Welcome from the Foundation

Dear Blue Hawk Family, Greetings from the DSU Heritage Foundation! We made it to 2021 and are so happy to finally see some of our alumni and friends.

I am happy to serve as your alumni contact at the DSU Heritage Foundation. I have been a part of the Blue Hawk Family since 1996 when I arrived on campus as a freshman. Raised in the wide-open spaces of northeastern Montana and being a proud Medicine Lake Honker, I was the baby of the family. A first-generation college student who was ready to spread her wings. I remember going to the college fair every fall and picking up materials from the college representatives. I’d bring the bag of materials home and look thru it. I quickly knew I was going to attend college in North Dakota because it was more affordable compared to staying instate. However, I listened to the advice of my parents to attend a college a little closer to home and smaller in size. I chose Dickinson State University because they offered a concentration in Banking and Finance and I only knew one other person who went to school here.

Little did I know back then that decision would impact my life.

It’s been my home away from home for the past 25 years. I’ve met thousands of people in that time. My job title has changed several times in that time, but the people I continue to meet is one thing that makes me wake up and love coming to work every day. Everyone has a story and that’s what makes that connection with them even better.

As we get ready to finish out another academic year, I would like to extend an invitation to our alumni to bring their children to follow in your footsteps. Schedule a campus visit. Come and

see some of those familiar faces on campus. The smaller campus with the one-on-one attention is what this great college has to offer. Tell the stories about your glory days and reminisce about the days spent in May Hall.

As alumni of Dickinson State University, I encourage you to help us grow. Look at giving back by making a charitable gift donation. The gift can be given back to the department in which you graduated or even to a team/club that you were a part of.

Enclosed you will find an envelope that will make the gifting easier.

As we grow as a foundation, we are expanding out events. We will be in the Bismarck area for our Fourth Annual DSU Alumni & Friends Golf Scramble on Tuesday, July 20 at Riverwood Golf Course. We are looking at adding another outreach event in the Williston area this summer as well. Along with that, we invite all alumni and friends to participate in our Homecoming festivities October 7-9.

The time spent at the College on the Hill made some great friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Thanks for making my time at Dickinson State University a great one!

Sincerely,

Alicia Erickson Development Officer – Academics & Alumni

Welcome from the President 2020 Hindsights: A Year in Review at Dickinson State University

by DSU President Steve Easton In a letter to John Hay, American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, London, on June 7, 1897, Theodore Roosevelt penned a phrase embracing the virtues of a strenuous life, where one dares mighty things in the face of adversity.

The year 2020 was the beginning of a new decade.

Thus, the year dawned with hope. Soon thereafter, this hope was challenged by a worldwide pandemic.

As the year progressed, the word “unprecedented” was used commonly in the world as a whole and at DSU. But DSU is indeed a place where we dare mightily in the face of adversity. It has been heartwarming to see the hard work of all involved with DSU in response to the challenges of 2020. Thank you to all, from alumni and other supporters to students, who made 2020 memorable in positive ways. Those of us who love DSU have a lot to be proud of, as our “college on the hill” has had many accomplishments this year, despite the pandemic. I’d like to share a few of them.

Increasing Enrollment Despite nationwide college enrollment being down by 4%, Dickinson State University fall enrollment increased by more than 90 students to its head count this fall, compared to the fall of 2019. Full-time enrolled students increased 4%, while our head count enrollment increased more than 6%. All of these figures are the largest increases among the eleven North Dakota University System institutions.

Our recruiting team did a great job in a tough environment last spring where we were not able to meet many of our potential students in person. Other members of our staff, our coaches, our faculty, our students, and our alumni and other supporters also did great work. Thank you for your efforts and for your support of Dickinson State. We are pleased that there are so many students who will get the benefit of a DSU education.

Dual Mission The dual mission committee worked with local and educational partners to bring new opportunities to Dickinson. Last year, DSU brought welding and CNA training to Dickinson. Building upon this, the first commercial truck driver training class was held this fall.

The University also expanded certificate, associate, and graduate program offerings.

Beginning fall 2020, there are six new associate degree programs including elementary education, secondary education and substance abuse counseling, and five new certificate programs including banking, digital communication, digital marking, music and theatre.

DSU also added a master’s degree with a focus on athletic educational leadership. The certificate, associate, and graduate offerings now available at DSU provide additional pathways for educational and professional preparation for those in our region.

THE HERITAGE | SPRING 2021

Welcome from the President Working with the Dickinson Public School system and other area schools, we also started an innovative early entry program that brought 40 students to the DSU campus this fall to start their college educations while still in high school.

We are also working with these partners on a proposed Career and Technical Education academy that will help train area high school and post-secondary students in fields like welding, truck driving, diesel mechanics, CNA and other health care careers, and possibly even robotics.

As you may have heard, the Dickinson Public School system has purchased, for $6 million, the $60+ million former Halliburton property, which will be the home of the CTE Center for southwest North Dakota. We are working with Dickinson Public Schools and other area schools and businesses to provide new educational opportunities. This will be a big boost to our Dual Mission efforts.

Classroom Innovation This spring’s COVID-forced move to (almost) all remote delivery of classes happened quickly. Our students, faculty, and staff did a great job of converting, without any real notice, from face-to-face to remotely delivered courses.

All who are associated with DSU should be proud that students continued to learn and faculty continued to teach, despite this change.

Over the summer and into the fall, the CARES Act provided funds for cameras and dual computer monitors in almost all of our classrooms. This allowed us to convert to a “hybrid-flex” modality this fall, where most classes were offered in three modes: face-to-face, synchronous remote delivery, and asynchronous remote delivery (for students who were not able to access classes during scheduled class times). Concerns related to COVID-19 required this change, as we needed to provide a way for students who were isolated or quarantined to keep up with their course work.

The new equipment in our classrooms and a semester of teaching in this modality provides exciting opportunities for the future.

While DSU will almost certainly always be an institution that teaches the majority of its students on campus, we now are able to offer opportunities for those who cannot come to campus to pursue their college educations. As we sensed the shift to this modified teaching and learning environment, we worked with Learning Corps, LLC, a group of remote learning experts, to maximize the student learning experience in the new hybridflex environment. Nine of our faculty members earned Learning Corps’ Master Teacher in Resilient Teaching and Learning Certificate, by working on this distinction during the fall semester. Other faculty also benefitted from Learning Corps’ expertise in remote instruction.

DSUHERITAGEFOUNDATION.ORG

DSU Heritage Foundation

As we look forward to the day when COVID-19 is behind us, we are excited about teaching those who cannot come to campus. We are also excited about the diversity of experiences they can bring to our traditional on-campus students. Imagine, for example, a remote adult learner who can say, in a class discussion, “That issue came up last month at my workplace.” The future is bright for both on-campus and remote access Blue Hawks!

Campus Life While many colleges and universities continued all (or mostly) online classes this fall, Dickinson State provided face-to-face classes until Thanksgiving. In addition, we were able to provide many opportunities for our students to experience campus life that, while not “normal,” was closer to normal than pretty much any other college or university.

Our student life staff organized both online and in-person events, including a homecoming concert that reached nearly 2,000 people on the internet, two trips to the Medora Musical, a s’mores night at our recently completed Centennial Plaza, movies in a state-of-the-art theater purchased this year with student fees via a Student Senate initiative (making ours one of the few campuses with its own movie theater), barbecues and backyard sports, dueling pianos, and many others. Our theatre students presented four performances of the witty “Almost Maine,” using clear face shields and strategically placed microphones. Our music faculty and students presented several choral and instrumental concerts.

Our varsity esports team continues to have a strong showing at the national level. Our students are enjoying the ability to connect with one another on these platforms. Our rodeo team had a strong season and hosted the Blue Hawk Stampede this fall.

On the intercollegiate athletic competition front, we had crosscountry, volleyball, and football seasons. Through a combination of hard work by coaches and student-athletes, diligent attention to health safety measures, and a bit of good luck, we played a full season of nine football games. And we won all nine of them for Coach Pete Stanton’s sixth straight conference championship.

Indeed, at various points in the season, DSU had the distinction of being the only 6-0, the only 7-0, the only 8-0, and the only 9-0 pro or college (at any level) football team in the country!

Bottom line: It was not a “normal” fall, as all events featured masks and social distancing, but it was a good one nonetheless.

High Rankings It is important not to take college rankings too seriously, as it is not possible to factor the many features of a college or program into a ranking rubric. So take the following with the grain of salt that it deserves. But a high ranking, while never precisely correct because precision is impossible, is a sign that a program is among the best.

The past year saw various organizations noting DSU’s strength in various areas.

Paying Back Tough times have a way of identifying those who are willing to help others in need. Our state, our region, and our city have always been big supporters of DSU. As always, but perhaps even a bit more than usual due to the pandemic, DSU paid back this year by helping our community.

In the early days of the pandemic, when PPE for health care workers was in very short supply, our nursing department was able to send some of its supply to the Southwestern District Heath Unit. Our students and staff helped with another critical health care need by sponsoring and organizing several blood drives. Our Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program scholars held a successful food drive this fall. Our Student Senate is organizing a program to deliver groceries and other needed supplies to those in isolation or quarantine.

THE HERITAGE | SPRING 2021

Resilient Teaching and COVID

DSU Heritage Foundation

Just before 2020’s spring break, Dickinson State faculty learned we would be teaching online for the rest of the semester, the result of COVID-19. Come Fall 2020, everyone – faculty, staff, administrators, and students – knew we were again facing the possibility of online courses, depending on COVID’s effects on our area.

President Stephen Easton, VP for Academic Affairs/Provost Debora Dragseth, and other DSU personnel determined that DSU’s best Fall 2020 option was to take advantage of “hy-flex” as well as “hybrid” teaching. Hybrid teaching and learning integrates online and face-to-face experiences to ensure the achievement of educational objectives. Hy-flex courses take this mode further by integrating flexible learning opportunities.

Students have the option to participate in face-to-face course sessions, synchronous online sessions, and/or asynchronous videotaped sessions, depending on what works best for them. A student might start the semester in a face-to-face classroom, for example, and then join online later in the semester, should that student contract COVID-19 and need to quarantine.

Dickinson State is already deeply invested in online and hybrid teaching, but hy-flex course work was new for at least some faculty. Enter the Learning Corps, LLC. Higher education specialists Dr. Maggi Murdock, Dr. Liz Simpson, Rachel Watson, and Dr. Christi Boggs offered pre-semester and weekly workshops, gave participants the opportunity to gain “Master Teacher in Resilient Learning and Teaching” certificates, and asked professors to share their work during end-of-the-semester brown bag luncheons.

At the November 10 brown bag event, Shawna Egli (Mathematics and Computer Science), Kostas Voutsas (School of Business and Entrepreneurship), Wynter Miller (Multicultural Affairs), and Dr. Deborah Secord, Pamela Krueger, and Dr. Joan Aus (Teacher Education) discussed active learning, diverse learning methods, tools for collaboration, and the development of meaningful student-teacher and student-to-student relationships in online classrooms. The enthusiasm in this first discussion session was irresistible. “I love teaching this way,” said Deborah Secord after sharing ideas for checking students’ content understanding and comfort levels. Her co-presenter Pam Krueger spoke about the importance of ensuring that the “human connection” is present in all aspects of an online course. Joan Aus, DSU’s new department chair for Teacher Education, put a cap on their presentation, discussing studies that support hy-flex education’s ability to “help close the achievement gap” and “promote inclusion … and retention.”

DSUHERITAGEFOUNDATION.ORG

On November 17, Staci Green (Stoxen Library), Dr. Cheryl Lantz (Nursing), Michelle Stevier-Johanson (Arts and Sciences), and Toby Stroh (Agriculture and Technical Studies) focused on effective strategies for online library instruction, suggestions for engaging learners across diverse learning environments, the advantages of online individual writing conferences, and students’ perspectives on online learning. Cheryl Lantz’s presentation, for instance, focused on students’ deep learning of course material. She also offered fantastic ideas for small group work within a hy-flex class.

As a result of these supportive workshops and the opportunity to learn together as a faculty, we move into Spring 2021 with optimism, resilience, and a wealth of new ideas. Whatever 2021 has in store for us, we are more than ready!

Come Fall 2020, everyone – faculty, staff, administrators, and students – knew we were again facing the possibility of online courses, depending on COVID’s effects on our area.

President Stephen Easton, VP for Academic Affairs/Provost Debora Dragseth, and other DSU personnel determined that DSU’s best Fall 2020 option was to take advantage of “hy-flex” as well as “hybrid” teaching. Hybrid teaching and learning integrates online and face-to-face experiences to ensure the achievement of educational objectives. Hy-flex courses take this mode further by integrating flexible learning opportunities.

Students have the option to participate in face-to-face course sessions, synchronous online sessions, and/or asynchronous videotaped sessions, depending on what works best for them. A student might start the semester in a face-to-face classroom, for example, and then join online later in the semester, should that student contract COVID-19 and need to quarantine.

Dickinson State is already deeply invested in online and hybrid teaching, but hy-flex course work was new for at least some faculty. Enter the Learning Corps, LLC. Higher education specialists Dr. Maggi Murdock, Dr. Liz Simpson, Rachel Watson, and Dr. Christi Boggs offered pre-semester and weekly workshops, gave participants the opportunity to gain “Master Teacher in Resilient Learning and Teaching” certificates, and asked professors to share their work during end-of-the-semester brown bag luncheons.

At the November 10 brown bag event, Shawna Egli (Mathematics and Computer Science), Kostas Voutsas (School of Business and Entrepreneurship), Wynter Miller (Multicultural Affairs), and Dr. Deborah Secord, Pamela Krueger, and Dr. Joan Aus (Teacher Education) discussed active learning, diverse learning methods, tools for collaboration, and the development of meaningful student-teacher and student-to-student relationships in online classrooms. The enthusiasm in this first discussion session was irresistible. “I love teaching this way,” said Deborah Secord after sharing ideas for checking students’ content understanding and comfort levels. Her co-presenter Pam Krueger spoke about the importance of ensuring that the “human connection” is present in all aspects of an online course. Joan Aus, DSU’s new department chair for Teacher Education, put a cap on their presentation, discussing studies that support hy-flex education’s ability to “help close the achievement gap” and “promote inclusion … and retention.”

On November 17, Staci Green (Stoxen Library), Dr. Cheryl Lantz (Nursing), Michelle Stevier-Johanson (Arts and Sciences), and Toby Stroh (Agriculture and Technical Studies) focused on effective strategies for online library instruction, suggestions for engaging learners across diverse learning environments, the advantages of online individual writing conferences, and students’ perspectives on online learning. Cheryl Lantz’s presentation, for instance, focused on students’ deep learning of course material. She also offered fantastic ideas for small group work within a hy-flex class.

As a result of these supportive workshops and the opportunity to learn together as a faculty, we move into Spring 2021 with optimism, resilience, and a wealth of new ideas. Whatever 2021 has in store for us, we are more than ready!

Dickinson State University (DSU) formally welcomed Stephen D. Easton, J.D. as its 13th president during a ceremony in May Hall’s Dorothy Stickney Auditorium Friday, Oct. 9, 2020. A number of distinguished guests addressed the audience and welcomed the new president, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. State Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner and State House Representative Mike Lefor, both alumni of Dickinson State, welcomed their fellow alumnus to the role of president.

“The Dickinson State University Blue Hawk family, including alumni, students, faculty, and staff is proud to host an investiture ceremony to formally welcome Stephen Easton back to Dickinson State as our president,” said Dr. Debora Dragseth, provost and vice president of academic affairs at DSU. “In the short time that he and his wife, Marivern, have been in the community, their energy, enthusiasm, and eagerness to engage is evident.”

In my life I have had many challenges. You are facing some now. But I learned that they can be handled. In doing so, I found it important to remember that integrity is a person’s most important character attribute in handling the challenges and that small things do make a difference.

You can do it, too.

Dickinson State University students are navigating a semester like no other. Gatherings are limited in size; masks are part of their wardrobe; student meetings are often on Zoom, and some are taking classes remotely while in isolation or quarantine. Our students are being asked to learn in new and creative ways, and that can be challenging. As Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, I admire their resiliency as they continue to learn, lead, and foster lifelong relationships with their classmates and professors.

President Easton, who graduated summa cum laude from DSU in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a minor in business administration, has a strong personal connection to the University as the third generation of his family to study at the “College on the Hill.”

Nathaniel Easton, the president’s son and fellow Blue Hawk alumnus, also spoke during the ceremony. Nathaniel, who, as President Easton says, goes by “Nate” only in Dickinson, is one of the founders of the Hawk Talk show produced by the DSU Heritage Foundation. He was also instrumental in popularizing the phrase “Hawks are up!”, a sort of rallying-cry that is used heavily in the Blue Hawk community. Nate was among the last to speak during the ceremony and shared his experiences in growing up under the guidance of a lawyer, one of President Easton’s former professions. Nate focused on the loyalty and service to DSU that has run in their family for generations.

President Stephen D. Easton, J.D. was then presented with the chain of office by Nick Hacker, chair of the State Board of Higher Education, and Lisa Johnson, vice chancellor for Academic & Student Affairs for the North Dakota University System.

A recording of the ceremony is available on YouTube at www. youtube.com/user/dickinsonstateu and photos can be found on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/dickinsonstateuniversity/ albums.

After earning his undergraduate degree at DSU, Easton enrolled in Stanford Law School where he earned his Juris Doctorate in 1983. Easton practiced law for more than 20 years before returning to higher education as a professor and administrator.

Although so much has changed, what remains the same is that we all thrive when we connect with one another. Our students chose Dickinson State University because they wanted to be a part of a close and caring community.

When this experience, uniquely your own, is over you’ll look back and be glad you didn’t give up, and you’ll see how extraordinary you are!

We reached out to alumni, faculty, and staff and asked them to share an encouraging message with our students. We were so overwhelmed with the thoughtful and inspiring messages, we wanted to share some of them here with you. Once a Blue Hawk, always a Blue Hawk!

When you consider that you are the most uniquely qualified generation to navigate these rapid changes, not only in the classroom but in your personal lives, you know that you are not only capable of succeeding, but also that you will flourish. As students, you have been thrown different opportunities to learn using the technology you are accustomed to in your daily lives. Please do not doubt your abilities.

When I walked on to DSU campus as a college freshman, I never would have guessed I would still be here today. Dickinson State University means so much more to me than an institution of higher learning. Here, in a town that I love, I found friendships and my first job. Given such opportunity, I discovered leadership skills and improved them to a new level. My hope is that all students find the same kinds of connections that I found. Uncover the leader and become the person you dream of being, and anytime you need an “aunt” to talk to, feel free to swing by my office at the DSU Heritage Foundation. I am here to help you succeed.

Forever a Blue Hawk!

It has been said that the only constant in life is change. Those words carry additional meaning during times like this when so many aspects of life are calling for us to adjust, to change, and to transform. As students, you were already well into the process of change – experiencing growth through academic involvement and through the maturity that comes from stepping out into the world to pursue your dreams.

This pandemic has proven beyond any doubt that you possess singular tenacity and proven creativity in adjusting to shifting times and expectations, to a world that has been altered by radical circumstances that ultimately remind us of change as that constant. These haven’t been normal times, and certainly they haven’t been easy. I continue to marvel at how dedicated you remain in pursuing your education. Know that the faculty and staff at Dickinson State University – and throughout the North Dakota University System – remain dedicated to helping you through whatever change remains on the horizon.

Mark R. Hagerott, Ph.D. Chancellor, North Dakota University System

It was a 400-mile drive from my hometown in Minnesota to Dickinson State. I was that somewhat rare student who never went home for weekends, but I did take a dozen or so round trips over those miles at the beginnings and ends of school years and Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring breaks.

The drive I remember best, because it was pretty awful, was at the end of Christmas break my junior year, heading back to DSC (as it was called in those days) during one of those horrible blizzards that only people from our part of the world would be foolish enough to drive in. The windshield on my old car kept fogging up and freezing over, so I had to keep stopping to scrape it off. Slowly but surely, I got closer to Dickinson. Somewhere west of New Salem, one of the front tires started thumping, so I pulled over again, hoping against hope that nothing was wrong.

Sure enough, the tire was flat. Of course, the spare tire was flat, too. (I never did take good enough care of that car: College student budget realities.) So there I sat, on the side of the road in the middle of a blizzard, with a flat tire, a worthless spare, and no way to get hold of anyone to help. (This was long before cell phones.)

As I sat there, very much alone, getting colder by the minute, I started to think, “Maybe it’s a sign that I’m on the wrong path.

Maybe I should be somewhere else. Somewhere warmer!” And I started to wonder if I were ever going to get out of this mess I had made for myself.

Then somebody drove up next to my old car and stopped. He cranked down his passenger side window and waved me inside.

He looked a little scraggly and, frankly, scary. I remembered all the things I had been told about staying out of strangers’ cars and all those scary movies I had seen, but what option did I have? So I got in, wondering if doing so might be one more bad decision in a long series of bad decisions that got me here, but perhaps also the last bad decision I would ever make.

As we headed down the road, I started to talk to the man, hoping a bit of friendly conversation might convince him not to slash me to death, if that was his original plan. He didn’t say a thing.

I asked him another question, and he still didn’t say a thing. He

DSU Heritage Foundation just stared blankly ahead at the road in front of him, looking even scarier. Dark thoughts buzzed through my head. Maybe I really was in the wrong place. Almost out of hope, I tried one more time, with a third friendly question.

Nothing.

Then it hit me: This guy wasn’t menacing. He was deaf.

He waved his hands to show he was friendly. Then I waved my hands in my best attempt to gesture “thank you.” The two of us drove silently west on I-94, waving our hands intermittently in our best approximation of a conversation.

After I somehow communicated the exit I needed him to take, he dropped me at a gas station in Dickinson, then got back on the interstate. I used the pay phone to call a friend who picked me up and took me to my DSC home. The same friend drove me east on I-94 the next morning, helped me dig out my car and fix the spare, and followed me back to Dickinson.

And the wonders of college life continued.

It turned out that many good things were ahead of me. In that last year and a half at Dickinson State, I got cast in three lead roles in plays, played varsity golf, and actually won a contested election for Student Senate. I received a great accounting education, and then passed the CPA exam. After I graduated, I headed off to law school.

The time at the side of the road with a flat tire in a blizzard was not the last time of despair in my life. But when I have other moments of despair, I remember that time and it helps me get through whatever trouble I am in at the moment. I will never know who my Good Samaritan was, but I will always have a place in my heart for my scraggly guardian angel who got me back on what most definitely was the right path for me— Dickinson State.

Hang in there. Nobody likes tough times when they are in them.

But if you fight through them and stay the course, there can be some mighty good things waiting to happen for you, especially if the right people come along to help.

Academics Alumna Watson One of DSU’s Finest Resources

by Michelle Stevier-Johanson Monica Watson has one of the friendliest and most familiar faces at Dickinson State University. Even before she graduated with her psychology (’06) and mathematics (’09) degrees, her skills in her majors and her love for helping others led her to become a sought-after paraprofessional tutor in DSU’s Academic Success Center. Soon after graduation, Monica accepted a teaching position with the Mathematics and Computer Science department. Here, she was every bit as popular an instructor as she had been a tutor. This past fall, Monica accepted a new position at Dickinson State: She is the professional adviser and tutoring center specialist in the Student Opportunity and Resource Center (SOAR).

Monica’s new position is ideally suited for her. While she worked as a paraprofessional tutor, she also advised incoming DSU students. From Fall 2018 to Spring 2020, Monica served as the chair of Dickinson State’s General Education committee. This committee, which oversees, supports, and works to improve core courses, is central to DSU’s mission. Monica is not a new hand at the job of training and supervising tutors, either. For years, she offered large group tutoring sessions and helped new tutors learn the ropes.

When asked what she enjoys most about her new job, Monica responded immediately: “There’s just nothing as satisfying as helping students.” Working with students is clearly a calling for Monica, and she has a special gift for assisting students who doubt their abilities or struggle with a particular subject. “I love working with students who think they hate math,” Monica said, “and then you see that light bulb go on. The student says, ‘Oh, I finally get it!’ That’s just the best moment, that ‘Aha!’

TRHLP Students Maintain Dedication Amid COVID Constraints This academic year has already had several challenges for DSU’s students, and one group of students has demonstrated their flexibility and leadership skills during this pandemic. The students in the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program, TRHLP, have been very adept at navigating through the twists and turns that developed and will continue to develop.

PAGE 16

DSU Heritage Foundation moment.” Monica also has a soft spot for nontraditional students since she was one herself.

From the time she was a student through today, Monica has considered Dickinson State part of who she is. She sees her employment here as an opportunity to do what she loves while she gives back to the professors, staff, and colleagues who have given so much to her. “I started college at age 27,” Monica said, “and I had some serious health problems along the way. When I needed support, DSU was there for me. All my professors were just so helpful.”

As an alumna and a gifted teacher, adviser, and tutoring specialist, Monica is one of DSU’s best resources. “When I was a tutor,” Monica noted, “I worked hard to make sure students knew about the Academic Success Center and took advantage of what it offered.” It’s clear that Monica is still working hard and bringing her many talents and energy to her new role at the SOAR Center, which has replaced the Academic Success Center.

Right now, she’s busy helping DSU students work through the challenges of college during COVID-19. When most of DSU’s classes went online after Thanksgiving break, Monica made sure that students who needed tutors still had access to them in a variety of venues, both online and face-to-face. “North Dakota and even DSU has gone to red,” Monica said. “Everyone should know that the Tutoring Center is fully open, fully operational!”

The TR students ordinarily host two events in the fall to raise money for local charities, but because of the pandemic, the TRs altered their plans, while still maintaining their dedication to service learning. For the past five years, the TR students have made wooden projects, (shelves, benches, bars) to auction off during the Homecoming Tailgate, with the funds going to the local Back Pack Program, which helps families in need. However, since the tailgate was canceled this year, these items were offered at the Yuletyme auction instead through a new working arrangement between the TR students DSUHF. Another planned event—an escape room—will take place in Spring 2021.

The TR students quickly realized that they needed to come up with service events that would work within the narrow COVID-19 parameters, be manageable for students in quarantine, and maintain their dedication to service and leadership. Not surprising, the TRs came through, led by the three Student Assistant Directors (SADs) and the Theodore Roosevelt Executive Committee (TREC), which consists of two students from each grade level. The students decided on a food drive for the Amen Food pantry. The TRs have donated food, collected donations and/or dropped off the donations, all easily manageable activities in this new normal. They also advertised the food drive and the Yuletyme auction on their social media platforms. Additionally, they began writing letters of encouragement for the residents of the local retirement communities. These new activities and events demonstrated the

flexibility that is so important to leadership, while keeping with another aspect of the program, dedication to service.

DSU’s Chemistry Program Adds Career-Focused Options

The pre-medical sciences track builds on the chemistry core curriculum by adding the biological science courses needed for a student to successfully apply to medical school. This gives DSU’s medical-school focused students two options for majors – biology and chemistry – both of which can be used as a pathway to a medical career. This option is also great for anyone who plans to attend graduate school to earn an advanced degree in Biochemistry.

by Dr. Corinne Brevik, Department of Natural Sciences Co-Chair The Chemistry Program at Dickinson State University has introduced some exciting new changes in its curriculum this year. The program now offers career-related tracks for students to choose from: professional chemistry, pre-medical sciences, pre-pharmacy, and chemistry with a geology emphasis. While the core of each program is the same, providing a solid chemistry experience for all graduates, additional classes are selected in each track to allow students to fine-tune their learning experience to match their career goals.

DSU’s chemistry program has always been strong, providing its graduates with a high-quality science education upon which they could build a career of their choice. DSU chemistry alumni can be found working in pharmacies, in the energy industry, in chemistry research labs, in chemical engineering positions, and a large variety of other chemistry careers both in North Dakota and around the country. These new career-focused tracks enhance the strengths that already exist in the program.

The professional chemistry track is the more traditional chemistry curriculum, preparing graduates to work in a chemistry lab in a large variety of industries. Graduates from this track are also highly qualified to continue in graduate school should they wish and attain an advanced chemistry degree or become a chemical engineer.

DSUHERITAGEFOUNDATION.ORG

The SADs noted, “Adjusting to the COVID-19 regulations has been a challenge for TRHLP this semester, just like the University as a whole. Although this may have been an inconvenience, it has helped us further build our leadership skills and enhance our communication in the face of adversity. We were fortunate enough to still have been able to host the two service events this semester while keeping our scholars safe. We are thankful for DSU, the Heritage Foundation, and the community who worked with us and to all of the scholars for dedicating their time to show what it means to be a true TR scholar.” Although we all hope that Spring 2021 will include a return to normal, the TRs will undoubtedly continue to adapt and lead to help others.

The pre-pharmacy track has been especially designed to meet the entrance requirements of a variety of pharmacy schools around the region. Graduates will have a strong chemistry foundation with additional coursework chosen to focus on the special topics that they will need to be successful in pharmacy school. DSU is the only four-year, public university in the state that has a specific pre-pharmacy program that leads to a Bachelor’s of Science degree. This is important for student athletes who want to be pharmacists and need to be enrolled in a degree program to be eligible to play sports for the university.

The chemistry with a geology emphasis option is great for students who wish to become chemists in the energy industries around North Dakota. Chemists who work for oil and coal companies, or who work for government agencies who regulate the oil and coal industries, benefit from having both a strong chemistry foundation as well as an understanding of the geology that influences how these resources can be safely and successfully accessed.

DSU is proud to continue to offer the coursework that is needed by the students in our region as they seek to fill the many career opportunities that exist in the upper Midwest.

We are thankful for DSU, the Heritage Foundation, and the community who worked with us and to all of the scholars for dedicating their time to show what it means to be a true TR scholar.” Although we all hope that Spring 2021 will include a return to normal, the TRs will undoubtedly continue to adapt and lead to help others.

The pre-pharmacy track has been especially designed to meet the entrance requirements of a variety of pharmacy schools around the region. Graduates will have a strong chemistry foundation with additional coursework chosen to focus on the special topics that they will need to be successful in pharmacy school. DSU is the only four-year, public university in the state that has a specific pre-pharmacy program that leads to a Bachelor’s of Science degree. This is important for student athletes who want to be pharmacists and need to be enrolled in a degree program to be eligible to play sports for the university.

The chemistry with a geology emphasis option is great for students who wish to become chemists in the energy industries around North Dakota. Chemists who work for oil and coal companies, or who work for government agencies who regulate the oil and coal industries, benefit from having both a strong chemistry foundation as well as an understanding of the geology that influences how these resources can be safely and successfully accessed.

DSU is proud to continue to offer the coursework that is needed by the students in our region as they seek to fill the many career opportunities that exist in the upper Midwest.

Academics DSU’s Dr. Brevik Recognized on Highly Cited Researchers 2020 List Dickinson State University (DSU) is proud to announce that Dr. Eric Brevik, professor of geology and soils, has been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers™ 2020 list from Clarivate in the category of cross-field research.

The greatly anticipated annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple frequently cited papers during the last decade. Their names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science™ citation index.

The methodology that determines the “who’s who” of influential researchers draws on the data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information™ at Clarivate. It also uses the tallies to identify the countries and research institutions where these scientific elite are based.

DSU Awarded Impactful Grants On November 3, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum announced that Dickinson State University had been awarded three grants totaling $192,150. The grants were awarded under the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER Fund) created by the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Competitive proposals from North Dakota higher education institutions were asked to demonstrate the concept of accelerated learning opportunities with an emphasis on a rapid response to transition and student support.

Ability to adapt The world is changing at what seems like break-neck speed. To squeeze out a greater competitive advantage, more and more organizations are combining innovative design, marketing, and prototyping tools and techniques. The best employees in this environment are the ones who can easily adjust to a new environment or reality. Looking for signs that someone will grow over time would provide us with a good employee, not just for the next few months, but also for the future.

Honesty Honesty may sound old-fashioned, but for today’s employers, it’s a key trait. One simple explanation for its significance is that honest workers can avoid getting us into messy circumstances. It can seriously harm the business and its credibility if anyone lies about data or other aspects of their work. Furthermore, integrity strengthens one’s relationships, both with peers and with clients.

Employees who can admit their flaws and be transparent to others regarding their views would automatically be more likely to succeed.

Passion A Deloitte research report found that 87.7 percent of workers are unable to contribute their full potential because they are DSUHERITAGEFOUNDATION.ORG

Culture fit Eighty seven percent of organizations cite culture and interaction as one of their top challenges according to the Deloitte report.

This makes sense. It takes time to create a strong culture in which everyone collaborates and thrives. The recruiting process begins with the development of this culture. Fitting culture is just as important as intellect or abilities. Regardless of applicants’ previous experience, they’re not a good match for any of us if they are not going to get along with the rest of the team.

Action-Oriented The slogan of an action-oriented employee is, “better imperfect action today than perfect action tomorrow.” They believe in iterative achievement. Getting these doers on the team will not only improve what the team will do, but also inspire those around them.

Team Player Employees working on nearly every project will have to collaborate with colleagues. Typically, recruiters question potential recruits about how well they will fit in as team players and what kind of work environment they seek. To see how well they work with a variety of people already on staff, some employers will bring candidates in for a group interview.

Blue Hawk Cheerleading Brings New Look to DSU Athletics Cebe Schneider has been a cheerleading coach for Dickinson High School for several years, during which time the team earned several championships. In 2019 Cebe was named the NDCCA Coach of the Year. In addition to winning state, the team had a chance to compete at the regional level where they finished 2nd and 3rd, earning them a shot on the national stage.

At nationals, the teams earned 4th and 8th place finishes.

Jade Boote: DSU Student and Selfless Caregiver

by Kayden Heckaman, DSU Student Intern Many things have changed this year in our society with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic: education has shifted to a hybrid model of delivery, social distancing is being observed, and face coverings are being worn in order to keep those who are at risk of complications safe. For some, this has become a new “normal.”

One Dickinson State University (DSU) student is displaying a selfless act of kindness by voluntarily studying off-campus this semester, taking her classes online and caring for those that are at risk to have serious complications should they contract COVID-19. This student is Jade Boote, a competitive, organized, and hardworking senior from Binford, North Dakota, currently majoring in business education.

Boote, whose mother is an alumna of the University, joined the flock at Dickinson State for the opportunity to pursue rodeo, as well as study business education. “I love how small the classes are, and that allows the professors to know each student and know most students by their first name,” said Boote. “It’s like a big family. Everyone knows one another.”

Her decision to take her classes remotely was influenced by what she does for work, by providing home support for a local family. According to Boote, home support, in respect to her client, is taking care of an individual with a special need. “I take her to therapy, pick her up from school, hang out with her at home, go bowling, go to movies or anything her family asks.” Boote has been doing home support for her client since she PAGE 20

began studying at the University four years ago, and she believes that they are happy to have her around. Boote decided that it was in the best interest of her client and client’s family for her to study from home during the semester and do everything she can to prevent herself from contracting and spreading COVID-19.

Though she knows it was the best decision for her client, Boote misses being on campus interacting with her friends, classmates, and professors in person. Not being physically there in class or having the opportunity to come in early or stay late to ask questions is challenging and is much different when you have to do it from afar via email. However, Boote believes that the University giving students the option of being able to connect remotely is “awesome” and that “it really has made it easier for a lot of students, including [herself ].”

While she strives to keep up with her classwork and care for her client, she still finds time to do other things she enjoys.

When she is not doing classwork, which has been very timeconsuming for her this semester, she can be found riding her horses or roping. She has also been able to keep in contact with her friends. She also said that if everything was to return to how it was before the pandemic, she would want to travel. “Sounds generic, but I would take my horses and head to Arizona to rope,” said Boote.

Selflessness/ˈselfləsnəs/ n. Concern more with the needs and wishes of others than with one’s own.

Having this trait requires someone to think not only of themselves, but also of those around them. Boote has embraced this value by choosing the health and safety of others over heading back to class in-person. Not all heroes wear capes, but some wear cowgirl boots, and Boote is certainly a hero for the sacrifices she has made for others during this pandemic.

THE HERITAGE | SPRING 2021

The cheer athletes were looking for a program for college and hoping to stay local. After seeing great success at the high school level, Coach Schneider wanted to provide athletes with an opportunity to compete in cheerleading at the next level, so when Dickinson State provided an opportunity, she was quick to get on board. Cebe became the head cheerleading coach for Dickinson State University in the spring of 2018. This season marks her 8th year of coaching the sport. While it has been the most difficult year so far due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the cheerleading program is determined to make the best out of the situation.

“I love this sport. I love its diversity and athleticism,” Coach Schneider explained. “Cheer athletes are required to stunt, jump, tumble, execute sharp motions, do entire team pyramids, and toss in a little choreography moving from one transition to another, all while making it look fun and easy. It’s extremely physical and can be dangerous. In fact, cheer is one of the highest ranked sports for injuries, but it’s thrilling and exhilarating, and has to be worked with an eye toward the safety of the athletes at all times.”

Schneider had to make some adjustments in coaching at the college level; there is significant difference in pyramids, stunting, and tumbling. In college, pyramids go another person higher than in high school, and stunting is very different with releases in flips and twisting allowed. Furthermore, tumbling is required at the competitive level with the majority of the team needing to be able to tumble.

“The toughest challenge as a college cheer coach is balancing sideline cheerleading with competitive cheerleading and recruitment,” stated Schneider. “Recruiting is challenging because while most high school programs may have football, basketball or volleyball, they don’t always have a cheer program, so there are fewer cheer athletes available. Collegiate cheer is different from high school cheer and requires an expanded set of skills, so that narrows the field even more. We recruit by building the program and being willing to train anyone willing to learn the new sets of skills. It really helps that Dickinson State is a great university, Dickinson is a welcoming community, and our cheer program is loaded with awesome and talented kids!”

DSUHERITAGEFOUNDATION.ORG

Cheerleading plays a major role in Coach Schneider’s life, and has become an event for her entire family. Three of Schneider’s daughters are currently involved in the team at Dickinson State.

Dakia Schneider is an assistant coach after being an athlete in the program for two years; Kierra Schneider is a junior on the team, and Teandra is a freshman.

“I was a cheerleader in high school; once a cheerleader always a cheerleader,” said Coach Schneider. “Dakia tried out as a freshman in high school. She was kind of awful. We joke about that because she later went on to earn the top cheerleading title in the state and was an All-American cheerleader her last three years of high school. I started helping with the high school program Dakia’s freshman year and just never stopped. We do love cheer in our family. The athleticism and the inherent encouragement of others is our favorite part.”

For competitive cheer, the first challenge for the team was learning the revamped NAIA cheer competition rubric.

Collegiate cheer as a sport requires strong athleticism and specific skills. Student-athletes perform a high intensity twoand-a-half minute routine which requires several skill categories to be performed during that time frame. The categories include complex and unified jumps, stunts, pyramids, tumbling, and “basket tosses”. In addition to the required categories, teams are also judged on execution, difficulty, timing, and presentation.

“I have so much respect for the team members,” explained Schneider. “Not only do they have to perform all of the required high-level skills correctly and safely, but they also have to do them at the same time and with military precision for best scores. They also have to make it look easy.”

At the end of January, the competitive cheer team got the opportunity to compete nationally for Dickinson State. They were able to travel to Nebraska to compete against Doane University and Midland Lutheran College in which they won both competitions. They even had the opportunity to cheer in PAGE 21

Athletics front of their fans in Scott Gymnasium at a virtual competition against the University of St. Francis in which they continued their dominance. Going undefeated earned them a spot at the NAIA Regional Cheer Competition in Davenport, Iowa. The team finished third.

“It was definitely a learning season for us,” Schneider added.

“My goal was to get the team to a collegiate, competitive level for competition, use this as a growing year, and to compete at

DSU Heritage Foundation Regionals this year. We were the only new team in our division.

Our first competition was against the regional champions for the past several years.”

The 2020 season was a much different season than Tyger and Jaret had ever played in due to COVID-19 Pandemic.

There’s no doubt that the DSU Cheer Team won the respect of fellow athletes on campus as well as the community in their inaugural competitive cheer season. It will be exciting to see how the team grows to new levels in the future.

“We had many new procedures like masks and temperature tests every day,” stated Frye. “We didn’t know if we were even going to get to the first game without shutting down and it’s crazy to look back and say we played all nine scheduled games.”

“The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected all our lives tremendously and I think we saw that in our football season as well,” Lee added. “We had new rules and procedures to follow every day at practice and throughout the season. We had masks on everywhere we went including in the gym while we were working out. We even had temperature checks every day of the season. It was a tough thing for some of us to deal with, but I think everyone came together and made it happen because we all had one goal in mind and that was another conference championship.”

Meet Tyger Frye and Jaret Lee, the Blue Hawk Football Team’s “Dynamic Duo” When you look through the record books on the best receivers in Dickinson State University Football history, some of the names to pop up are Dave Ouellette, Greg Kratzer, Adam Eckert, Brian Mills, Duane Monlux and Eric Boettcher. Back when these guys played, Coach Biesiot ran an offensive completely different from current Head Coach, Pete Stanton.

Coach Biesiot’s offensive philosophy was “we will run the football until we need to throw the ball.” Back then, the “shotgun” snap was not in the playbook. Coach Biesiot would always joke that he did have the “shotgun” snap in the playbook because on every fourth down, the quarterback was not under center, yet the snapper used the long snap “shotgun” to get the ball to the punter.

If you came to a Blue Hawk football game from the 1980’s to 2013 you would have seen a majority running offense which is far different from what the DSU offense looks like now.

When Coach Stanton took over the reins in 2014, the Blue Hawk offensive playbook took on a new look, the Spread Offense. The Blue Hawks still run the ball quite often but most of the run plays now have a read-option scheme. This allows the quarterback to read what the defense is doing and choose to either run the ball or throw the ball.

Now we get to know two of the best receivers the Blue Hawk football team has seen in the past six seasons under Coach Stanton, Jaret Lee and Tyger Frye.

Tyger has become one of the most prolific receivers in Dickinson State University football history. Over his four years, he has played in 42 games, compiled 220 receptions with 2,761 yards and 29 touchdown receptions. Frye averaged 12.6 yards per reception, 5.2 receptions per game and 65.7 yards per game in his career at DSU. While at DSU, Tyger has been selected NSAA PAGE 22

Athletics

All-Conference in 2018, 2019 and 2020. He holds records for the most receptions in a game, season, and career at DSU as well as the yards in a game record.

Tyger began playing full-contact football at eight years old. He played through high school in Billings, where he was an AllConference receiver his junior year and All State his senior year.

After graduating from Billings Senior in 2016, he was picked for the Shrine Game that summer. Tyger’s love for football continued at Dickinson State University, though he may not have imagined the success he would have in a Blue Hawk uniform.

Jaret Lee has also jumped into the category of the best receivers in DSU history. Over his four years, Lee has played in 34 games, hauling in 119 receptions with 1901 yards and 18 touchdown receptions. Jaret averaged 16 yards per reception, 3.5 receptions per game and 55.9 yards per game in his career at DSU. Jaret was named NSAA All-Conference in 2019 and 2020. Lee was also named the 2020 NSAA Football Offensive Most Valuable Player.

Prior to playing for DSU, Jaret played football for the Trinity High School Titans right here in Dickinson. Lee became one of the best receivers in Titan history and was highly recruited out of high school. Lee was a two-time First Team All-Conference selection his junior and senior years and was named First Team All-State his senior year. Jaret decided to stay in Dickinson and join the newly renovated, up and coming Blue Hawk football team.

THE HERITAGE | SPRING 2021

Currently, Tyger is studying composite social science education while he is planning on being a secondary social studies teacher and football coach at the high school level. Recalling his DSU involvement, Tyger said, “I have had an amazing experience here in the last four or so years. I have met some of my forever friends and have made so many great connections I know will be useful down the road. I also have been offered an affordable college education that is going to ensure my success later in life after football is over. I have made some of the best memories on and off the field and wouldn’t change my college decision for anything.”

Jaret is currently studying soil science with minors in GIS (Geographic Information System) and Earth Science at DSU. He is undecided on what he will pursue but is looking into some kind of soil mapping, a surveying job, or possibly even soil technician within the NRCS or USDA. Jaret said about his DSU experience, “It has been very welcoming. I’ve met some of the greatest people at DSU and definitely some of my best friendships that I will never lose. I chose DSU because of the tradition and rise of the football program, but after 4 ½ years, the school itself, professors, and students are reasons on their own to choose DSU and I’ve never regretted it for a second.”

DSUHERITAGEFOUNDATION.ORG

DSU Heritage Foundation Asked to share a favorite DSU memory, Jaret offered, “I can’t pick just one: Last season when we were playing in a close game with Waldorf for the conference championship, in the fourth quarter we were driving down for a game leading score and I broke my collarbone. I couldn’t leave the stadium until the game was over to make sure the boys secured the win; another memory is how Tyger and I rode together for every breakfast and every game for our sophomore year; still another is giving Tyger a hard time every day before practice because I’d have to put laundry in the wash after practice because he would put his laundry on his laundry loop and leave it in his locker almost every day.”

Tyger shared that his favorite DSU memory “was when we beat Waldorf at their home field my junior year. We essentially put the conference race back in our hands and it took a complete team effort to get it done. I will never forget seeing the visiting fans cheer for us as we walked off that field with smiles on our faces.”

Tyger added, “Jaret and I would love to pick on the defensive backs in a friendly verbal way, HA! It didn’t matter who would start it, the other one would join in and we would always win that conversation! We would then reflect on what was said and we’d laugh because we always knew we were better trash-talkers that the opposing player, especially when we won the game!”

“I actually didn’t get along with Tyger until about my sophomore year,” stated Jaret. “After hanging out a few times we kind of just sparked. Our friendship is something that I hope 20 years from now I can still get under his skin by telling him he wouldn’t have half his yards if he didn’t have me blocking for him on the outside. As one of ‘the duo’, a name Tyger created, I’m going to miss being a part of that on the field with the kid. I have never had more fun playing football than when Tyger and I are on the same field. Like I’ve been saying all season, there are only three things guaranteed in life: death, taxes, and 16 and 81 open on Saturdays.”

Wherever Tyger and Jaret und up in their future endeavors, they will know they helped the Blue Hawks secure four NSAA Football Championships in route to six consecutive NSAA Football Championships and DSU’s first undefeated regular season since 2003. In Tyger’s and Jaret’s tenure at DSU, the Blue Hawk football team has lost only one home game!

“As a coach, you always look back on what made each play, game and season successful,” stated DSU Head Football Coach Pete Stanton. “On the offensive side of the ball, Tyger and Jaret gave us so many great opportunities to be successful during their time as Blue Hawk football receivers. They are both outstanding athletes. Their attitude and leadership to help push themselves and their teammates is what we as Blue Hawks will remember forever. They truly are a great example of what we look for in our players.”

“It was definitely a learning season for us,” Schneider added.

“My goal was to get the team to a collegiate, competitive level for competition, use this as a growing year, and to compete at

DSU Heritage Foundation Regionals this year. We were the only new team in our division.

Our first competition was against the regional champions for the past several years.”

The 2020 season was a much different season than Tyger and Jaret had ever played in due to COVID-19 Pandemic.

There’s no doubt that the DSU Cheer Team won the respect of fellow athletes on campus as well as the community in their inaugural competitive cheer season. It will be exciting to see how the team grows to new levels in the future.

“We had many new procedures like masks and temperature tests every day,” stated Frye. “We didn’t know if we were even going to get to the first game without shutting down and it’s crazy to look back and say we played all nine scheduled games.”

“The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected all our lives tremendously and I think we saw that in our football season as well,” Lee added. “We had new rules and procedures to follow every day at practice and throughout the season. We had masks on everywhere we went including in the gym while we were working out. We even had temperature checks every day of the season. It was a tough thing for some of us to deal with, but I think everyone came together and made it happen because we all had one goal in mind and that was another conference championship.”

Meet Tyger Frye and Jaret Lee, the Blue Hawk Football Team’s “Dynamic Duo” When you look through the record books on the best receivers in Dickinson State University Football history, some of the names to pop up are Dave Ouellette, Greg Kratzer, Adam Eckert, Brian Mills, Duane Monlux and Eric Boettcher. Back when these guys played, Coach Biesiot ran an offensive completely different from current Head Coach, Pete Stanton.

Coach Biesiot’s offensive philosophy was “we will run the football until we need to throw the ball.” Back then, the “shotgun” snap was not in the playbook. Coach Biesiot would always joke that he did have the “shotgun” snap in the playbook because on every fourth down, the quarterback was not under center, yet the snapper used the long snap “shotgun” to get the ball to the punter.

If you came to a Blue Hawk football game from the 1980’s to 2013 you would have seen a majority running offense which is far different from what the DSU offense looks like now.

When Coach Stanton took over the reins in 2014, the Blue Hawk offensive playbook took on a new look, the Spread Offense. The Blue Hawks still run the ball quite often but most of the run plays now have a read-option scheme. This allows the quarterback to read what the defense is doing and choose to either run the ball or throw the ball.

Where Are They Now?

DSU Heritage Foundation play one position on either offense, defense, or special teams.

Back then, Tom was lucky to get a water break. “My playing days as a Savage football player consisted of playing every quarter, both offense and defense, at about every position except line,” he said.

His basketball days were special as a teammate his freshman year was Ted Easton. Ted is the late-father of current DSU President Steve Easton. “As an alum, I am very pleased that the State Board of Higher Education hired a DSU graduate,” stated Tom. Tom was not a traditional college student. He got married in 1956 to his sweetheart, Marjorie (Marge). While Tom went to college, Marge supported the family as a telephone operator with Bell Telephone. “Marge’s job as a telephone operator provided our growing family the resources to get by. We also lived with my mother which provided housing during college,” explained Tom.

Tom Gunderson, Class of 1960: Gunderson’s Life is Full of Coaching

by Alicia Erickson, Development Officer A successful life is one way to describe Tom Gunderson after his days at Dickinson State Teachers College. After graduating in 1960, Tom went on to a successful career of teaching, coaching, and advising in the world of education as well as financial investments.

In his high school years, Tom accelerated to be an all-around athlete. People like Coach Paul Roach, who went on to coach at the NCAA and NFL levels, helped Tom reach new goals in high school. “Paul Roach was of great influence over my junior and senior year. Our junior year we took second place at state in basketball, and under his coaching DHS had some of their best years in football,” Tom recalled. “Coach Roach gave me the guidance I needed when I needed direction.”

It was Coach Roach and his assistant, Roger Huffman, who encouraged the all-state quarterback to attend Dickinson State Teachers College so he could play in front of his hometown fans.

According to Tom, “Sports was the main reason for attending DSU. Participating in football, basketball, and track kept me evolved with many future friends from the team members to those from other colleges. Those were very important contacts for us in future years.”

Football as a sport has evolved a lot over since Tom’s playing days in the late 1950s. Nowadays, the team members are trained to PAGE 24

In addition to being married, he also had young sons that he had to be a father to after practice. His professors knew this and made sure he stayed on track. Tom is grateful for them.

“Dickinson State Teachers College provided me all the tools I needed. The level of personal attention I received from the professors was the difference or graduating or not,” he said. “Dr. Gordon Olson was one of the many educators at DSTC that affected my life. Many professors took the extra time I needed to help me graduate in four years.”

After graduating with his degree in 1960, Tom and Marge loaded up their three young boys and set out for his first job in Oregon.

They returned to North Dakota for a teaching and coaching job at Watford City. In the late 1960s, he hung up the coaching and teaching reigns for an opportunity with Bell Telephone in Des Moines, Iowa. That led to positions with financial investment firms before he eventually returned to his alma mater to serve as an Assistant to President R.C. “Cam” Gillund. Tom would visit high schools and market Dickinson State. He enjoyed being back at his beloved alma mater but was lured away by a compensation package from a nearby private school and competitor Jamestown College. It was the most important coach in Tom’s life, his wife, who advised him of changes he needed to make in his career even if he didn’t necessarily want to make the change. Even though he wasn’t ready to leave, Marge convinced him it was the right move for his young family. By this time, the young couple had six boys: Greg, Gerry, Tom, Bob, Kurt, and Scott.

It was Tom’s ability to connect with people that eventually made him a successful businessman. “After you have been at work in your chosen field for a few years, your performance is what counts not where you graduated from,” explained Tom. What started out as a small business venture turned Tom in to being the founder of Investment Centers of America. “The experience of THE HERITAGE | SPRING 2021

coaching and teaching were some of the most enjoyable years of our lives. I truly believe that this experience gave me the background needed for the success of building Investment Centers of America,” said Tom. “Being a coach gives you an experience needed to know how to get one focused on being successful at performing a task to help the team. Being a teacher was providing the knowledge and guidance for your students to compete in the real world. Coaches know the feeling of losing and then going back to the job the next day to go for the win.”

Tom understood the importance of a college education back then as well as today.

According to Tom, “Marjorie and I are very proud of our six sons all graduating from North Dakota Universities. North Dakota Universities provide what is needed to compete in any ‘arena’ in the world.”

He still enjoys watching college football games as well especially when the Blue Hawks are playing. “The Blue Hawks have one

of the best college football programs in the region,” said Tom. “Marge and I have enjoyed many trips supporting the Blue Hawks.”

In March, Tom and Marge celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. As they enjoy their retirement years together, there is no doubt that Marge continues to be a lifelong coach for Tom.
