Received May 14, 2020: Attached is a WSG Certificate of Nomination for you, and below is your nomination recommendation that was sent in to us. Professor Oravec was an outstanding professor in the classroom; however, I was amazed at how helpful she was outside of the classroom as well. She went above and beyond by editing my scholarship essays and writing additional letters of recommendation. She was always pleased to do more when I asked, and I am extremely thankful for her work.

Cyberbullying Project... University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and community

Whitewater, WI and Janesville, WI

WHITEWATER, Nov 11, 2010 (The Janesville Gazette - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- UW-Whitewater launched a new campaign this week to combat a growing "epidemic" that has raised concern on college campuses across the nation. Jo Ann Oravec, associate professor of information technology and business education, said the Whitewater Ends Bullying initiative is one that developed after the suicide of a Rutgers student earlier this fall. The program is designed to raise awareness of bullying issues and provide an outlet for victims to seek help. "Cyberbullying has become an epidemic," said Oravec, who has been researching the issue since 2003. "So many aspects of technology make it possible for bullies to inflict pain upon victims.
