UW-Green Bay English alumna writes in favor of funding education


Angela Bub of Benicia, Calif., a May 2012 UW-Green Bay graduate in English now pursuing a master’s in social work at the University of Southern California, is the author of a guest column on the Feb. 4 opinion page of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. She writes, “Humanities is not a field of education; humanities is a way of life. My interdisciplinary education through a public institution (UW-Green Bay) has shaped my life and the lives of many others.” Bub continues: “There is a professor who taught me throughout my four years at UWGB. She inspired me to look within myself and explore further opportunities. It is an insult to suggest professors should work harder, should do more, or should take pay cuts. I graduated in 2012 and continue to receive guidance, knowledge and good conversation from said professor. It is unjust to cut the budget of the UW System. Think twice about these decisions: They will not only impact those who are in school now, but future generations.”
