This week, we are celebrating the inauguration of our new Chancellor AND our Hallmarks at UW-P
On Tuesday, we began by highlighting Student Success!
First, we heard from Chancellor Ford, who spoke about student success and the importance of mentors.
Following her address, there was a great student and student organization procession down the concourse to the Student Center...a Parkside Student Government student led the group carrying a UW-P flag and several organizations carried banners for their group. The Environmental Group went all out and dressed in full waders and 'green' gear!
In the Ballroom, there was a panel of alumni who shared their successes, both from UW-P and beyond.
The panelists included:
- Kathy Dever '06, Teacher, Racine Unified School District
- Rick Gearheart '07, Development/Systems Engineer, Unico, Inc.
- Teri Jacobson '04, Treasurer, Kenosha County
- Sabha Museteif '07, Purchasing Systems Supervisor, Modine Manufacturing
- Carmen Tenuta '92, Director of Media/Public Relations, Johnson Financial Group
These alumni were fantastic! They shared wonderful stories and had great advice for the students!
They probably thought I turned into a bobble-head because I was nodding in agreement so much of what they had to say!
In all, I thank the alumni, students, faculty and staff for a great
Celebration of Student Success AND Welcome, Chancellor Ford!
