A native of Columbus, N.D., Dewayne “Dewey” Sundby was an assistant coach at the University of North Dakota from 1959 to 1965. Prior to his time at UND, Dewey had several head coaching experiences in Minnesota high school football, and he developed the reputation of having excellent athletic teams as well as outstanding studentathletes. During his time at UND, the Fighting Sioux compiled a 3119-2 record and won the North Central Conference title in 1964. A certified flight instructor, Dewey left coaching in the spring of 1965 to begin a successful career as a commercial airline pilot with United Airlines. Those who played for Dewey at UND remember his devotion to the game and to the players. His spirit and enthusiasm towards athletics and positively influence on student-athletes will always be remembered. The Dewayne “Dewey” Sundby Athletic Endowment has been established anonymously by a former UND football player. 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

144 2015 MEDIA GUIDE :: SCHOLARSHIPS & ENDOWMENTS
The Todd Thomas Memorial Endowment/HOG Fund was established by the UND Foundation to honor Todd, who passed away in 2000 at the age of 40, and to keep his legacy of excellence alive. Originally set up as a memorial scholarship in 2000, the award was modified in 2003 as a way to support the priority needs of the UND offensive line (the “Hogs”). Each year’s support gift is chosen by the award winner, the UND offensive linemen and offensive line coach. In support of this endowment, former Sioux lineman Jay Hilbert (1977-82) has helped form a HOG Executive Committee with more than 20 members to help in enhancing this endowment. Todd Thomas left his mark at UND as an outstanding athlete and an excellent student. Todd was an all-conference offensive tackle and graduated with cum laude honors in chemical engineering. Todd was drafted in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. After playing four years in the NFL and the USFL, Todd fell back on his engineering degree. Todd eventually became the holder of seven patents and was considered a worldwide expert in underbalanced drilling techniques, which helped revolutionize underground oil and gas recovery. 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
