Theatre, Cofrin School partner on Business Ethics panel on ‘Radium Girls’
In partnership with the UW-Green Bay Theatre program, the Austin E. Cofrin School of Business presents an interdisciplinary panel examining the case of the so-called “Radium Girls.” The discussion is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. next Wednesday (March 6) in Phoenix Room C of the University Union. It coincides with the run of the UW-Green Bay Theatre production These Shining Lives, which opens Feb. 28. The play is the true story of women who fought back against the 1920s-era Radium Dial Company after their work at the company made them sick. Could history repeat itself?
Scheduled panelists and their areas of specialization are:
• Prof. Illene Cupit, Human Development, death and dying
• Lisa LeComte-Gleason, consultant and senior HR professional with Humana, industrial safety
• Sue J. Mattison, dean of the College of Professional Studies, occupational disease

• Prof. Christine Smith, chair of the Women’s and Gender Studies program
Moderated by Ghadir Ishqaidef, instructor of Human Resource Management.
