Roberts has designs on success for his students
R
andy Roberts went looking for a better job and found a career that he loves.
Roberts, an instructor in the Architectural Drafting and Design program on the Detroit Lakes campus for 10 years, was working a seasonal construction job after graduating from high school in Wadena. Rained out and bored one day, he started checking out colleges for options that could lead to a year-round job and found the drafting program at Northland Community & Technical College in Thief River Falls. “I went to college in Thief River Falls because I didn’t know M State had a drafting program,” he says. “From Wadena, I drove past M State because I didn’t know our program existed.” Roberts is determined to ensure that doesn’t happen to others. He’s always on the lookout for opportunities to tout his program at high school visits, career fairs and community events. At the recent open house on the Detroit Lakes campus, his students showed off their design skills in a pumpkin-carving contest that was judged by 125 visitors. Students in the Architectural Drafting and Design AAS degree program share their irst-semester courses with students in the Civil Engineering Technology program, then the two programs diverge. “We always say Architectural Drafting is the building and out ive feet,” Roberts explains. “Civil Engineering is ive feet out from the building and beyond 4
– roads, utilities, sewer, bridges.” The core of his program, he says, is CADD, or computer-aided drafting and design. When his students graduate, they’re quali ied to be entry-level CADD technicians and can ind job opportunities with manufacturers such as Dynamic Homes, with residential contractors, with estimators and with mechanical, electrical and structural engineering irms. “We have 100 percent placement in Architectural Drafting and Civil Engineering Technology,” Roberts says. “If you really want a job, you have a job. When the economy went bad a few years back and the housing market crashed along with new home construction, it looked like a very bleak ield, but we never had a problem placing graduates.” Roberts spent 13 years as a project manager for an architectural irm in Perham before he was lured to higher education by a former coworker who was teaching at the college. “I was very nervous about the change, but I enjoy the job,” says Roberts, who won a national award for excellence in teaching last year. Are there secrets to success that Roberts shares with his students? Pay attention to details and meet deadlines. “Someone is always waiting for their construction drawings,” he says with a smile.

College highlights M State had a ceremonial groundbreaking for its Moorhead Transportation Center expansion, a $7 million project that will allow M State to con nue its tradi on of training highly skilled transporta on workers for employers and industries throughout the region. The project will provide 23,000 square feet of lab and classroom space for the Diesel Equipment Technology program and renovate another 23,000 square feet of exis ng space for an expanded Automo ve Technology program. The new facility will welcome its first class of students in the fall of 2016. M State marke ng instructor Bryan Christensen used funds from a girlsBEST grant to “open up a world of opportunity” for young women by opening doors in the Detroit Lakes business community. He used the grant to fund visits to female business leaders in Detroit Lakes, with the goal of showing girls their many career op ons. The girlsBEST grant is funded by The Women’s Founda on of Minnesota. Students on M State’s Fergus Falls and Moorhead campuses are benefi ng from a grant designed to cut underage alcohol and marijuana abuse by Minnesota college students. Grant funds through the federal Strategic Preven on Framework Partnership for Success were awarded to the Minnesota Department of Human Services, which in turn partnered with M State. The two M State campuses are scheduled to receive $234,000 in grant funds.

Th The F Fergus Falls F ll campus hosted h d iits first SScrubs b Camp, giving nearly 30 high school students the opportunity to explore careers in health sciences through hands-on ac vi es and treks into health care facili es in the community. Scrubs Camp is cosponsored by HealthForce MN, the Center of Excellence in health care for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universi es system; the Fergus Falls camp was one of nine in Minnesota. A new partnership between M State and the O er Tail County Historical Museum will provide college fine art students with an opportunity to share their work with a wider audience in the Fergus Falls community. Visual art instructor John Charles Cox said the museum has agreed to host the yearly Visual Art Capstone Exhibi on featuring artwork by students in M State’s Associate of Fine Arts degree program.

M State ranked in the top 10 of two-year colleges with the best return on investment in the first-of-its-kind study by Brookings Ins tu on, a Washington, D.C., think tank. The study indicated that graduates of M State earn more than most of their peers from similar colleges, based on salary and other data from government and private sources. At mid-career, according to the report, M State graduates earned on average $59,900, or 13 percent more than similar graduates of comparable colleges. The study considered the value added by degrees from two- and four-year colleges na onwide and measured the income graduates earn, the occupa ons in which they work and their loan repayment rates. Microbiology instructor Shana Petermann was named an Educator of the Year for Excellence in Teaching, one of the state’s highest teaching honors from the Minnesota State Colleges and Universi es system. James Bainer, an instructor in the Diesel Equipment Technology program, also was recognized by MnSCU as an Outstanding Educator. Both teach on the Moorhead campus.
Dr. Eric Wilkens and Randy Roberts, both instructors on M State’s Detroit Lakes campus, received Excellence Awards from the Na onal Ins tute for Staff and Organiza onal Development for excellence in educa on and college leadership. M State music instructor and composer Michael Trosvig scored big when his work was chosen as the Annual Report 2014-2015
best musical score in the 48 Hour Horror Film Project in Minneapolis, which challenged filmmaking teams to write, shoot and edit a short film in 48 hours. Trosvig teaches courses in music composi on and music theory in the fine arts program on the Fergus Falls campus. M State received a boost from Lake Region Electric Coopera ve with the dona on of a bucket truck for use in the college’s Electrical Line Worker Technology program in Wadena. M State poli cal science and history instructor Mark L. Johnson was elected Program Commi ee chair for a 2015 na onal poli cal science conference in Washington, D.C. He was the first community college faculty member to serve as program chair in the 12year history of the American Poli cal Science Associaon’s Teaching & Learning Conference.
M State was awarded nearly $2.5 million in federal grant funds for the college’s “CU Succeed” program to help train 450 residents of west central Minnesota for in-demand careers in the construc on and u li es industries. M State also is a partner in a $15 million grant which was awarded to the Minnesota Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, a consor um of 13 campuses in the MnSCU system with the goal of training workers in advanced manufacturing programs. The grants are part of a four-year federal ini a ve to expand targeted training programs for workers by suppor ng and expanding partnerships between community colleges and employers. 7
Peterson’s HIT students filling cri cal role in health care
B
onnie Peterson jokes that she has worked in health information technology for 20 years “and my mother still doesn’t know what I do.” “It’s very interesting to talk to people about HIT, because many have no idea,” says Peterson, director of M State’s online HIT/Coding program and an instructor at the college since the mid 90s. “They get the deer-in-the-headlights look. They have no clue there is anyone in the background doing this kind of thing.” For health information technicians, “this kind of thing” is the collection, organization and management of health information data – data that drives growing segments of the health care industry, from billing and insurance reimbursement to decisions about medical treatments and strategic planning by health care providers. Peterson touts the HIT/Coding program to prospective students as an excellent career for those who want to work in health care but not in direct patient care. In other words, “no blood and guts.” The average age of her students is 36, and many have families and full-time jobs. Her online students live as far away as California, New Mexico and New Jersey. “We have one of the highest percentages of part-time students (of M State’s programs) but with the highest success rate of part-time students,” Peterson says. “Most of our students know someone who works in the ield, or they are already in health care and know the ield exists.”
8
Peterson herself followed a typical path into HIT. She completed the medical secretary program at M State when it was Moorhead Area Technical College, then worked as a medical secretary for about ive years. Ready for more of a challenge, she irst earned her bachelor’s degree and then her master’s degree in Health Information Management at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth. Peterson says students often begin the program thinking they’d like to work as a coder, maintaining patient medical records with diagnostic and procedure codes. That’s no small task: There are 70,000 procedure codes and 70,000 diagnosis codes in the medical classi ication list used by coders. But she wants students to know their career options are broader and growing, in part due to technology. “The interesting part about the ield is that it’s so diverse,” she says, with well-paying job opportunities in hospitals, clinics, government of ices, rehabilitation facilities, jails, veterinary clinics, law of ices, insurance companies and with the vendors who sell electronic health record systems. “The old joke was that we used to be in the basement,” Peterson laughs, “but we’ve moved up a few stories.”

Johnson sets the stage for students to succeed
A
leap of faith landed Sheri Johnson at M State in 2010.
Johnson, then a marketing manager for a children’s publishing company in the Twin Cities, said she had “the perfect job … for someone else.” Personally, she missed working in theatre and in the classroom. An online job search had turned up exactly one opening for a communication and theatre instructor in a three-state region. When she told her husband there was a job open in Fergus Falls, “He said, ‘Where’s Fergus Falls?’” she recalls, “and I replied, ‘I have no idea.’” “It was a leap of faith to leave a job I enjoyed in Minneapolis during a recession with kids ages 3 and 8 months,” Johnson says. “The only people I knew here were the people around the interview table.” At M State, Johnson teaches communication as well as theatre courses, which have expanded since she developed the Associate of Fine Arts in Theatre in 2015. She also directs theatre productions. Theatre has always been one of Johnson’s passions: She talked about a theatre career after high school, and her parents “wisely” took her to New York City to attend Broadway shows and see what life there would be like – working as a waitress or bartender to support herself while she pursued a career.
atre from South Dakota State University, then added master’s degrees in communication studies and English. She taught high school for one year at her alma mater in Sioux Falls, S.D., but as a third-generation teacher, Johnson says she wanted to try “something out of teaching,” which led her to marketing. Eventually she came back to the theatre and the classroom. Her favorite course to teach is interpersonal communication, with its real-life and lifelong implications for students. “We talk about the different faces we wear, and about the fact that we all wear masks,” Johnson says. “It’s a perfect marriage of theatre and communication. We talk a lot about listening and how to resolve con lict, and that ties in with every aspect of your life.” And when people dismiss theatre degrees as “fun,” Johnson has a ready reply. “Studies are showing that people with liberal arts degrees have higher earning potential,” she says. “They’re creative, problem-solvers, collaborators. With a liberal arts background I was a high school teacher, a product developer in California, a marketing manager, a college instructor. A liberal arts degree gives you lexibility.”
“I decided that wasn’t what I wanted,” she says. “I don’t enjoy rejection that much.” Instead, Johnson earned her bachelor’s degree in theAnnu An nu n ual al Rep eportt 20 014 14-2 14-2 -201 015 015

Anderson making a world of difference for ELL students Anderson, herself an M State graduate, continued her education at Minnesota State University Moorhead and St. Cloud State University, where she irst worked as a writing tutor with ELL students. Prior to joining the faculty at M State in 2010, she taught ELL courses at the University of Minnesota Duluth for about a decade. She recently completed her master’s degree in the ield.

T
eaching English language learners was not what Heidi Anderson had in mind when she decided to major in English. “I imagined I’d live in a house with a library that smelled like leather. I was going to be that tweedjacket-with-elbow-patches type of English instructor,” Anderson says, “but I probably would have gotten quite bored.” Instead, she comes to the Moorhead campus each day to work in a job she inds “immensely rewarding,” teaching immigrants and refugees in M State’s ELL program. She’s a ierce advocate for her students, who take ELL courses to hone their English skills and prepare for the college-level reading and writing classes that are prerequisites for many other courses. 16
She estimates there are about 100 students in the ive ELL courses – reading, two levels of writing, listening and speaking – on the Moorhead campus. The majority are from the Middle East and Africa, and there’s also a large group from Nepal. “I love to see these students overcoming,” Anderson says. “They are overcomers. They teach me every day. It’s hard to complain about your car not starting when they tell you about watching 20 members of their family being slaughtered.” Anderson inds herself teaching others about her students, too, explaining that immigrants have the economic means and move voluntarily, while refugees are resettled by the United Nations “and they literally have nothing.” The reality, she says, is that her ELL students have to work much harder than native English speakers to succeed in college, and at the same time most also have full-time jobs. Some grew up in refugee camps and have no prior experience in formal education, but others were professionals – aeronautical engineers, Min inne nesota State Community and Tec echn hnic ical al Col o le lege g ge
journalists, civil engineers, mechanical engineers and dentists – in their home countries. Some previously worked for the U.S. military. Most are leeing war or were driven from their homes by political or economic conditions. Anderson says a common goal of many of her students is a career in nursing or another health care profession, and quite a few already work as nursing assistants or in janitorial jobs in medical facilities. “These students want to give back,” she says. “They just want to contribute.”

Dykhoff inspires students to climb to new heights
W
ayne Dykhoff wants his students to always remember that they’re “working with a pencil that doesn’t have an eraser.” “Safety is huge. Mistakes – you don’t want them to happen,” says Dykhoff, now in his ninth year as an instructor in the Electrical Line Worker Technology program on M State’s Wadena campus. He also graduated from the Wadena program, as did his father, two uncles and four cousins. “If you asked students, the vast majority are here because their dad, their uncle, their cousin, their brother came here before,” he says. “If you know somebody who’s a line worker, you know how good a job it is.” Dykhoff did play baseball brie ly for M State before enrolling in the line worker program, but baseball couldn’t compete with the attraction of a job that would let him work outside year-round – albeit often atop 35-foot high-voltage power lines in blistering heat, numbing cold and blustery winds. Despite the harsh working conditions, M State has students lined up each year for the program, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in the fall of 2015. The 75 openings in the program – M State offers a two-year AAS degree and one-year diploma – are typically illed by March each spring, Dykhoff says, and another 25 students enroll at the program’s site in Baudette. The northern Minnesota program was created in 2010 in response to industry need for line workers. 20
After his own graduation from the line worker program, Dykhoff worked at Runestone Electric in Alexandria for about four years and nine years at ToddWadena Electric Cooperative before he took a leave of absence to try teaching. He’s still outside most of the year, working with fellow Wadena instructor Jeremy Hensel to acclimate students to working high in the air on the power poles that line the college’s 90-acre training site. He admits to occasionally escaping the cold, though. “I’ve got a heater in my pickup,” he says, laughing. “I tell the students I earned it.” To succeed in the program, Dykhoff says students need to understand electricity, learn to operate the equipment (including qualifying for a commercial driver’s license) and, of course, climb poles. “I start them at six feet and get them real comfortable, then go to 12,” he says. “Going from six to 12 makes them the most nervous. There are a lot of 20-year-old guys who aren’t afraid of anything, but they’re pretty nervous.” A highlight for him is talking with former students now working in the ield. “Probably the neatest part is seeing them a couple years down the road … and seeing the success they’ve had,” Dykhoff says.

For 50-plus years, racing has been a potent source of ideas at ArcƟc Cat. It has inspired the creaƟvity of our employees, our dealers and our customers. That compeƟƟve fire is why ArcƟc Cat has won so many races and produced so many excellent products. ArcƟc Cat has partnered with Minnesota State Community and Technical College and its PowerSports Technology program because of their passionate instructors who help insƟll that compeƟƟve fire in the students. ~ Kale Wainer, Arc c Cat

M State supporters make a difference During the 2014-15 academic year, the Moorhead Community and Technical College Founda on saw a fantas c response to the need for private investment in the success of students on M State’s Moorhead campus. In light of the current shortage of trained electricians in the region, the National Electrical Contractors Association – Dakotas Chapter reached out to the founda on to support students in our Electrical Technology department. With a generous dona on of $25,000, NECA seeded a scholarship fund to help create a permanent pipeline of highly qualified individuals ready to enter the workplace. The Home Builder Association of FargoMoorhead has been a strong partner of the trades at M State for many years, and M State alumni can be found throughout the regional building industry.
HBA CEO Bryce Johnson said, “Programs that focus on trades are very important to the homebuilding industry. The residen al market locally constantly needs plumbers, electricians and HVAC technicians. These careers can be rewarding, lucra ve opportuni es for young people, and M State provides a cri cal resource in quality training for those who will be the future of our industry.” In addi on to helping to fund and conduct the Herdina Academy, a program that gives high school students a summer hands-on experience in the building trades, the HBA also supports several scholarships on the Moorhead campus. MCTCF thanks these great supporters and the many more throughout the region who con nue to help keep the tradi on of strong technical and trade programs alive and well on the Moorhead campus.
Dr. Peggy Kennedy receives generous dona on of $25,000 from NECA.
