Congratulations to the former Mauthe Center student staff members who just graduated from UWGB!

Pictured below are Adriana Boesen and Zakaria Kassim. Zakaria's many sashes reflect his international experience and academic achievements. He is standing with professors Cristina Ortiz and David Coury, both in Global Studies and both Affiliate Faculty members at the Mauthe Center.

Adriana was honored with the Chancellor’s Leadership Medallion Award — presented to only 16 students in the graduating class in recognition of their significant contributions to campus and the surrounding community while maintaining high standards of academic excellence and student leadership. Well deserved!

Congratulations also to Jasmine Puls, who received a University Leadership Award, and Yazlyn Zehra!!

We enjoyed a terrific presentation last night by Isaac Butler! Presenting the Harvey Kaye State of Democracy Lecture, he spoke on, "[EXPLETIVE DELETED]: The Culture Wars and the Future of Freedom of Expression." We won't be able to post a recording of this event, but we encourage you to pre-order Isaac's book on this topic, which will be released in June (https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/perfect-moment-9781639733514/). In the meantime, here are some photos from last night (thanks to Angela Austin Photography https://www.angelaaustinphotography.com/)!
