Professional Program inNursing

Three Tracks - One Program

Student with Computer

The program is offered in three tracks: BSN-LINC National Track via the internet for nurses residing outside the state of Wisconsin; BSN@Home Track (formerly known as the Collaborative Nursing Program) also offered via the Internet for nurses residing in the state of Wisconsin; and Campus & Northwoods Track (face-to-face on campus). The program requirements, outcomes, and curriculum are the same for all three tracks, even though courses are delivered through different modalities.

The BSN-LINC Track is designed for RNs who reside outside the state of Wisconsin. Students must have a current RN license from any state in the U.S. for eligibility. Practicum is arranged in the student’s home state. All courses are available via the Internet. For more information please visit BSN-LINC Track.

The Internet-based BSN@Home Track for RNs who are Wisconsin residents, is available through the combined resources of the Nursing programs at the UW campuses in Green Bay, Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee, Oshkosh, and Stevens Point. The BSN is awarded by the home institution, in this case UW-Green Bay. All general education and support courses are offered via the Internet through UW-Green Bay Adult Degree and the UW-Colleges on-line. BSN@Home Track students are welcome to take courses on campus. For more information please visit BSN@Home Track.

Student at White Board

The Campus & Northwoods Track is designed for RNs who reside within traveling distance of UW Green Bay. (Note: A limited number of courses also are offered face to face in Marinette and Rhinelander, Wisconsin classroom locations). Nursing courses are offered in campus classrooms. Courses are typically “block scheduled,” meeting one day or evening per week. Campus & Northwoods Track students may also take online courses through the BSN@Home Track. For more information please visit Campus & Northwoods Track.

General education and support courses can be completed for all three tracks either on-campus; through UW-Green Bay Adult Degree (on-line or independent study/Saturday schedule); through UW-Colleges (on-line or on campus); or through UW Independent Learning correspondence courses.

There is one practicum in Community Health Nursing which involves flexible scheduling and is arranged near the student's home, regardless of the track. The online Health Assessment course has no formal lab component. However, students will need to use a friend, colleague or family member to practice the assessment skills. Each of the assessments will be evaluated by completion of correct documentation, case studies, and/or quiz evaluations. In addition, students will be encouraged to work with an experienced nurse colleague who will be helpful in skill development and giving feedback on emerging skills.

Homecoming: The First 100 Years

by Kevin Thorie, University Archivist

Homecoming, one of the oldest and happiest traditions at Stout, can trace its ancestry back to the annual Night Shirt Parade. The parade was usually held on a Friday night prior to the year's most important football game. Students would dress in their nightshirt (later they could also wear costumes) and parade around the campus and downtown Menomonie before returning to Stout to sing songs and have pep talks around a bonfire. The tradition of a nightshirt parade was to remain a part of Stout's homecoming until 1929 when it merged with the snake dance.

The first official homecoming was held at Stout on March 30 and 31, 1917. The celebration was held in conjunction with the dedication of the home economics building (later named Harvey Hall). Alumni from across the Midwest attended the celebration that included speeches, tours, musical entertainment and a banquet. It was also at that time that the Stout Alumni Association was formed with Ben Leuchtenberger as the first president.

Less than a month after the first official homecoming, the United States entered World War I. This, combined with the death of Stout President Lorenzo Dow Harvey, may have prevented the school from having another homecoming until 1922.

Many of the traditions that would become features of future homecomings began in 1922. In addition to the snake dance and bonfire, an alumni breakfast, pep rally and dance occurred. According to the Stoutonia, fun and excitement was experienced by all. The only negative aspect was the poor officiating that led to a 3-0 loss to River Falls. It is interesting to note that the homecoming game was one of the last football games of the year--largely due to the number of injuries sustained on the field.

By 1923, homecoming was firmly entrenched at Stout. The new president, Burton Nelson, was a strong supporter of athletics and was very popular with both students and alumni. In that year, a parade and homecoming play were added to the festivities. In spite of a 39-0 loss at the hands of Superior, the Stoutonia proclaimed: "Homecoming Surpasses All Expectations."

During the following decade, even during the start of the Great Depression, homecoming grew in popularity. The celebration was somewhat curtailed in 1925 out of respect for the death of President Nelson's wife. However, that was also the year that Stout won its first homecoming game, 6-0 over Superior. New activities added to the celebration included women's archery and field hockey games. A tradition also began for each incoming freshmen class to build a bigger and better bonfire than its predecessors.

What made homecoming of 1935 extra-special was the dedication of the new Burton E. Nelson Athletic Field. The plans for the new field were approved in 1933 and work began almost immediately. They included a large field for interschool games and a smaller practice field.

Several names had been suggested for the new field, but the Stout Student Association voted unanimously to name it after the man who had worked so hard to see this dream realized.

It was in 1937 that a homecoming queen first made an appearance on this campus. Lorene Graslie was crowned as Harvest Queen at that year's bonfire following an election by the student body.

Two years later, in keeping with the homecoming theme, "The American Way," Betty Coed and Joe College replaced the queen. Actually, three people were elected as Joe College (Tom Keough, Pat Murphy and Dick Trezona), and three were elected Betty Coed (Betty Coe, Betty Smith and Virginia Wild) as well. It was their job to lead the torchlight parade and light the bonfire.

As might be expected, World War II had a major affect on homecoming activities. In both 1943 and 1944, the football game was cancelled. Homecoming activities were largely confined to a bonfire, picnic and softball game. The effects of the war carried into 1946 when the alumni banquet was cancelled due to a lack of meat products to serve guests.

In the years following the war, the Stout campus expanded rapidly. As the number of students and alumni expanded, so did homecoming. By 1956 the homecoming parade had grown to more than 30 floats, with bands participating from all over the area. The following year the number of alumni who returned exceeded 500.

Through the years, there have been a series of problems associated with homecoming. As early as 1916, Stout students complained about being pelted with eggs by local high school students during the snake dance. A more persistent problem was the efforts of after-hours bar patrons attempting to close I-94 in the 1970s and 1980s.

Perhaps the most serious incident occurred in 1960. That year a number of students from Eau Claire came to Stout to prematurely set fire to the bonfire. During the melee, with Stout students guarding the wood, several students were burned and four were hospitalized. The entire campus was thrown into turmoil as attempts were made to locate any missing and possibly hurt students, and to put out the fire at the fairgrounds.

"Highlights in Heritage" was the appropriate theme for the 1967 homecoming. That was the start of a yearlong celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of Stout. During the Diamond Jubilee, it was estimated that Stout topped the 10,000 mark for the number of students who had received degrees from Stout. At the close of the celebration, during homecoming of 1968, so many alumni returned to Stout that all of the hotels were filled. Special buses had to be commissioned to transport alumni from hotels in Eau Claire to the campus.

During the decades of the 1970s and 1980s, homecoming reflected many of the changes that were taking place in society. Traditional homecoming activities such as the parade remained important, but greater emphasis was placed on concerts. Among the well-known bands and performers who played during homecoming were the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Billy Joel. It was also in 1970 that Stout had its first male homecoming candidate, Robert Cavey.

It was unfortunate that in the late 1970s and early 1980s the activities of a very small number of students threatened the continuation of homecoming. The excesses committed during parades, at the game and, most often, after the bars closed, were usually alcohol related. As a result of these activities, some schools pulled their bands from the parade, some people refused to attend football games, and some even called for a cancellation of all homecoming activities.

Surprisingly, in many ways, this crisis brought the City of Menomonie and the university closer together. Through their combined efforts, the problems were slowly alleviated. One of the most successful efforts was the introduction of the Bash on the Grass--an alcohol free concert and party.

Many positive homecoming events also took place during those decades. For example, the new Home Economics Building and the Merle M. Price Commons were dedicated. Also, in 1978, the UW-Stout Athletic Hall of Fame was created with the following charter members: Alvern Damberg, Dave Stori, Harley Hesselman, Gale Woelffer, Bob Young, Glenn Harke, Mike McHugh, Mike Thompson, Mel Coleman, John Peterson, Dwight Chinnock and Ray C. Johnson.

In 1990, with much of the turbulence of the previous years left behind, Stout prepared to celebrate its centennial. The theme for that year was "100 Cheers for 100 Years." This proved to be one of the largest and most successful homecoming celebrations in Stout's history. Dozens of activities were planned for both students and alumni. Even the weather proved to be perfect. To top it off, Stout defeated Stevens Point 25-15 in football. That year a roving reporter for the Stoutonia asked, "Is Homecoming more for the student or the alumni?" Lance Keeley, an industrial technology major, responded simply, "Both because that's what homecoming is all about." He was right. Homecoming began as, and continues to be, one of the happiest traditions for both Stout alumni and students.

Two people found dead in separate incidents in Calhoun County

By ErinPradia
Jan. 1, 2012 at 1 p.m.
Updated Jan. 1, 2012 at 7:02 p.m.

Two people were found dead in Calhoun County about an hour apart Saturday morning.

A woman was found dead on Magnolia Beach and a man was found at a home in the Seadrift bay front an hour apart about 9 a.m. Saturday, said Calhoun County Sheriff BB Browning.

Nicholas Aaron Rudd, 25, of Seadrift, was found in his home in the 1100 block of West Bay Avenue by his brother Bryan Keith Rudd , said his grandmother Joyce Rudd.

"He just turned 25 on the 27th of December. He expired sometime early Saturday morning, we were told," the grandmother said. "His brother thought he was just sleeping late, but by the time he went to wake him up, he was already gone."

Keith Rudd, Nicholas and Bryan's father, said Nicholas complained of pain in his left side while he was at a family reunion in Lake Jackson on Thursday.

Nicholas was home from school at Gary Job Corps in San Marcos where he was studying to be a certified welder. He planned to return on Sunday to begin his final course for his certification.

The identity of the Magnolia Beach woman is unknown at this time, the sheriff said.

Justice of the Peace Nancy Pomykal held inquests in both deaths. She ordered an autopsy be performed in both, the sheriff said.

They were sent to the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office in Austin for an autopsy, Browning said.

The causes of death are unknown at this time.

Center for Student Success

Early Alert Student Information

What is Starfish Early Alert?

Early Alert is designed to identify students who are having academic difficulty. Starfish is the early alert software system Viterbo has adopted to support the early alert process and is accessible through Moodle. Once an alert is received, an email is sent to the student and/or a member of the Early Alert Leadership Team will contact the student and discuss resources for success.

Students can benefit from Starfish by:

  • getting early and individualized feedback and contact from concerned members on campus.
  • receiving Starfish notifications in a variety of convenient methods, including email, text, and Facebook messages.
  • becoming motivated as a result of receiving positive, encouraging messages from instructors and other individuals on campus.

Why did I get a referral?

An employee at Viterbo University noticed you might benefit from academic assistance and submitted an online referral to the Early Alert Leadership Team. The reason for the referral may have been one or more of the following:

  • Performance not at course level
  • Struggles to keep pace with the class
  • Excessive absences/habitual tardiness to class
  • Not performing well on tests
  • Poor attitude and/or disruptive classroom behavior
  • Low or no engagement in the classroom (sleeping in class, talking, texting, etc.)
  • Pattern of late or missed assignments
  • Personal/health/social concerns that impact academic performance

Does a referral mean I am failing a class?

Receiving a referral does not necessarily mean you are failing a class. You may have been referred for a number of reasons.

Is an Early Alert put on my permanent academic record?

No. Referrals are part of the Early Alert system and are not part of your permanent record.

What should I do if I am contacted about an Early Alert?

First of all, remember, you are not "in trouble." We are here to help you be successful in your educational experience. If you are contacted with an alert, please respond as quickly as possible.

Distribution, Behavior, and Interactions with Higher Predators of Antarctic Zooplankton

Enlarge Image

Collaborators: Peter Wiebe (WHOI), Carin Ashjian (WHOI)

The U.S. Southern Ocean GLOBal OCean Ecosystems Dynamics (SO GLOBEC) program examined the physical and biological factors that contribute to the over-wintering success of Antarctic krill in the Marguerite Bay region along the Western Antarctic Peninsula: a key locus of krill abundance hypothesized to be a source for downstream krill populations around South Georgia. During fall- and winter-time surveys in 2001 and 2002, concurrent observations were made of physical processes, nutrient dynamics, primary producers, zooplankton, as well as higher predators, providing an important and unusual opportunity to understand biological-physical linkages at all levels of the ecosystem. More information on the SO GLOBEC program and links to the publications that have appeared to date from the program are available at the program's website.

Within this broader program, we examined the physical processes underlying the distribution and behavior of Antarctic krill and other zooplankton, and, via collaborations with other researchers in the program, the interactions of krill with higher predators, including penguins, seabirds, seals, and cetaceans. This was accomplished using data collected by multi-frequency acoustic, video, net, and environmental sensing systems during broad-scale surveys in and around Marguerite Bay.

The SO GLOBEC program is currently in its synthesis phase, and we continue to explore new facets of the data and to integrate the various multi-disciplinary datasets. In particular, we have ongoing projects examining krill aggregative behavior, via acoustic observations of the morphology, internal structure, and vertical position of individual krill aggregations, in relation to physical and biological factors, including predation threat; and examining the stage-specific distribution of the different euphausiid species in the SO GLOBEC study region.

I don't know if this is the place I should ask these ?s, but it is a good place to start.

I am running Winmx 3.54b4 and WCS on Xubuntu 7.10 with KDE thru Wine[latest version].  So far, mostly works gr8, but I have noticed 2 things I would like tom correct if possible:

1] There is no downsize button on my winmx screen (that would drop app down to panel/taskbar)  WCS has one and it works.
Any fix for this?

2] I cannot play a song from the transfers window in winmx.  I right click on a completed song and click on Play, but nothing happens.
What would I need to do to play a song from transfers window? (I am using Amorok for a mp3 player)

April grad named top industrial engineering student in nation

by Cheryl Roland
| WMU News
Photo of Kyle Croes.

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—An April graduate of Western Michigan University is traveling to Montreal, Quebec, this week to be honored as this nation's top industrial engineering student.

Kyle E. Croes, originally from New Baltimore, is the 2014 first-place winner of the Institute of Industrial Engineers' James W. Barany Student Award for Excellence. The top award is made to just one undergraduate in the nation who has provided distinguished service to industrial engineering through excellence in scholarship and campus leadership. The award will be presented at IIE's annual national conference, scheduled for May 31-June 3 in Montreal.

Kyle E. Croes

Croes earned his bachelor's degree from WMU this spring and works in supply chain management at Eaton Corp. He plans, down the road, to continue his education and eventually teach engineering.

"Kyle is an outstanding young man and one of the best students we have had here at Western Michigan University," says Dr. Bob White, professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering and a senior member of IIE. "He is a leader both inside and outside the classroom."

Croes, a talented high school musician who was a member of the Detroit Symphony Youth Ensemble, came to WMU undecided about a major. He discovered WMU's industrial and entrepreneurial engineering major and was sold.

"It is just a great blend of both business and engineering," says Croes, who notes he was initially unsure about the idea of becoming an engineer.

The 2009 graduate of Anchor Bay High School went on to use his musical background to inspire some of his entrepreneurial work, including his invention of a guitar-stringing tool. His engineering innovations as a student also have included simulation and development of a new production line for Stryker Inc., redesigning the layout of a grain mill to enhance logistics, improving facility layout for a distillery, and cost and process improvements for an area manufacturer.

 Croes' service to his profession has included his role as co-chair of the 2014 IIE Great Lakes Region Student Conference. The event was held at WMU in February and was attended by engineering students from four states—Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. In addition to serving as co-chair and managing schedules and accommodations, Croes directed a team of fundraisers who garnered more than $35,000 to support the 2014 conference, and he managed the conference career fair.

Croes is a member of engineering honorary Tau Beta Pi and a three-year member of Alpha Pi Mu, the national industrial engineering honor society. He served the latter organization for the past two years as president of its WMU chapter.

World Privacy Forum sends letter to Los Angeles Mayor regarding proposed cloud computing contract

Cloud computing — The World Privacy Forum sent a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa today expressing concerns and questions about a proposed contract to move the city of Los Angeles’ email and some other computing tasks to a cloud-based system. The Forum expressed concerns in particular about the lack of contractual protection for health data, AIDs data, genetic information, domestic violence and sexual assault victim information, among other sensitive information. The Forum suggested the city undertake an independent and thorough risk assessment prior to completing the contract, and suggested a robust public comment process that includes all stakeholders. The City will take up the issue of this contract at a city council Information Technology Committee meeting on Tuesday July 21. The World Privacy Forum published a detailed analysis of the privacy issues of cloud computing in February which outlines the challenges and ambiguities that governments and others face as they make decisions about what data to put in the cloud.

Flickr photo of the day: Road of apostles

“The Twelve Apostles,” located a few degrees south of the 38th parallel, where the cold and tempestuous waters of the Bass Strait crash against Australia’s southernmost shore, are some of the most famous rock formations in the world.

Although there are only nine when the Great Ocean Road – from Torquay to Warrnambool – was being built in 1922, “The Twelve Apostles” sounded like a good name to attract tourists. Before then the 150-foot-tall formations were known as The Sow and Piglets.

Singaporean photographer Jonathan Garcia captured this aerial view of the Great Road and several of the apostles.
