Adviser John Stoll, professor of Public and Environmental Affairs, says the UW-Green Bay students dedicate countless hours annually to conducting personal interviews with nominees and references in preparing a report for the selection committee.

New name is Enactus — The UW-Green Bay student club SIFE is transitioning to a new name, Enactus, after action by the national board last year. The name was chosen to suggest “entrepreneurial action.” The goals of the UW-Green Bay chapter involve community service and learning skills to become socially responsible business leaders.
