Warren Gerds/Critic at Large traces Northern Sky opening to UW-Green Bay roots

This is a story worth reading to remind a community the value of a regional public University. Read the Warren Gerds/Critic at Large: Extra!

Heide said, “I agree with your theory: UWGB has had many unanticipated positive effects on the community, and Northern Sky is an excellent example.”
