Feature: Firefighter Steel is first grad of ‘Spanish in the Professions’

Jordan Steel, a lieutenant with the Appleton Fire Department, is the first person to graduate from the Spanish in the Professions certificate program offered by the Outreach division at UW-Green Bay. Steel, who is a resident of Allouez, says his conversational Spanish skills are much-improved, and he says he has already found them helpful in fire-investigation scenarios involving Spanish-speaking residents. The education will prove useful in Steel’s service work in Peru, he says. Nice story, up in rotation on the main UW-Green Bay homepage; click here.
