Phuture Phoenix fifth graders to visit the UW-Green Bay campus

The Phuture Phoenix program is thrilled to announce that UW-Green Bay will host nearly 1,500 fifth grade students from Title I schools across Northeast Wisconsin over two days in October!

Watch for the kids in bright yellow t-shirts on Thursday, October 20 and Tuesday, October 25. Over 120 UW-Green Bay student role models will act as tour guides offering the children a window into what it’s like to go to college and inspiring them to think about their own post-secondary aspirations.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to engage in service for our community. UW-Green Bay students are always instructed to ask for permission to miss class if serving as a role model conflicts with their class schedule. Students may ask to be excused from some or all of class on these dates.

College prep starts early, and the Phuture Phoenix campus experiences offer students a first-hand look at the necessary steps to pursue and attain higher education goals, as well as everything a university education can offer.

Students interested in volunteering as a role model can use this link to sign up. Please share this with any students that would like to know more!
