Tonight & Saturday: It’s all about alumni

Alumni Day at the Basketball Games Feb. 4!

Starting tonight and continuing Saturday afternoon, alumni rule at UW-Parkside. Stop by the Racine Marriott tonight for an evening of networking and come to the SAC Saturday for great basketball and great fun.

Today at 5 p.m., alumni and friends can join the after-work scene for mingling and networking at the third of the UW-Parkside Alumni Association's popular new "Alumni After Hours" gatherings this time in the 20 & Oakes Room at the Racine Marriott. Included on the agenda are door prizes, complimentary appetizers and beverages offered at happy-hour prices. The party goes until 7 p.m.  The Marriott is located at 7111 Washington Avenue (Highway 20) in Racine.

Then it's family, fun, and basketball during "Alumni Day at the Basketball Games" Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Sports and Activity Center. Alumni and families are treated to free admission to the Ranger men's and women's basketball games against conference rival Northern Kentucky. Have a chili lunch at noon then "Tailgate with the Chancellor" with brats and burgers during the afternoon, along with a special opportunity to shop for Ranger gear at the campus bookstore in the Student Center, where special discounts are available.

The family tailgate party takes place in the Frank J. Petretti Fieldhouse Overlook area in the SAC, beginning with a welcome from Chancellor Debbie Ford and Alumni Association President Jim Kramer. Also on tap for the afternoon are Coach's Chalk Talks, a kids' area with Ranger Bear (bring your cameras) and other fun activities, prize drawings, a 50/50 raffle, and much more.

We ask that alumni and their families register for Saturday's event by calling Alumni Relations Manager Peppy O'Neill at 262-595-2233 or access oneillp@uwp.edu by email.
