MIDWEST JOURNALISM CONFERENCE At this year’s Midwest Journalism Conference, we received seven regional awards in three different competitions. Three current interns, Marty Mueller, Tasha Olson, and Averi Haugesag all received individual awards. For the Upper Midwest Regional Student Production Awards, we had three nominees: Marty Mueller’s Public Wi-Fi Dangers in the category of serious news, Averi Haugesag’s Young Politicians of North Dakota in the category of talent, and Studio One in the category of newscast.

For the Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence Awards, we had two finalists: Marty Mueller’s Family Farm Fun in the category of feature reporting, and Studio One in the category of newscast. Finally, for the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association Eric Sevareid Awards, we won two awards of merit: Tasha Olson’s story, Bob’s Oil, in the category of soft feature, and Studio One in the category of weather.

Besides just attending the Midwest Journalism Conference, eleven interns visited five different businesses in the Twin Cities area. We met with the Minnesota Twins, Periscope Agency, SPS Commerce, WCCO News, and Evine Live. At each business tour they gave a presentation about their company and what they do. After that, each person told their stories about their career path. It was interesting because each person had a different story. One common theme that continued to arise during these conversations was networking. Almost every employee we talked to knew somebody, or knew somebody who knew somebody within the organization. Just going on these different business tours allowed us as students to make connections with people in the professional world. We have the contact information from every person we talked with, and for everyone who went on the trip, their network grew. Another thing that seemed to stick with most people from the trip was, continue to strive for your goals. If you set your heart, soul, and mind to something, you’re bound to achieve it in the end. This is especially true for reporters, for they usually have to start in a smaller, less attractive market to get their foot in the door. The reporters might not enjoy where they start, but if they continue to work hard and strive for their goals, they can break into a bigger market like Minneapolis.

SWOT EVALUATION

This is the evaluation of our original SWOT analysis.

INTERNSHIP Strengths

A strength is an internal factor that benefits the internship/program.

•

Quality Products − Season 55 allowed our interns to attend the Midwest Journalism Conference. Here, interns compete against studios all over the Midwest in a conference judging their best packages. This season, Studio One was able to bring home 6 awards to add to our already 600 national and regional awards.

•

Networking − Studio One has had over 1,000 interns go through its doors, allowing connections for the current interns in the professional field. We have also been in large contact with those alumni, having them come back to watch the show and its growth, and allowing the current interns to network on a one-on-one basis.

•

Scholarship − With such a high rate of competition and hard working environment, Studio One is always willing to give back to its interns. With a scholarship in place for only Studio One interns, this adds for more quality work, as well as a higher amount of applicants looking for that extra opportunity.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses in a SWOT analysis are qualities that prevent organizations from accomplishing their full potential, goals or objectives. To be a weakness the quality can be controlled by the organization.

•

Hard to market to freshmen − While freshmen are introducing themselves to the campus and all of the activities offered, Studio One is another way for students to be involved. With the implemented rule that all freshmen must live on campus starting in fall 2015, this will give a larger group to market to, making our jobs a little easier.

•

Segregated teams −

Studio One has been able to connect the teams in many different ways this season, than in others past. Normally, the news team will go out and get their packages on their own, but marketing team members were encouraged to go out and help. Another form of desegregation was the trip to the Midwest Journalism Conference, which included members from all teams.

-6-

•

Intimidation − With having an open internship, available to all majors and all years in school, Studio One has been able to lessen the idea of intimidation. This season, we have students from all grade levels, allowing a larger promotion of a successful and beneficial internship.

Opportunities

An opportunity is defined as an external element that an organization does not have control over but can have a positive impact on the program.

•

Faculty support − During the semester we were lucky enough to get in contact with professors at UND and give presentations in classrooms on the internship. It allowed us to target students who would be interested in applying for Studio One. We received 60 applications this semester. The UND faculty were very helpful in arranging a time that our interns could go and inform students about Studio One. It was a great support that we had for the program.

•

New Baron Weather System − The new weather system that we had this semester really made the graphics for our weather stories stand out. It will continue to make our weather segments look professional and keep our weather team excited. It was also a great way to market to atmospheric science majors to get their interest in the program.

•

Academic Credit − Students highly appreciate the flexibility with the internship to receive academic credit. Recruitment for the program can rest on the fact that students can balance an internship and their regular class load by receiving academic credit. Students who successfully went through the program were given a little more than a very professional work environment and great training this spring semester.

Threats

A threat is defined as an external issue that an organization does not have control over.

•

Other organizations’ advertisements − This last spring and upcoming fall saw a trend of many students applying for an internship at Studio One. We received 60 applications this spring for the upcoming fall semester. Our advertisements at the dining centers, our posters around campus, and our classroom presentations really helped get people aware of what Studio One is and what a great program it is.

•

Tuesday/Thursday class − The quick timeframe that students received to be an intern at Studio One was appreciated. It gave students interested to see how well they could manage their -7-

schedule for the upcoming Fall semester. It allowed students to be flexible by giving them the time they needed to get all their affairs in order.

SHOW Strengths •

Audience Experience − Spring Break this semester made it difficult for everyone on the marketing team to be there the week of that show. Each member was able to fill in missing positions spots and did a great job making sure it was like every other show day.

•

Guest Appearances − All of our guests this semester had diverse content they brought on the show. We were also able to interview one of our own interns John “Christmas” Bommelman.

•

Cover UND Content − A lot of the stories that were covered were related to UND. Having the opportunity to interview university facility made it easier to enhance our marketing on campus through the different university topics.

Weaknesses •

Construction − This semester a lot of construction was done to the building. This may have been the cause of some of technical difficulties we faced on show days.

•

Budget − Every semester our funds are limited, but because of this we really have to sit down and brainstorm different ideas to market for Studio One. This makes the process more creative and our ideas even better.

•

Not in HD yet − Our program has had major upgrades. However we are still one step away from broadcasting fully in HD. We are very hopeful that this upgrade will happen in the next couple years.

-8-

Opportunities • • • • • •

Kelsey Erickson − Utilizing Kelsey allowed us to get more posters, tickets, and other materials out faster.

Experienced Reporters − The quality of our packages has improved this semester, more reporters are doing stand ups in their packages, and we were able to bring back the spotlight package.

UND staff chat − We sent out emails to UND staff through Listserv and invited them to our show Social Media − We had two interns managing each account allowing us to post more content.

Individual Stories for the Website − We are also going to be posting our video segments on our website to get the chance to reach more viewers as well.

New Baron Weather System − The weather studio just received a new graphic system that will be used during the live show.

Threats •

Parking − The parking lots near the building require campus parking passes. If a guest or audience member does not have a parking pass, it may be hard for them to find a spot to park.

•

Time of Live Show − We post individual stories online allowing people who are unable to see the live show, watch it at a later time.

•

The Dakota Student − They report news relevant to UND specifically which may be more interesting to students.

Competing News Stations − More popular news stations may gain more viewership because more people know about them.

Location − We’re farther away from central campus and it may be hard for people to find.

•

• •

Internal newsletter − Handed out to interns and staff once a week on show day − Meant to encourage communication between interns − Visual newsletter that includes upcoming events, spotlights on staff members and teams, the internal competition, etc.

E-news letter − 6 e-newsletters Field trip − AE2S: Some of the interns took a field trip to AE2S, located in Grand Forks, to hear about some of their marketing and business strategies.

Internal Competition The marketing team competition was established to encourage all Studio One interns to help with recruitment and increase communication between all of the teams. All of the interns were divided up into two teams; the pink team and the green team.

The goal was for each intern to earn points for their team. The team with the most points would win an end of the season pizza party. The way an intern could win points was by volunteering at a booth, speaking at a classroom presentation, nominating someone for the internship, wearing the Studio One shirt on t-shirt days, participation in recruitment events, inviting guests to the show, and participating in the weekly internal newsletter games.

-12-

It was a great way to strengthen the internal bonds between the teams. It also helped the marketing team with the recruitment of the internship and the program. The winner for season 55 was the green team.

SOCIAL MEDIA GOALS Facebook •

The marketing team will post stories and try and reach out to more students. o Beginning of Semester - 1,150 followers o Goal - 1,200 followers o Actual (ending semester) - 1,140 followers*

* This drop in likes is because Facebook purged likes from closed accounts, including memorialized and deactivated ones.

E-News Stories 4 Questions to Ask Yourself When Applying For Jobs By: Haley Steinwand Not everyone enjoys the process of applying for jobs. This can be especially stressful for students graduating. It doesn’t help either with statistics like “roughly 8.5 percent of college graduates between the ages of 21 and 24 were unemployed” (Economic Policy Institute). Reading something like that doesn’t make you want to jump up and apply for a plethora of new jobs, does it? Asking yourself the following 4 precise yet simple questions should help in your quest for employment 1.

Do I WANT this job?

Yes, a paycheck is essential. I mean who doesn’t love money? And lots of it. But, before you search, and perhaps land the wrong job, read the duties and responsibilities section cautiously. After doing this and still wanting the job, your enthusiasm will show through your cover letter and hopefully your interview.

2.

Do I QUALIFY for this job?

Of course, you can do anything you set your mind to! But even if youknow that you could do the job that is defined, applying may be a waste of your time if you don't meet most of the requirements. Human resources may stop your application from going on to the next level if you don’t meet their basic needs. Make sure you read the requirements or qualifications section in the job description carefully, you will have a much better chance of making it through the screening process.

3.

Can I SEE myself working for this company/employer?

Before applying for jobs you should have a list of target employers that you would like to work for. If not do some research and find some reviews from previous employees to see if it is a good place to work. Your extensive research will show that while the job sounds great and you may qualify for it, working for this employer would be a decision that would be best avoided.

-18-

4.

Do I KNOW anyone who works at the company?

“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” In our generation it is all about networking, especially when it comes to getting a job. When you know an existing employee in the company and he/she submits your resume and vouches for you, your chances of being considered for an interview nearly double. If you have answered YES to the three questions above, why not cash in a favor from a friend.

By asking yourself these 4 simple questions before applying for a job you will be able to save yourself time and hardship. The time and hardship that could be spent on applying for that PERFECT job for you.

From Studio One to Tinsel Town

by Mason Mongeon

Laura (first row, second from right) received the Recognition of Excellence her first semester.

Laura Aldridge majored in communication while attending the University of North Dakota. Going into college, Laura didn’t exactly know what she wanted to pursue. During her sophomore year, she did an internship with Studio One and was part of the graphics team. Laura then got the chance to be on the news team as a feature reporter. During the live show day, she held the role of technical director. “Coming into college I had no idea of what I wanted to do.

After interning with Studio One, I realized this is something I really want to do.”

Studio One wasn’t the only internship Laura was part of while attending school.

The summer going into her junior year, Laura interned with Fallon Worldwide, a full-service advertising agency located in Minneapolis. The following summer, Laura interned at The Ellen DeGeneres Show in Los Angeles, California.

Following her internship, they offered a job as a production assistant.

Immediately after graduating from UND in the fall of 2010, Laura packed her car and headed back to the City of Angels to start her career in the entertainment industry.

-20-

Currently, Laura works for the award-winning entertainment production company, Bunim/Murray Productions, as a post production coordinator.

Bunim/Murray is known for various reality shows including Total Divas, The Real World, Project Runway, Bad Girls Cluband Keeping up with the Kardashians (which Laura currently is involved with.) Laura is in charge of overseeing various teams, making sure everything that goes out is approved and on track for delivery. Laura is responsible for making sure that deadlines are met by editors and producers. In the past, Laura has also helped cast for reality shows including Bad Girls Club, Real World, and season five of Wipe Out.

-21-

From here, Laura says she would love to be a post-production supervisor, which is currently her next step. As a post-production supervisor she would be in charge of staffing an entire team to work in post-production. The roles are vital in ensuring that the post production budget it manageable and achievable, and that all deadlines are met.

When I asked Laura how Studio One helped her in the workplace after graduation, she simply replied with, “How hasn’t it helped me?” Laura said Studio One was a great internship and noted that the hands-on experience is something she valued because it was similar to the real world. Studio One is centered around four key themes: professionalism, communication, quality, and teamwork. It’s exactly those four themes that Laura said truly are what makes up Studio One.

Laura visits Studio One as an alumni and poses with TV Center staff.

L-R: Barry Brode, Marv Leier, Laura Aldridge, Suzanne Irwin, Stephanie Flyger, Lori Shafer

Laura’s biggest tip following graduation is to keep in contact with everyone.

“Networking is huge, especially in this business. Being positive and smart, even if you get a bad job, put a smile on and act like you love it. You’re always being interviewed.” Laura’s advice for someone looking to go into the entertainment industry like her is to, “Simply do it. Make the move. It is scary but don’t be afraid to try it. If you have a goal, work to achieve it.”

Laura, along with many other Studio One alumni, has used the experience to go out and land jobs in various fields. For Laura, Studio One helped her decide what she wanted to pursue in life and gave her the hands on experience she needed to land that first job after college. Studio One is a great way for students to gain valuable experience, network with others, and make everlasting memories- all in a professional setting. Studio One also helps prepare students for what lies ahead. And come graduation, they’re ready to take any job in America, from the Big Apple all the way to Tinsel Town.

How Social Media can Help or Hurt Your Career

by Mason Mongeon

Social media has become a powerful tool. We use social media to connect with friends and family, keep in touch with current events, and even share information with complete strangers. Social media can be a harmful or helpful tool, when it comes to your career. It all depends on how you use it.

What a lot of people don’t always realize is that social media can be an influential tool when it comes to the professional world. I’m sure everyone has heard “be careful what you post online because it can come back and haunt you.” One thing people might not be familiar with is how exactly you can use social media to your advantage in your career. One example is online profiles and resumes. The Internet is always on. This means that you can post your professional skills and experience, and make that information available to people anywhere, anytime. LinkedIn is a great example of this. Users can utilize LinkedIn as a way for potential employers to search for them and see your skills and experience. LinkedIn also helps users stay connected to colleagues and friends and is a great way to network.

Another example of how social media can help you in your career is by making new connections through people you know. Social media makes it easy to connect or stay in touch with people. But you can also utilize social media to make new connections that may lead to that breakthrough in your dream career. People will come and go in your professional experiences, but they all make up the fabric of your social network.

Yesterday’s high school classmates might be today’s business partners. Today’s teammates and supervisors might be tomorrow’s valued contacts and references.

Network, network, network: this is the key to today’s success. When you have a positive professional relationship with someone, you can put in a good word for that person and that person can do the same for you.

While social media can be very beneficial as you navigate towards success, it can be dangerous if used in the wrong way. First we will start with the obvious, the Internet is open for all to see. What you post on the Internet is anything from private, and it leaves a trail. Photos, status updates, tweets, blog posts, and comments on other people’s blogs are all traceable, and can impact your reputation. The delete/edit button call lull you into a false sense of security, but the reality is that even things

-24-

you think have been erased can be retrieved or live on inside search engines. Beware of zombie content!

The next way social media can harm you in the professional world is not keeping professional and personal separate. The line between personal and professional is getting more and more blurred, and nowhere is this more apparent than on social media. It’s critical to keep all public interaction professional, regardless of which social media site you’re on. A good rule to follow is to never post anything you wouldn’t want a boss or prospective employer to see. Sounds common sense, but it’s the number one rule to follow when posting anything on social media. People do extensive research on various sites before they hire you. Is that spring break picture of you doing a beer bong on the beach really worth posting on your Facebook when, like I mentioned earlier, it will never actually be erased?

One last example of how social media can harm you is the timing of your social media postings. Because most online content is time-stamped, your current or future employer can easily determine if you’re regularly posting online content during work hours, and depending on their policies, that can get you fired. It’s a boring day at work and you are checking your Facebook or Twitter on a work computer. You aren’t posting anything so how can your boss know if you are Facebooking during work hours? Well now days all work computers are connected. And everything you do on that work computer can be traced. Every site you visit, every folder you browse through and even every application you open on that work computer can be viewed by someone in the company, and that person has the power to get you into serious trouble if you are not careful.

Social media is embedded in today’s society. By simply being aware of what you are posting is the most important thing to think of when using social media. By taking

advantage of the various uses, it can help you make all sorts of connections that can lead to that job opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

You’re Always Being Interviewed

by Haley Steinwand Networking is a crucial skill to have in the business world. Making connections isn’t about the gigantic stack of different business cards you may have. The key to creating a network you can rely on is making connections for precise reasons and discovering people who will help you and you can help in return. Networking is looking at every situation as an interview. Wherever you go and whoever you meet could be a potential opportunity for your future.

Having the mindset that you are always being interviewed is a key concept of networking.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70 percent of all jobs are found through networking. So by treating every conversation you have as an interview you’ll land more actual interviews and [hopefully] job offers. As a professional you don’t want to miss the opportunity to turn a casual meeting into the kind of interview that ensures you will be highly regarded and remembered for job openings.

Katy Wilson, a Studio One alumni and recent UND college grad, is a prime example of how you’re always being interviewed when it comes to networking. Wilson was on a shoot for Studio One at a company in Grand Forks called JLG Architects. While she was there she spent all of her set-up and take-down time having a casual conversation about Studio One and her plans following graduation with Jim Galloway, a partner in the company. Before she left, he took her on a tour of the office and introduced her to the marketing director. After the shoot Wilson followed up with them and they brought her in to visit about the company from a marketing perspective, not knowing that when she arrived she was actually there for an interview.

She spent 3 months as a paid intern for the company before being rolled into a full-time position. Wilson is currently the marketing assistant, but her main focus is on event planning and social media marketing.

-27-

As Katy Wilson went more in depth about her first experience at JLG Architects, she stated that the experience was very professional, but comfortable at the same time. Networking is something that Wilson values greatly, so when she talks about her experience interviewing Galloway she says, “It allowed me to get to know Jim Galloway on a more personal level beyond just what I was there to interview him about. I believe those are the best interviews, because most people are terrified of being in front of a camera so if you can make them feel at ease they may share things with you that they wouldn't have otherwise.” Wilson showed up to interview Galloway in a professional manner but also was able to make a connection with him. After her internship experience she was offered a full-time job through a connection that she had made, the process of finding a job became very simple and stress-free.

Networking defines the simple notion of developing and sustaining meaningful relationships with those who have similar interests, which can lead to wonderful experiences and opportunities. When it comes to networking and making that certain connection, it is worth taking the extra step. You don’t want to miss out on opportunities because you treated informal meetings and networking events with the same deference you’d give a casual conversation riding the bus. Successful people will tell you that they treat every conversation as a job interview.

INTERNAL NEWSLETTER Every week, three members of the marketing team, Kelsey Erickson, Peter Monsrud, and Tori Pappenfus, designed and distributed an internal newsletter titled, Backstage Pass. The newsletter was a great way to keep interns and staff updated on Studio One news, events, and information. Backstage Pass included internal competition scores, recognition of excellence winners, upcoming events, and a variety of other information.

The newest addition to the internal newsletter was the spotlight on staff members and teams, and the games interns could complete to earn more points for the internal competition. These were added to help the staff and interns become more familiar with one another, and to increase the popularity of Backstage Pass. Having a weekly newsletter helped keep everyone at Studio One up to date and on the same page when it came to vital, and not so vital, information.

Graphics

While creating promotional graphics, we wanted to use a personal approach to inform people of the deadline of Studio One. We used pictures of interns and their personal goals to attract student’s attention by noticing familiar faces while walking in the hallways. Also, we wanted to keep consistency with table tents, coffee sleeves along with show tickets to generate a recognizable image/message.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features extreme athletes This week on Studio One, Flyboard World Cup competitor Jesse Gavic will talk about his sport. Also, one woman is biking and kayaking around the globe.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Jesse Gavic, a 20-year-old college student, is involved in a new sport: flyboarding. It has given him the opportunity to compete worldwide and even start his own business.

“Flyboarding essentially is a board connected to a hose, and that hose is then connected to the back of the jet ski. You go up about 50 feet in the air,” said Gavic. Last December, he had the opportunity to travel to Dubai and compete for the Flyboarding World Cup. Although he did not place, he had an amazing experience and hopes to return again.

Sarah Outen is three-quarters of the way done with her global expedition of biking, boating, and kayaking from London and back. She has cycled over 11,000 miles across Europe, Russia, China and now the United States. Outen is the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska. “My offshoot goal, apart from arriving back home safely having had a huge adventure, is to share the story, particularly with youngsters.” She plans to arrive back in London in September 2015.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features a success expert and a lovebird 5K This week on Studio One, Director of UND’s Student Success Center Shari Nelson talks about students who struggle. Also, one couple runs together to strengthen their bond.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A recent Gallup report on the state of America’s schools suggests that a large majority of college students in the U.S. are not success-ready. Shari Nelson, the Associate Director at the UND’s Student Success Center, helps the students who are included in those statistics. “The programming that we have is not only for students who are at risk or struggling, but also students who want to be proactive about doing well in college,” says Nelson. She defines a success-ready student as someone who knows what his or her goals are. According to the Gallup report, 32 percent of students reported they feel stuck in their lives and lack hope for the future.

People celebrate love in many different ways. Every winter, the Lovebirds 5K winds through the heart of downtown Grand Forks. Despite the -44 degree wind chills, Don and Diane Aandal lace up to take on the tough weather, together. "It's nice, it's something we do together, and we're happy to be here,” says Don. Coming together as a team can increase a couple’s bond. Celebrating accomplishments made together creates an overall feeling of wellbeing and happiness. "For me, it's a feeling of accomplishment; you put in hours and hours of training and it pays off. And that's what’s nice when you cross the finish line,” says Diane.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features carbon monoxide safety tips and an injured athlete turned artist

This week on Studio One, a fire marshal talks about the dangerous gases your car produces. Also, one man makes art in a unique way.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. —“If you’re going to start your car in the morning, pull it outside, don’t let it run inside the garage,” says Grand Forks Fire Marshal Brian Geatz. The reason is a colorless, odorless, deadly gas. Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the U.S. each year. Geatz says some people may not even know if they’ve been exposed to carbon monoxide. “Headache, nausea that sort of thing, that’s kind of the scariest part about it,” says Geatz. He says carbon monoxide detectors are the best way to sniff out the gas.

In a small garage, Charlie Confer creates Trees-By-Charlie. “Doing my trees, and doing my art, takes me to a little piece of paradise, it’s where I go for sanity and sanctuary,” says Confer. His craft of choice is trees. “Trees are so unique and one of a kind,” says Confer. Beginning with one strand of wire, he bends and twists it to proper lengths in order to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. After an intense career in wrestling and heavy weight lifting, Confer was left with a debilitating back injury. Confer began exploring various forms of therapy through his arts.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features a unique professor and a mental health advocate This week on Studio One, a professor engages his students by keeping class entertaining. Also, a UND staff member goes above and beyond to make sure students are happy and healthy.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. —Doug Munski is a geography professor at the University of North Dakota who has been working hard to engage students for almost 50 years. “He’s such a character and that definitely makes him a lot of fun,” says David Winosa, a teaching assistant for one of Munski’s classes.

Doug Munski passes out candy to “ease the stress of students’ busy lives.” He is known around campus for handing out Doug’s Candy Pebbles. “ He always carries a bag in the pocket of his suit jacket,” says Megan Limke, an undergrad student. Widman’s candy store even named the pebbles after Munski because he bought them so often for his students.

One out of 10 young adults report having experienced a major depression episode, but most do not seek help. Lacey Erickson is included in these statistics. In high school, she sought a counselor and says she couldn’t imagine her life without that help. Now she helps other young adults seek the help they need and to get past the stigma associated with mental health issues. She started the #noshame campaign on the UND campus. She hopes to encourage people to find help. “It’s really based upon students telling their story, students who have gone and sought help, their success story and how it’s helped them,” says Erickson. “I really want to expand this to high schools, I want this to be something where we can develop the materials.”

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features a unique professor and computer coding for kids This week on Studio One, a professor engages his students by keeping class entertaining. Also, one elementary school in Fisher, Minn. is teaching their kids computer coding skills.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. —Doug Munski is a geography professor at the University of North Dakota who has been working hard to engage students for almost 50 years. “He’s such a character and that definitely makes him a lot of fun,” says David Winosa, a teaching assistant for one of Munski’s classes.

Widman’s candy store even named the pebbles after Munski because he bought them so often for his students.

Lynette Montgomery, Technology Coordinator at Fisher Elementary, is teaching third and fourth graders a 21st century skill: computer coding. “We just started about five weeks ago, and it’s been a wonderful thing because coding is used in everything and every job you have,” says Montgomery.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says by 2020 the U.S. will need to fill 1.4 million computer-science jobs, but only 400,000 people will be qualified. With help in the form of videos from Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, these kids are looking forward to the future. The school plans to expand the coding program to other grades next year.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features veteran students and a growing workout community.

This week on Studio One, one woman has a passion for helping veterans attain their goals. Also, one gym has found a way to make working out a group event.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. —Jessica Rosencrans reaches out to veteran students and make sure their transition is smooth. “We will offer students who have served active duty time in-state tuition. If a veteran military student is deployed while they are going to school, we will give them a 100 percent refund because it’s not their choice,” says Rosencrans. She says a big challenge they face is being surrounded by traditional students and having a completely different perspective than them. She says that for veterans, going back to school is much like a job to them. They are not necessarily here for the social aspect, but to better themselves instead. Rosencrans also works with staff on campus to help students handle PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injuries). She recognizes that it is not an easy step for these students to attend college at different points in their life, but knows it is possible. She is there to support those who choose to take that step and help them along the way.

Crossfit is a growing trend in the United States that is gaining more attention. Travis Tribula coaches both beginners and Crossfitters. “It’s about making other people’s lives better and watching them grow,” says Tribula. He says the community that is formed is just as important “Whenever you go to any other gym you never really get to know the people. Coming into Crossfit, you get to know the people, the community grows and you become friends outside the gym.” Crossfit incorporates your entire body and you can always expect variety.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features Rubik’s Cube world record holder and youth in archery.

This week on Studio One, one UND student has two world records solving a Rubik’s cube, and one girl dreams of going to the Olympics in archery.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — John Bommelman is a UND student with multiple world records for solving a Rubik’s Cube. He figured out that he was pretty good at this puzzle, and decided to compete against other ‘cubers.’ Bommelman competed in the World Cube Association competition in 2009 and left with two world records, one for fewest moves (19) and another for fewest moves while blindfolded.

“There’s this cube I would like to complete, called the God’s Cube and I believe its 14x14. There is no cheat sheet or tutorials on how to solve it. You basically just sit down and figure it out,” says Bommelman. He is currently in search of some local competitions to attempt to achieve more records.

Archery is a unique sport in that you compete against other people, but first compete against yourself.

Hatley Hedletved is only eight years old, but has a goal to make it to the Olympics. She says the reason she’s excelled is because of all the self-confidence she’s gained. “It’s kind of fun getting all these awards and doing your best,” says Hatley. Her mom, Penny, says traveling to competitions as a family helps a lot too. It takes support from the whole family to work towards their daughter’s Olympic dreams.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features diversity inclusion and a unique beard business

This week on Studio One, one woman has a dream for diversity inclusion. Also, aman has started a unique business for bearded men.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — According to the Center for American Progress, our nation is becoming more diverse every day. The Associate Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion at UND, Sandra Mitchell, recognizes this growth and thinks it is important that college students do too. UND is considered a “Diverse College Campus” but to her, there is much more to it. “If you think about it, everybody is different. The minute you have more than one person on campus, you’re a diverse campus. What makes a campus an inclusive one is very different. An inclusive campus is one that respects that diversity,” says Mitchell. She is making strides to educate students, staff, and the world about why diversity and inclusion are important, especially today. Her one true dream remains the same. “My dream for UND and for Grand Forks would be that we don’t need people to guide these efforts, and that they become as natural as breathing.”

Josh Evenson is an entrepreneur, who created Dakotah Beard Oils, and feels he has something to contribute to the bearded community. "It’s an all-natural product that promotes growth, and provides relief if you have itchy skin," says Evenson. He began with trial and error of different scents, like floral cinnamon and fresh cut wood. He then added essential oil blends in order to make each beard unique.

Evenson considers Dakotah Beard Oils to be more of a hobby then a business. He says he enjoys personally delivering his product because it gives him a chance to meet his fellow bearded men.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features new medical technology and engineers who race cars This week on Studio One, technology is making emergency medical care easier and a group of students apply their engineering knowledge to something fun.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — One new piece of technology is revolutionizing CPR, making it more effective and doing what paramedics can’t. The LUCAS device is a machine that paramedics strap onto the patient, providing constant and accurate CPR. As soon as the machine is strapped on the patient, the paramedics have their hands free to perform other necessary actions. “The LUCAS device never gets tired. We put the device on, it does perfect CPR for as long as we want it to,” says paramedic Tim Nesdahl. Through separate grants of more than $7 million to state health departments in North and South Dakota, the Helmsley Charitable Trust funded the use of the LUCAS device in more than 400 ambulances.

Each year, the University of North Dakota Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) team puts together a race car for Formula One racing events. A formula race car is a single-seat, open cockpit, open-wheel racing car with the motor positioned behind the driver. With the exception of the engine, the team builds the car from scratch. “We cut all the tubes and weld it together, wire the car, buy all the individual components or cut them as needed. A lot of the actual work is done in house versus purchasing things,” says SAE President, David Weaver. This year, the Formula One competition is at the end of June.

University of North Dakota’s award-winning television program features two people who have a passion for animals This week on Studio One, we welcome the education director from the Red River Zoo in Fargo. Also, one woman has a small farm in her backyard.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — From the age of 18, Erica Prokrym knew she wanted a job working with animals. She is now the education director at the Red River Zoo in Fargo, North Dakota. “I love getting people excited about science and biology. I love when they are excited about things they didn’t know before,” says Prokrym. She loves all types of animals, but really has a special fascination with Australian native animals. She says that these animals represent a spectrum. Some of them are wild, and some can be house pets. They are not endangered but not invasive as well. She will be showing us a bearded dragon, a lesser Sulphur-crested cockatoo, and a cane toad – all from Australia.

Backyard chickens are quickly gaining popularity. Harvesting eggs save families hundreds of dollars a year on produce, and the chickens eat bugs around the yard, acting as a natural garden fertilizer. "We I think we have about 60 hens and we get anywhere from 2 to 4 dozen eggs a day," says Angie Vasek, chicken owner. Raising chickens in a rural environment is now being taken inside city limits by a new trend of urban farming, but noise, odor and public health issues are all a concern.
