Ten reasons why I love being a UWGB student!
10) The wildlife on our campus is just ridiculous. We have deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and woodchucks. Oh, and if you take a walk around you might see some cats too. I think this is cool - well I could go without the cats. I once was giving a tour of our campus and almost got hit by a deer that went darting out in front of us.

9) We have some really cool professors. I have had professors who have taught class outside because it was warm out. I have had professors cancel class for Green Bay Packers' activities, such as the Super Bowl Return Parade. I have heard of some professors having a battle in their class and trivia days. It is so cool that we have professors that engage us as students and take their job to the next level.
8) Our academic advising department recently did a zombie movie. Yes, a zombie movie. If that isn’t cool, I don’t know what is. Who does that? Apparently UWGB. It is great! And yes, Julia Wallace is our provost. Check it out below:
7) We live in the land of the Green Bay freaking Packers. How cool is that? It’s very cool. Game days are like one big party. People fill the streets and literally you can hear the whole city cheer when a touchdown is made.
6) Now as a UWGB student we don’t get game day tickets but sometimes we do get benefits. Things like tickets for the NFL kick-off concert held early this fall. We got tickets to the concert and were asked to be the live audience for Kid Rock’s spot-light song. It was a fantastic day to be a Packer fan and a UWGB student.

5) One of the first concerts we had at UWGB this year was the band, Hot Chelle Rae. Their hit, Tonight, Tonight is a great song and we got to hear that live. It was a FREE concert and it was AWESOME. The lead singer walked through the crowd and many students got to have a meet and greet with the band.

4) Our school is hip. I mean that sincerely. We have a rocking Facebook. We have almost every department on twitter. You can tweet a question about almost anything and either get an answer or get directed somewhere that can help you. It is super cool. Our school stays connected and I respect that a lot.
3) I think our campus is one of the most beautiful campuses in the state. I have traveled to quite a few and honestly think ours is the best. The fall season is the best because we have so many trees. When the leaves change on them it creates so many colors. I just love it. Plain and simple.

2) The people on this campus are just phenomenal. Whether it is the professors, other students, or staff. Most of these people want to help you succeed and that is so cool. I get tons of emails telling me about jobs, internships and work study programs. I also name about 15 people in my head I can talk to if I ever have any problems with anything. A school does not have to do that. UWGB just reaches out.
1) Have you ever heard of our tunnels? Yes. We have tunnels. That means that when it is raining, snowing, or just crappy outside we as UWGB students get to walk inside. So when it is Feb 2, and it’s snowing think about how awesome it is to be a UWGB student and be walking in a tunnel.
Be jealous. Most days I wouldn't trade being a UWGB student!
