This means you have the same rigorous academic opportunities you would at a large school, but with more individualized attention and support from faculty who teach full time. At Northwest, learning extends beyond the classroom. Education majors gain real-world experience at the Horace Mann Laboratory School on campus, agriculture majors get their hands dirty on the University Farm, students research alongside growing businesses in the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and students staff numerous University publications, the campus TV station and two campus radio stations. In addition, about 1,200 student employment positions are available on campus. Students at Northwest are actively involved in campus leadership. More than 70% of

students actively participate in student organizations, and more than 800 students donate their time to volunteering and service learning every year. Involvement isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to upperclassmen, either. Whether through a student organization, research opportunities, on-campus job, hands-on learning experiences or service learning, students become involved starting their freshman year.

When Dr. Mark Corson teaches classes such as military geography and principles of humanitarian aid, he speaks with authority on these subjects. Dr. Corson, professor of geosciences and chair of the Department of Natural Sciences, has been deployed three times. In 2011, he returned from serving as the commanding general of the U.S. Army Reserve’s 103rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command. As part of “Operation Responsible Drawdown,” Dr. Corson was charged with overseeing the effort to reduce the number of American troops in Iraq. His unit was responsible for coordinating all sustainment operations in Iraq, which meant providing transportation, maintenance, supplies and services. It was a task Dr. Corson often compared to moving the entire city of St. Joseph halfway around the world, and the command completed the mission 10 days ahead of the federal government’s deadline. “I was really excited to get back to my students and my classes,” Dr. Corson said. “I’m really happy to have the opportunity to use some of the leadership and management lessons that I’ve gleaned from my experience to make a contribution to the Department of Natural Sciences and to the University.” Dr. Corson now performs his military duty by serving as the senior logistics staff officer (wartime) for U.S. Forces Korea. In the event of a crisis, he will deploy to Korea to ensure U.S. and allied forces have what they need to defend the Republic of Korea and maintain peace in the region. Dr. Corson says this new focus on East Asia is exciting and that he looks forward to bringing new lessons and knowledge back to Northwest based on his service with U.S. Forces Korea.

Dr. Shelley Riley obtained a B.S. in chemistry from Northwest and a Ph.D. in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Kansas. Before rejoining Northwest as a faculty member, Dr. Riley worked for more than 15 years in pharmaceutical research and development, reaching the position of director of pharmaceutics at Amgen. She is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Natural Sciences and teaches classes in the chemistry and nanoscale science programs. Dr. Riley serves as the co-sponsor of Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society and does research in the solid state characterization of pharmaceuticals and formulation of nanosuspensions for oral drug delivery. Additionally, she is vice president and co-founder of Riley and Rabel Consulting Services LLC. Her experience in the pharmaceutical industry was gained through positions at The DuPont Pharmaceutical Company, ALZA Corporation (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson), and Amgen. Dr. Riley has 21 publications, 21 presentations and three patents to her name. “I feel that students benefit from my pharmaceutical research experience, which allows them to translate what they learn in the classroom and laboratory to real-world applications and career opportunities in the natural sciences,” said Dr. Riley. “When I was a student at Northwest, there were several faculty mentors who played a huge role in influencing my academic and professional career paths. I take great pride and find it rewarding that I am in a position to do the same for our students.”

MEET YOUR MENT OR

Dr. Carol Spradling is a strong proponent of teamwork and interdisciplinary education. Dr. Spradling, associate professor of mathematics, computer science and information systems, was Northwest’s 2012 Governor’s Award winner for Excellence in Education. Her commitment as one of the faculty advisors of Knacktive — Northwest’s student-led, interdisciplinary, strategic communications agency — was one of the reasons she was selected. Another was her service as co-chair of the first Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas Women in Computing conference which encouraged women to enter and remain in computing occupations. Dr. Spradling credits colleagues and mentors who have helped her hone her teaching techniques. “You really have to vary the kind of materials and experiences that you provide for students,” Dr. Spradling said. “There are so many people on campus who are good at doing that, and I really think that makes a big difference with how successful students are in the classroom.”

Dr. Ben Blackford has a passion for entrepreneurship, strategy and marketing. In April 2012, Dr. Blackford, assistant professor of management, helped develop Northwest’s first entrepreneurship conference. The conference gave students practice developing business plans and presenting to panels of judges made up of respected entrepreneurs and business professionals, with the winners receiving scholarships. “The inspiration was to provide another opportunity for students to gain real-world experience in an important aspect of entrepreneurship and small business,” Dr. Blackford said. Opportunities to apply topics from the classroom occur in other courses as well. Students in Dr. Blackford’s negotiations course have the opportunity to participate in negotiation simulations, taking the role of unions and management from professional sports to the automotive industry in collective bargaining. While studying strategy, students become top management of a simulated shoe company and make multiple decisions regarding their business while competing with other members of the class and students across the world.

E R E H S T R A IT ALL ST From film trailers to fraud recovery and from baseball to beetles, Northwest alumni are launching fascinating careers around the world. The multiple skills that Trevor Hayes (left), who graduated in 2007, developed at Northwest, along with some powerful connections, helped him land a job as the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Hayes chose to attend Northwest in part because of the ability to work for student publications beginning his freshman year. Starting as a chief photographer, Hayes quickly rose in the ranks and eventually became editor of the Tower yearbook. But his hands-on experience didn’t stop there. Hayes also served six internships while in college, and worked one summer on the K-Crew, providing fan entertainment for Kansas City Royals baseball games. “I saw how stable the industry of sports is, and it wasn’t very different from what I was learning to do in college,” Hayes said. “It didn’t take me long after getting that job to realize that’s where I wanted to be.” His connections to the public relations staff at the Royals helped him land a job as a media relations assistant with the club. His boss at the time helped him acquire his current job at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. In his position, Hayes is responsible for producing and designing print publications and advertising, and he is the voice of the Hall of Fame’s Twitter accounts and Facebook page, along with other responsibilities. Hayes credits the opportunities he received at Northwest for the diversity of his responsibilities.

Bobby Gumm (above)

always dreamed of working in the film industry. He enrolled at Northwest as an art major, but eventually changed his focus and graduated in 2003 with a broadcasting degree and an art minor. A year later, he moved to Los Angeles where he connected with a friend and landed a job at an advertising agency. These days, Gumm is music supervisor at Trailer Park, a 300-person company responsible for creating movie trailers and other advertising. Gumm has worked on spots for “Sex and the City 2,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Jarhead,” “Up” and “Avatar.” To Northwest students wanting to follow in his footsteps, Gumm says it’s important to take risks and be persistent. He also gives cred to the adage that it’s about who you know. Eric Mickelson, another Northwest alumnus who grew up in Maryville, is now vice president of creative marketing at CBS Films and recommended Gumm for his first job in Los Angeles. “Who you know is extraordinarily important to at least get you in the door,” Gumm said. “In Hollywood there’s 1,000 people applying for every job, so they’re going to hire the

“When I got to the Hall of Fame, they said, ‘So your position is a graphic designer,’” Hayes said. “Because I was able to go to a place like Northwest that gave me opportunities to do all of these different things, I was able to get a job that allowed me to use some of that small bit of training and expand on it further.” j

person who comes recommended by somebody that they like, as opposed to just trying to weed through a thousand applicants.” At Northwest, Gumm and Mickelson produced “The Quadrilateral Half-Hour Power Show,” a quirky stunt television show for campus station KNWT. Gumm credits Northwest’s mass communication department and the faculty’s openness to letting students experiment. “Matt Rouch (mass communication instructor) and everybody just sort of let us do our own thing, and I always thought that was cool,” Gumm said. “A lot of other places are very structured – you have to do this and you have to do that. I loved that you got out of it whatever you put into it.” j

Since his appointment in 2005, Matt Kitzi has helped return nearly $10 billion to investors from fraudulent activities. Kitzi, a 1997 Northwest graduate, is the commissioner of securities for the Office of Missouri Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan. In 2008, Kitzi joined the national task force on auction–rate securities as an answer to investor complaints. The task force is a nationwide state regulators’ response to the Auction Rate Securities Market Crash, which included 15 of the nation’s largest financial firms. The crash left investors with more than $330 billion in frozen assets. As co-chair of the task force, Kitzi helped launch the largest financial investigation Missouri has seen in the past 10 years. He takes pride in reaching settlements with high-profile firms like JP Morgan and Wachovia Securities through the investigation. “Missouri was the leading state on the Wachovia settlement,” Kitzi said. “It is the largest financial services regulator settlement in history. We take a lot of pride in that.” Kitzi credits Northwest as the foundation of his successful career. “It prepared me very well for what I’m doing now,” he said. “It is the place that got me off on the right foot and put me on the right track toward having a successful career.” j

Whitney Kinman credits Northwest for helping her discover what teaching is all about. “I feel like Northwest did a really good job in preparing me to be a teacher,” said Kinman, a kindergarten teacher in the Savannah R-III School District and 2011 elementary education graduate. “I honestly do not think that any other university could have prepared me better for my current job.” Kinman credits Dr. Marilyn Rhea for having the greatest impact on her as a student. “She had a way of bringing the textbooks to life by making learning fun, exciting and memorable for all of her students,” Kinman said. “After being in her class, I knew exactly the kind of teacher I wanted to be.” After her first year in the classroom, Kinman says the most fulfilling part about being a teacher is knowing that each day she is teaching the students in her classroom new things that will benefit them currently, and also lay the foundation for what they need in their future. j

Elise Jones considers working at Cerner Corporation to be an honor. Jones, a 2012 graduate, is a technical support analyst. “Working at Cerner is such an honor because the amount of people this company impacts really makes me want to work hard,” Jones said. “This concept isn’t new to me because that’s exactly what I learned in college. Engaging with professors, staff and other students made it an easier transition for me to move into Cerner and conduct myself in a professional manner while holding a conversation with someone who may be higher up in the company.” Jones, who was an interactive digital media – computer science major, credits her “academic advisor and dear friend” Dr. Carol Spradling, associate professor in computer science and information systems, for being a driving force in her success. “I remember when I was meeting with her my sophomore year to schedule classes for the next semester, and she said she was concerned about me,” Jones said. “She told me she wanted to get to know me as a person and learn what I was interested in to help me achieve my goals. She introduced me to several opportunities in and outside of the University and supported me through every hard decision I had to make, including the decision of where to work after I graduated.” j 17

HORACE MANN LABORATORY SCHOOL AND EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION LABORATORY CENTER Our education majors get hands-on, practical classroom experience within the laboratory school, giving them an edge on education graduates from other schools. Children at Horace Mann Laboratory School, as well as Northwest students training to be teachers, experienced nature firsthand thanks to a grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Lauren Gobet, elementary education major, was one such teacher-in-training. Gobet gained experience by planning lessons about organisms, populations and ecosystems, while incorporating songs and activities into the lessons.

“It definitely shows us a different way to teach science,” said Gobet. “It’s something for us to look forward to when we are teachers and we can write this grant for our classrooms.” Lauren Gobet

HANDS-ON AGRICULTURE EXPERIENCE Agriculture students gain experience at the campus orchard, campus/community garden, campus agronomy plots and the University Farm. Four Northwest students got an inside look at one farm’s operations and brought home honors for the findings and recommendations they presented to a panel of dairy experts. Jessica Murphy, an agriculture education major, was on the third-place team in the Midwest Regional Dairy Challenge. The challenge allows students to apply their learning as they review all facets of a working dairy business.

“I know my practices and what I do when I’m on my farm, but I don’t know what other people do, especially with a large capacity of 400 cattle.” Jessica Murphy

Bearcat Productions Bearcat Productions is a semi-independent production company that handles video project requests from a variety of businesses and organizations, including Heartland Hospital Systems in St. Joseph, Kawasaki Manufacturing and the American Red Cross. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

BROADCASTING KZLX KZLX is a campus and community radio station operated for and by students. KXCV/KRNW Students have the opportunity to work at National Public Radio affiliate KXCV/KRNW. The 100,000-watt station broadcasts in a 100-mile radius of Maryville and has a mix of programming, including NPR news, local news, sports, weather, classical/jazz music, talk shows and American music. KNWT TV KNWT is Northwest’s cable television station that gives students the opportunity to produce weekly newscasts, sports shows, music video shows and game shows.

KNACKTIVE, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY AGENCY EXPERIENCE Knacktive is an integrated, interactive marketing communications agency. Students are separated into competing teams to create an integrated campaign, including: market research, consumer and situational analysis, creative strategies, budgeting, product planning, channels of distribution, pricing, collateral, promotions and public relations tactic development. Each team’s work is integrated into a comprehensive campaign and presented in a formal pitch to a real-world client. For Ian Stanek, recent recipient of a bachelor’s degree in interactive digital media (IDM) with a computer science emphasis, his diverse experiences at Northwest helped him land a career with Cerner Corporation.

Northwest students publish award-winning student publications, including The Northwest Missourian, the campus weekly newspaper; the Tower yearbook; the Heartland View online magazine; and On The Edge in Multimedia, a DVD yearbook. Trey Williams (left), journalism major, started writing for the The Northwest Missourian in the second trimester of his freshman year. He was promoted to news editor and then to editor in chief thanks to his hard work.

“I’m glad to have had the opportunity to further my writing and reporting skills while working at The Northwest Missourian,” Williams said. “Other skills I’ve developed are basic design, how a newspaper is produced and leadership.”

Trey Williams

THE CEN TER FOR INNOVA TION AN D ENTREPR ENEURS HIP (CIE) The CIE is a bu siness incuba tor, with tenants in fields rangin g from nanoscience, health, recycl ing/ sustainability, cloud computin g and marketing. Th e CIE provides state-ofthe-art equipm ent for use by students, faculty and te nants.

Stanek was part of the Knacktive agency, serving as an IDM director for one of the four Knacktive teams, Confido. Knacktive team members built a comprehensive marketing campaign for Science City, and Confido’s proposal was declared the winner.

“In Knacktive, you have to work on a team, and if you’re not talking to each other, nothing’s going to get done,” Stanek said. “It’s a huge lesson in communication, which a lot of companies are looking for. They’re not hiring just on what you have for skills, although that’s important, but they want to know: Can you talk to people? Can you pick up the phone and talk to someone? Are you clear in your emails? Are you willing to get up from your desk, walk over to someone and talk to them about something? Are you able to articulate a problem? You have to have strong communication skills.” 31 Ian Stanek
