This week we are talking about Ms. Nelson who attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Seattle Pacific University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Conversation & Environmental Sciences and a Masters in Teaching with a focus on Math & Science. Ms. Nelson chose UW-Milwaukee because she loved the vibrant mix of cultures in Milwaukee and the University offered a really urban setting with a focus on research. Interesting fact UWM has almost 30,000 but the main campus only takes up 4 square city blocks it’s a vertical campus!

Hey Grizzlies today's quote of the day is..

“Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up” Jesse Jackson

Be Kind, Be Honest, Be Proud. Be a Grizzly, Have a great day!
