What would George Washington Do?
March 15 | 5-7pm
Live Stream
“What Would George Washington Do” explores our first president’s multi-faceted career and his legacies as a political leader, diplomat, businessman, and cultural figure and the relevance of his accomplishments in 2022.
Featuring the findings of four leading Washington scholars, this panel will move beyond the “marble man” image of Washington to discuss his efforts to launch the Constitution and ensure the successful launching of the new American Republic. His efforts weren’t limited to the political arena; they also included achievements on the battlefield, as an entrepreneur, and as a planter. The panelists will highlight their recent books and then engage in a conversation with each other and the audience.

Faculty Highlight: Dr. Sahar Bahmani
Professor of Finance Dr. Sahar Bahmani has authored a paper on stock market returns and income inequality in the U.S. that has been accepted to the Global Finance Journal.
Dr. Bahmani’s publication is titled, “Stock Returns and Income Inequality: Asymmetric Evidence from State Level Data in the U.S.” In her assessment, Dr. Bahmani used linear and nonlinear models to assess the impact of stock returns on income equality in the U.S.
“When we used income inequality data from the U.S., as a whole, we only found un-equalizing effects of stock returns in the short run,” she explained. “However, when we estimated the models for each state individually, the linear model yielded significant short-run effects in 38 states that lasted into the long run in 17 states. The numbers increased to 42 and 24, respectively, when we estimated the nonlinear mode.”
Dr. Bahmani has taught a DV (diversity) course titled, Discrimination in Banking, at UW-Parkside for the past five years, which she says informed the research for her paper on the stock market. In her accepted article, Bahmani explains the link to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
"As developments in the financial markets provide channels through which public savings are transmitted to investment," she said. "However, those who earn a lower income have little to no savings and therefore are unable to invest."

Mask Update!
Dear Parkside Community,
Given the steady decline in COVID-19 cases across the state and in our local communities, changes in CDC guidance, and low case counts on campus, the UW-Parkside indoor mask mandate will expire at 11:59 pm on Friday, March 18. The wearing of masks will be optional indoors, except in the Student Health & Counseling Center where they will continue to be required, effective March 19 in line with the beginning of our Spring Break.
We recognize that many of our campus community members may choose to continue wearing masks and we strongly support their choice to do so. It is important for all of us to respect individual decisions as we aren’t always privy to others’ personal or family members’ health issues.
Thanks to a high rate of vaccinations and the commitment of our campus community to following health and safety measures, we have kept our infection rates low, even during the recent surge of the omicron variant. Masks will continue to be available on campus along with testing at Ranger Clinic and vaccines and boosters through the Student Health & Counseling Center.
Thank you for your continued efforts to respect and support one another as we adapt to the impacts of this global pandemic. The University will continue to monitor the situation and we reserve the right to modify COVID protocols in the future based on local conditions.
Renee Kirby
Director of Student Health, Counseling and Accessibility Services

Faculty and staff, please share information with students whom you are working with and you feel have an independent or class-based project that is ready to present at the UW-Parkside Student Showcase.
UW-Parkside Student Showcase 2022:

Where: Student Center (Ballroom and adjacent rooms)
Student Showcase Registration and Abstract Submission:
Deadline: Friday March 18 (by end of day)
Abstract Length: Maximum of 200 - 250 words (as measured by number of characters).
The UW-Parkside Student Showcase is a campus-wide event in which all UW-Parkside students (undergraduate and graduate students) involved in student-faculty collaborative research, scholarship, community-based learning (CBL), Poetry/Prose Readings, Oral Interpretations, and creative activities (performances, exhibits, etc...) are encouraged to participate.
A project can from any number of diverse types of projects in or outside of a course. Submissions may include independent scholarly work for any major, from any department conducted with a faculty/academic staff mentor. Submissions may also include a project associated with a course, an internship, or a community-based learning (CBL) program. Additionally, it could be a project conducted during the current spring semester, or it could have been done and completed the previous fall or summer.
Types of student presentations to choose from (can be more than one):
- Posters of independent research, creative activity, class-based scholarly, internship, or CBL projects
- Professional Portfolios (tables to be provided) to display portfolios in art, business, theatre design/technology, capstone projects, or creative works
- Oral presentations (15 minutes) of independent and class-based scholarly, CBL, internship, or capstone projects
- Readings of poetry, prose, speeches, or oral interpretations
- Short performances in music, theatre arts, project-based videos/movies
Note, students planning to present at both the UW-Parkside Student Showcase AND the UW-Symposium can present the same work (talk, poster, creative work, etc...). In fact, the Showcase event is scheduled a few days prior to the UW-Symposium to provide a "warm up" for students who might be nervous about presenting at a larger conference.
For more information, contact Professor of Biological Sciences David Higgs,(higgs@uwp.edu).
