district wanted change,” he said, “and they supported my effort to bring change to the board.”
The political science major graduated in 2006 and won re-election last spring. He serves on the Alumni Association Board (and is shown grilling burgers at a welcome picnic for students 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 Council president (Christopher Wery ’93) are UW-Green Bay grads. County Executive Tom Hintz has taken courses at the University.
November 2008
The late Jarrell Yarbrough was one of UW-
Green Bay’s most dynamic faculty members, an enthusiastic ambassador for his field of political science. Beth Sheedy ’88 is one of his former students who took those lessons to heart.
Sheedy has her own day job, as owner of Beth’s
Boutique, a women’s clothing and accessory store located in a historic former inn at the Vickery Village shops. With retail by day and, often, village business by night, free time is scarce.
“He made it clear you shouldn’t complain about local and national management if you did nothing to change it,” she remembers. “He always stressed, ‘be part of the process.’ I have found that to be exactly the case.”
“I believe we all get to a point in life where we ask ourselves what it is we can do to make a difference,” says Sheedy, who grew up on a farm in
Suamico. “I felt the need to give back to a community that has been so good to my family.”
Sheedy was reelected in April to a second term as village president of Suamico. The fastgrowing community (pop. 11,000) just north of Green Bay is a mix of development, farms, woodlands and wetlands along the bayshore.
The president and six trustees guide policy, a full-time administrative staff handles day-today operations.
As village president, she pledges good services at a reasonable tax rate. She also remembers her former prof’s passion for civic involvement.
“By being part of the process, you make a difference for the community, but you’re also more passionate and enthusiastic about life in general, and about living in Suamico. It’s rewarding.”
“
”
Sue Keihn, who has worked with thousands of students and hundreds of student government leaders since her 1996 appointment as UW-Green Bay dean of students, sees a win-win.
“Involvement does several things,”
Keihn says. “It provides the University with student input on policies and fees. Most importantly, it gives students more opportunities to apply their learning to leadership, decision-making, teamwork and to serving the community.”
Today’s students are building on a tradition. From the 1970s through the 1990s, when the UW
System presented a President’s
Award for Student Government, the Green Bay leadership was the first four-time winner.
“They’ve had a phenomenal impact on the University landscape,” Keihn says. “They have also made life-long friendships and connections with the faculty, staff and University community.
They represent us well.”

As a lead technician for the
Weidner Center for the Performing Arts, Brock Neverman was tired of fumbling around backstage in the dark.
Fifteen years later, he’s now in the spotlight, sort of, as a worldwide flashlight expert. Type “LED flashlights” into any search engine and you’ll likely see his page first. It’s the most-hit website on the heavily trafficked server www.uwgb.
edu.
Neverman created his public-service page when the modern-day internet was still in its infancy.
What started as a place to freely trade technical expertise quickly found a mass audience. Manufacturers even began sending him flashlights — professional models, consumer grade and prototypes — to test and review.
“I have between 300 and 400 flashlights,” he says. “Most of them, or at least half of them, were sent to me for reviews.”
Now a father of four, and with different job responsibilities — he is the Weidner’s general manager
— he spends less time in the dark, but still tests the occasional new model. To put them through their paces he’ll drop, throw and dunk them. He even runs them over with his car.
The ones that survive, and the smallest and brightest, are the best. You can shine your interest in flashlights on his webpage at www.uwgb.edu/nevermab/.

CAMPUS NEWS
14 November 2008
Every few years, the University Union gets bigger to serve more on-campus residents, cater to changing tastes in programming and dining, and handle increasing traffic.
— formerly the Nicolet Room and still the main dining area — was expanded to increase seating capacity from 275 to 400. There’s a new info and ticketing center just inside the main entrance, too.
The Union’s latest makeover and expansion was dedicated in September.
“What I’ve heard from students is they really love the extra open space we have now,” says Sue Keihn, dean of students.
“It gives them more recreational space, as well as extra, and more visible, space for programming.”
The remodeling opened space for additional dining options. Selections now include a Southwestern grill and pizza outlet in addition to a pasta bar, sub sandwiches, homestyle dinner entrées and salad bar. Downstairs, the Phoenix
Club has been updated and expanded.
A 20,000-square-foot addition is the new home of the Phoenix Bookstore and the UW Credit Union, previously located on the second floor of the Cofrin Library. The Leona Cloud Commons
Student Life and Student Government
Association offices were relocated to more accommodating offices, and the
American Intercultural Center was moved to the Union from a space in the
Cofrin Library.
The project cost $6.2 million and was funded primarily with student fees.
CAMPUS NEWS
On the strength of recent gifts for student scholarships,
The Campaign for UW-Green Bay stands at $23 million and is poised to go higher with a major new academic initiative. Steve Swan, assistant chancellor for university advancement, says the University is excited about potential community and alumni support for creation of a center for environmental management and business. The center is expected to debut in spring 2009. It will capitalize on
UW-Green Bay’s historic strength in environmental studies and address rising interest in the cost efficiencies and eco-friendly benefits of “going green.”
Says Swan, “In the last year alone we’ve added more than a dozen new endowed scholarships and created many more opportunities for students. Now, with the (business and environment) institute, the goal is that these students and faculty across campus are going to give back to citizens and employers by making Green
Bay a leader in sustainability.” The campaign’s $23 million raised to date includes $11 million for the
Kress Events Center along with one-time and ongoing support since July 1, 2003.
Reserve the date Thursday,
Nov. 20, for a fun evening.
The Founders Association will host a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres reception at 6 p.m. in the grand foyer of the Weidner Center for the
Performing Arts. For those who order tickets with the group, the festivities later move across the street to the
University Theatre. Curtain time is 7:30 for “Little Shop of Horrors” by the awardwinning UW-Green Bay theatre program.
This format is a slight change from the fall dinner program of previous years.
It reflects a new direction in stewardship for the Founders, an organization of more than 2,000 alumni, community friends and campus employees.
Len Seidl helped secure the beautiful bayshore location where
UW-Green Bay stands today. At May commencement, the
University said “thank you” and presented the 88-year-old retired real estate executive its highest community honor, the
Chancellor’s Award.
Seidl in effect broke the deadlock when in 1966 Brown County and Fox Valley interests reached an impasse in siting the region’s new four-year university. Working independently, and familiar with property and land owners in the vicinity of the Shorewood County Club, he investigated and found that options on property could be obtained there at a comparative savings.
Within months, state approval followed, and founding Chancellor Edward Weidner was soon leading tours and sketching out building locations.
Also honored with Chancellor’s Award recognition in May was outgoing Green Bay school superintendent Dan Nerad.
In 2008 the University mourned the passing of four influential supporters whose names and generosity are prominent on the campus landscape.
Dorothy Blair died May 20 after a short illness, at age 87. Mrs. Blair and her late husband, John P. Blair, were devoted friends of the University. The bronze “Doe with Fawns” sculpture at the Nicolet Entrance was an early Blair gift, followed by $1.5 million to create this irst endowed chair, the John P.
Blair Chair in Communication..
Friends and family gathered Oct. 4 on campus to remember Peter Cofrin, who passed away last summer at age
63. Gifts by Peter and family mambers created UW-Green Bay’s Cofrin
Memorial Arboretum. An overlook deck on an arboretum hillside has been dedicated in Peter’s honor.
Donald Long Hall is a fitting remembrance of the longtime campus advocate and business leader, who passed away in May at age 80. Long co-chaired the University’s first capital campaign, helping raise more than
$2.5 million in the early 1980s for scholarships, professorships and seed money to construct residence halls.
Norman Miller, a founding member of the UW-Green Bay Founders Associa tion, died Jan. 1 in Green Bay at age
86. His family’s generosity extended communitywide, yielding scholarship funds for students, and resources to pursue initiatives in health care and social justice.

THE GENEROSITY OF PRIVATE DONORS made 2007-08 another strong year for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. At the center of this success is the Founders
Association. With contributions from hundreds of community members, corporations and foundations, and from more than a thousand alumni, retirees and current employees, the Founders annual giving campaigns approached nearly one/half million dollars in philanthropic support. Proceeds benefit academics and student scholarships at UW-Green Bay.

UW-Green Bay gets less than
30 percent of its funding from the state of Wisconsin. It relies increasingly on tuition, gifts and grant revenue. It is more accurate to describe the
University as “tax-assisted” rather than “tax-supported.”
Endowments take the long view. The principle remains intact, and the University then awards a portion of the annual investment earnings
(historically, about 5 percent of principle) to scholarships, research, programming— whatever is specified by the individual donor. Remaining proceeds and new contributions are reinvested so inflation won’t diminish the fund’s overall value. UW-Green Bay has numerous funds whose accumulated payouts now greatly exceed the original contribution.
UW-Green Bay has over
25,000 alumni and is seeing steady gains in their participation rate…collectively, you can make a difference.
Engaged constituents, alumni and Founders Association members are valuable advocates. Community leaders and elected officials view the donor honor roll as a relative gauge of support. U.S. News and World Report factors alumni participation rates into its much-anticipated college rankings.
Direct an immediate contribution to the University through the Advancement Office by phone (920) 465-2074 or via the web at www.uwgb.edu/ giving/ and you’re enrolled as a member for that fiscal year. Members receive special notice of University activities, invitations to Founders
Association events and the satisfaction of supporting

LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL recognition in the form of donations, awards and outside grants made 2008 a banner year for Phuture Phoenix. Community supporters achieved not only another big year of annual giving, they also established the program’s first college scholarship funds (see facing page). Wisconsin’s educational leadership bestowed “Program of Distinction” honors. And a grant from the Great lakes Higher Education Guaranty
Corporation provided not only financial support but highprofile recognition of the program’s success in motivating fifth-graders in Northeastern Wisconsin to commit to education, graduate from high school and plan ahead for university and college careers.

THE NIAGARA SOCIETY recognizes those who invest in the future through a deferred or planned gift. This September, friends, family and campus gathered to commemorate a
$1 million bequest from the late Craig A. Mueller. His sister,
Marcia (left), said the family was proud his gift, the largest ever for a UW-Green Bay scholarship fund and the largest by an alumnus, will provide aid to students enrolled in the Arts and Visual Design and Communication academic units.

FRIENDS OF UW-GREEN BAY ATHLETICS enjoyed a special year in 2007-08. Phoenix teams continued their winning ways on the field of play, and Phoenix studentathletes exhibited exemplary achievement in the classroom.
A visiting NCAA review team awarded high marks to campus and community with regard to program operation and academic and fiscal integrity. The future looks brighter still with the opening of the state-of-the-art Kress Events
Center, the unveiling of a new athletics logo, new fundraisers
(including a Sergio Garcia outing, left) and the advent of a new commercial licensing program.

ALUMNI NOTES
For years, Steve Taylor ’79 , a business administration grad, shared the stories of his
Pullman porter grandfather mainly with family and close friends. Occasionally, a visitor to Taylor’s office at Northwestern Mutual in De Pere would ask about the keepsakes there
— his grandfather’s uniform, manual and union pin.
That changed when UW-Green
Bay Prof. Andy Kersten met with the National Railroad
Museum’s Michael Telzrow.
Kersten had just completed a book on A. Philip Randolph, the man who organized the porters to create the first
African-American labor union.
Kersten thought an exhibit using the museum’s Pullman sleeper would have mass appeal. Telzrow agreed.
The Pullman cars — essentially
“hotels on wheels,” were made for luxury and overnight travel. Those who served had well-paying jobs by Jim Crow standards but were subject to long hours, demanding duty and painstaking work rules.
When Taylor learned of the museum’s plans for an exhibit, “Pullman Porters: From Service to Civil
Rights,” he felt compelled to share both his keepsakes and an oral history of his late grandfather,
Emmanual Hurst.
The museum worked with Balance
Studios of Green Bay to create an avatar — a computer-generated three-dimensional image — based on the likeness of Hurst. Through video monitors, the avatar guides visitors through the car using
Hurst’s own words (as related by Taylor). He shares stories about the struggles and triumphs of the black porters, and the importance of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to the U.S. civil rights movement.
“Our grandfather much preferred to tell us about the good things and the good people,”
Taylor remembers. “But he shared the hardships, too, and taught us not to put up with disrespect, and he gave us ways to cope with adversity. He was a great believer in education, and told us ‘I have a great job, but you can do better.’”

ALUMNI NOTES
With administrative responsibilities for 1,500 medical military staff,
U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul
Goymerac ’89 is accustomed to a brisk pace. He serves as his soldiers’ human resource manager and troop commander for Madigan Army Medical Center in Fort Lewis, Wash., and its six-state region.
He has had two overseas tours in his
20-year military career — in 1991
Desert Shield/Storm, where he served on a Forward Airborne Surgical Team from Fort Bragg, and again in Iraq in 2003, where he was the medical brigade’s “S1,” coordinating all medical personnel support in
Northern Iraq.
“To tell you the truth, tours of duty are very rewarding and less stressful than day-to-day operations in the states,” Goymerac says. “We have been trained for a specific job, and that is what we do. (Stateside), we deal with all the politics, staff shortages, et cetera.”
When Walter Reed Army Medical Center drew national headlines for its run-down condition.
Goymerac’s commanding officer,
Brigadier General Sheila Baxter, appointed him commander for the center’s “Warrior in Transition” battalion. The battalion
— doctors, nurses, administrative personnel, and patients
— has since made dramatic improvements in the delivery of healthcare to wounded soldiers returning from deployments.
