You are invited to join hundreds of students and community members who will gather at the Ecumenical Center on Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010 at 5 pm to celebrate the beginning of a new academic year at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Live music, free food and outdoor games will bring the community together.

And while students meet new or reconnect with old friends, they will be joined in celebration by the UWGB Chancellor Thomas Harden, the UWGB faculty and staff and members of the local community.

The event is free and open to the public. Local professional band(s) will perform cover songs. And the media is invited to include this event in calendar announcements and report on it (before and after.)

This event is co-sponsored by the Ecumenical Center, a not-for-profit organization, and the UWGB Alumni Association.

Rain site will be inside the Ecumenical Center.
