Members of Delta Epsilon Phi (the German Honor Society) attended Acacia Theater's performance of We Will Not Be Silent on Sunday, March 19th. The play tells the story of Hans and Sophie Scholl, whose Munich student group The White Rose attempted to topple the Nazi Regime. At the talkback, DEP members were able to share their experiences learning about the Scholls while touring Munich on our 2022 GAPP Exchange.

Nicolet had an excellent showing at the Badger State Science and Engineering Fair (BSSEF) last Saturday! Ethan Zentner earned a Grand Award at BSSEF (one of three top winners overall), winning a spot to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) May 14th-19th in Dallas, TX. Because Ethan won the Nicolet Fair and a spot to ISEF for a second time, this opened up another opportunity for a Nicolet student to attend the international competition. The BSSEF judges recommended Jason Shao as he was ranked 4th overall at BSSEF, so Jason will also be joining Ethan in May! Alex Anoma, Jason Shao, Ivan Rivera-Mendez, Ziddane Isahaku, and Ethan Zentner all earned specialty awards. (Ethan won two and Ziddane walked away with six)! One of Ziddane's awards, the Genius Olympiad Award, earned him an opportunity to travel and compete at a special competition in NYC this summer. Many of the students earned cash prizes with their awards as well! The Category Awards earned are: Grant Probst - 2nd in Behavioral Sciences Jacob Byers - 1st in Biology Ethan Zentner - 2nd in Engineering Jason Shao - 1st in Health Sciences And a HUGE shout out to all the faculty and staff members who contributed in one way or another to the success of the students and the Science Fair; Steph Rasmussen, Andi Winkle, Jeff Houck, Dave Quam, Sarah Richter, Kelly Pierzchala, Adam Thiel, Andy Weber, Michael Dicks, Kelly Wendel, Mike McKenna, Joe Patek, Tony and Marisol and the rest of the custodial staff and all the others that played a role in helping the kids with their projects. It was an amazing team effort!.

Kelly Wendel and Jeff Houck were spotted spreading a bit of Irish luck and some wee treats to staff and students in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
