Show your support

The spectacular Kress Events Center on the UW-Green Bay campus is a state-of-the-art facility that is “home” to students for activities fulfilling their complete student life experience. The Kress offers activities for fitness, health, recreation, intramural, and student gatherings.

With 4,000 seats, the venue also serves as “home court” for exciting NCAA Division I athletics, commencements, concerts, all-campus gatherings and community events.

A dream for decades, the facility is recognized as a top-flight student recreation and events center. Now, friends of the Phoenix can show their support and leave a legacy by attaching a personalized name on a seat plate in the main event area.

For a $100 contribution, engrave your name – or that of a favorite student, family member, professor or alumnus – on a seat nameplate. Several options are available:
• Your name only
• Student name and graduating class year
• In honor of your designee
• In memory of a loved one

As a parent, this is a long lasting impression to gift to your son or daughter’s alma mater!

UWGB goes to paperless billing system

Heads-up to parents (and future parents) of University of Wisconsin-Green Bay students. Beginning with the spring 2008 semester, the university is moving to a paperless billing system, called “ebilling.”

One last paper bill will be sent in December 2007, for spring 2008 charges. After that no paper bills will be sent, only the email notification via campus e-mail if a student has a balance due. They will be directed to the finances section of the Student Information System (SIS).

Beginning November 6, 2007, students will be able to grant “SIS Guest Access” to their financial account to parents or others, who will then be able to see charges and make payments directly online or print out account information for payment by mail or in person.

“The move was made for increased accuracy, efficiency, and, it’s environmentally friendly as well,” said Bursar Dick Anderson.

For more information see the student billing Web site, or contact Student Billing at 920-465-2224.
