The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Manitowoc Campus will hold its annual Commencement ceremony today at 6:30 p.m. in the campus Theatre. Sixty-four students earned two-year degrees from the Manitowoc Campus during the 2018-19 academic year, many of whom will be participating in the ceremony. An alumnus of the Green Bay Campus (formerly UW-Manitowoc), Dean Halverson, will deliver the address. Halverson is founder and CEO of a full-service marketing research firm, Leede Research Group, with offices in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Lue Vang, a 2017 graduate of Manitowoc Lincoln High School, has been selected to address his graduating class as Student Speaker. In a response to fee shortfalls, Vang took it upon himself to spearhead a number of fundraising initiatives that supported student success. Lue is also a volunteer with Hmong Senior Meals: A Gesture of Love, a local program geared toward helping Hmong senior citizens navigate the world.
