GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Local middle schoolers are getting a small taste of the college life.
UW-Green Bay is welcoming 16-hundred fifth graders to its campus this week as part of its ‘Phuture Phoenix’ program.
Program Director Mary Sue Lavin says the annual offering lets kids tour the campus, attend classes, and get advice from current UWGB students.
“The fifth graders when they leave, they know somebody at UWGB, and that’s super important; they have that mentor, they have that role model, they have somebody they aspire to be like, and we think that really helps.”
More than 300 college students are volunteering at the event.
