For Hansens, a happy graduation day

State Sen. Dave Hansen and his wife, Jane, are familiar faces at UW-Green Bay events.

Dave, Class of 1971, has kept touch with his alma mater through the years and, if anything, has only increased his involvement in the years since he was elected to the Wisconsin Legislature.

The couple had reason to be smiling at UW-Green Bay Commencement on May 12. Regular attendees at Phoenix women’s basketball games at the Kress, this time the Hansens were cheering for daughter Carolyn Bicoy.

Carolyn, a returning adult student, passed within a few feet of her parents’ close-in seats en route to the platform to receive her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.
