Thefollowing alumns have been inducted into the Winona State University 2005 Athletic Hall ofFame.
WSU's Hall of Fame Committee wrestled with some tough decisions as they chose this year's inductees. Each year, past Winona State University athletes or coaches are honored for their athletic achievements and personal successes. In September 2005, five Winona State University graduates were inducted into the Winona State University Athletic Hall of Fame. The awards were presented to John Delozier, '61, of Cold Spring, Minn.; Leif Nelson, '84, of Rochester, Minn.; Robert Stark, '51, of Caledonia, Minn.; Kathleen Cemensky Allen, '73, of Baraboo, Wis.; and Merle Sovereign, '67, of Cresco, Iowa.

"Winona State alumni go out into the world as an educated populace at every level," said Dehlin Zeiher.
"We're providing health care workers, engineers, artists and many other professionals all of whom bring richness and depth not only to Winona but throughout the U.S. and beyond its borders.The awards of distinction alumni are proof that WSU's mission is being accomplished."
-
The Distinguished Alumni award recognizes graduates ofWSU who have gone on to achieve prominence in their chosen profession. The DistinguishedYoung Alumniaward recognizes graduates 35 years of age or younger who have distinguished themselves through their work or community involvement. The selfless efforts of individuals who have significantly enhanced the university's mission and excellence are recognized with the Distinguished Service award.
Dan Schumacher, WSU director of athletic development, said the inductees are excellent examples of WSU alumni who were leaders as students as well as leaders in their communities.
"All of these inductees truly mirror the university's mission; a community of learners dedicated to improving our world," said Schumacher. "They have impacted the world andthe communities they live in during their post graduation years."
The Hall of Fame award recipients are graduates or past coaches ofWSU who were nominated by a Hall of Fame Committee member or by someone in the general public. The committee examines a nominee's years of success as a student athlete and evaluates their efforts at living the mission ofWSU after graduation.
The first Hall of Fame induction was in 1986. Since then, 102 people have received this honor.

WSU’s 14th President
On Friday, Aug. 22, 2005, at the end of her first week as WSU's new president, Tom Grier, WSU direcor of University Communication, sat down with Dr. Judith Ramaley for a 20 Questions-style interview to help readers of Winona Currents get to know her better.
Ta When you were a child, what did you want to be when you m grew up?
J WhenI was five years old, a kindergarten teacher asked us = that question. She enjoyed my answer so much that she shared it with my parents and it has been a fun family story. I said I wanted to be a carpenter and a doctor so I could build my own office and then be a doctor there. TG:
|
Where did you grow up?
j
= All over the place. My father worked for an oil company so m the old saying "have mind, will travel" was a focal point for us. I lived in at least a half-dozen places while growing up. At the time, I didn't like moving that much. Later, I could look back and see that it gave me a wonderful set of skills and an attitude that wherever I am is home.
TG
a You graduated with a bachelor's degree in zoologyfrom = Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. How did you choose to go to Swarthmore?
IR:
As a high school student, I was very serious about my = education. I wanted to be around other serious students. I loved thinking about the big questions. I visited several places known for academic excellence. I didn't rely on college viewbooks or catalogs. I sat in the student union and listened to what people were talking about. I walked into the Biology department and talked to faculty. I read the bulletin boards. I concluded that Swarthmore had the atmosphere and the seriousness that fit my desire to learn with interesting people and find ways to put knowledge to good use.
TG
a Did you work rightafter obtainingyour bachelor's degree?
]
irk
No, I went straight to grad school. Life is all about = connections. I stayed in contact with a couple people I had met at Swarthmore when I was a freshman who had gone on to UCLA to study at the graduate level. They said it was great and I trusted them.
GTYou earned a Ph.D. in anatomyfrom UCLA. Describe m your dissertation research and your career goals afterfinishing that degree?
My dissertation focused on the physiology of puberty in female rats. WhenI finished the program, I had no specific career plan. I just knew that I wanted to bea scientist and a professor. I thought the pinnacle of life would be to establish a research lab andteach occasionally. Why occasionally? Because that is what I saw medical school faculty doing— a dozen lectures a year was a heavy teaching load. I wanted to be a leader in neuroendocrinology, a fieldthat was just getting its footing in those days.
GTYou've been a college president twice before. Describe a those experiences and how you think they will be similar or dissimilar to your tenure at Winona State University?
There are several things in common already. Everywhere I have been, people want to be noticed and taken seriously. They want their work to be appreciated. I enjoy that role. I'm sure there will be many important differences. One of the most exciting things for me is the chance to learn. Being a university president is a chance to work with talented and dedicated people across a broad range of fields who care deeply about education and putting knowledge to responsible use, and perhaps more importantly drawing students into that experience.
TDescribe your best day ever in higher education to this a point.
When MnSCU Chancellor James McCormick told me I had been selected to be the next president ofWinona State University. That soundsa bit over the top, but it was an answer to a dream for me. WhenI first was told about the opportunity here, I started to research the school. When I saw the mission statement on the web site, "a community of learners dedicated to improving our world" I knew instantly I wanted to be here and to be a part of that.
T6
Those in the WSU community want to get to know you a well. Tell us one thing aboutyourselfthat isn't generally known or that only thoseclosest to you know.
I am amazed at how comfortably and naturally I have found myselftalking about these things here. That's a tribute to the people of this community who have welcomed me so graciously and allowed me to be whoI really am. What you probably don't know about me is that I ama frustrated poet. I have wanted so badly to capture my reaction to the world in poetry. In reality, I'm better in conversations, so I read poetry instead.
What is your favorite color? a Before I came here to Winona, it was blue. Now, I've come to see the beauty in purple.

Is there a place in the world that is special to you, that a you like to return to often?
The Pacific Northwest. There's something about the shape of the land, the feel of the air, the sweep of the history. It feels alive. I've noticed many places along the upper Mississippi River that generate some of the same feelings. It's a land shaped by wind and water, worked by many people over the centuries and an environment that projects a deep sense of place.
GTIfa young person asked you today about the importanceofthe liberal arts in higher education, how would you respond?
First, I'd make the distinction between liberal arts courses, and the idea of a liberal education. The term “liberal arts” usually meansa set of disciplines. “Liberal education” means an approach to learning and inquiry, regardless of the subject matter. We are best served when we approach education witha spirit of inquiry, open to knowing that we don't know everything. A liberal education allows students— demands students— to approach all subjects with clarity of mind, honesty of questioning, and the ability to listen faithfully, setting aside previous experience to allow more learning.
TG
You've mentioned your children in a couple of the a welcoming sessions on campus. Please give a quick summary ofeach child and their activities.
I have two sons. Alan graduated from Stanford with a bachelor's degree in symbolic systems and a master's degree in computer science. He lives in Seattle and with two college classmates is building a company called The Platform which is an internet provider offering communication resources to large companies. My son, Andrew, first earned his RN (registered nurse) then earned a bachelor's of nursing degree on-line through the University of Kansas Medical Center, and is now an adult returning student pursuing a master's degree to become a nurse anesthetist. He and his wife, Ziba, are raising six children. I have learned so much from my children over the years. In fact, I like to say that my children have raised me.
TGIfyou could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, = who would it be and why?
I'd like to arrange a dinner party so we could have spirited discussion. I'd invite some of our nation's founding fathers and a couple of founding mothers. I'd be especially intrigued to dine with Benjamin Franklin, who was reported to be an excellent dinner companion. I'd also love to chat with Eleanor Roosevelt, particularly in her later years when she was pursuing human rights. I'd ask her what it was like to be the world's conscience.
TGThis sounds like a job interview question— and you a already have thejob- where do you see yourself in five years?
Here, happily part of the larger southeastern Minnesota community, working at WSU, which, by then, will have fully implemented all phases of the Winona Experience and will be enjoying the satisfaction of seeing its graduates wellprepared for the 21st century.
include a lab component where students: develop and practice their skills in forensic interviewing, investigate a report of maltreatment, and participate in mock trials.
Madland said she hopes these courses will provide the education child advocacy professionals need to protect children and families.
"I don't like to see kids slip through the cracks because people do a poor job in the field," said Madland. "Hopefully, courses like these will eliminate mistakes by professionals because they haven't had the appropriate education."
WSU andthe American Prosecutors Research Institute (APRI), the organization which helped create the NCPTC, will conduct research documenting the outcome of this new curriculum. They plan to show that child protection professionals completing this model curriculum do a better job of handling child abuse cases and need less on-the-job training than those professionals who have not completed the curriculum.
The NCPTC was created at Winona State University in 2003, under a federal earmark, to aid in the protection of children.
Developing a curriculum to train child-serving professionals was one of the NCPTC's main initiatives.
Vieth says the goal of the NCPTC is to virtually eliminate child abuse within three generations.

From spring training on, Williams stressed consistency in the pitching motion to Oliver Perez, helping the hard-throwing 23-year-old improve his control.
“I think he’s done a tremendous job with the entire staff,” says Manager McClendon.
Williams says his methods are based on developinga different approach to each pitcher.
“T try to individually mold myself to teach each guy to get the most out of himself,” he says. “You've got to find certain ways to get to people. I think that’s my strong suit. That and helping them understand how to be consistent with their pitching mechanics and execute pitches.”

A Journey Back in Time
ByJim Wagner ‘66
It seems the older we get, the more apt we are to travel down memory lane. I've made my share of those trips, but none more memorable than one I took last year.
A friend who knew of my past affiliation with Winona State asked ifIcould help arrange a campus visit for his college-bound daughter. It had been 35 years since WSU and I had parted company. Who could I contact?
There was one option, thanks to the WSU Currents magazine. I crossed my fingers for luck andshot an email into my past— to the late 1960's.
My e-mail landed on the computer screen of my former colleague, Dick Davis. He had been an art student in the 1960s and worked in the WSU publications office, which I directed. Dick was now director of publications at WSU. It took but a few brief exchanges to convince us we needed to re-acquaint ourselves. On a Saturday morning in March, I headed to Winona for a reunion with a time and place that had been my life for nearly 10 years. March mornings in Minnesota aren't particularly memorable. As I made my way through the twists and turns of old Highway 14, between Rochester and Winona, I was captivated by the hills and valleys, farms and forests, streams and serenity of that beautiful part of our State. Had I missed seeing all this before? Was it this way 40 years ago? I began to wonder why I had left.
About the author: Jim Wagner was thefirst director ofthe WSU publications office and print shop. In the late 1960s, as project director, he worked with designers to create a “logo”for the university. The result, the “W” beneath theflame, is still a primarygraphic symbolfor the university.
IT approached the little town of Stockton. My quiet, reflective drive was disrupted by an emerging billboard: WELCOME TO WINONA! The greeting was endorsed by two Winona establishments, one of them being Winona State University. There, emblazoned on the billboard, in brilliant crimson red was the WSU "FlamingW" logo. Neon could not have stabbed more sharply. I winced, looked again, then smiled. A curious conflict of emotions.
If I had been lost in the pageantry of the valley, I was now fully aware how close I was to my destination. I began to focus on the purpose of the trip. I reached the western city limits and took Highway 61 around Lake Winona to enter campus via Huff Street. The replica of the Steamer Wilke still held firm to its little corner of the world. Sugar Loaf loomed in the distance. I turned left toward town.
IfI was jolted by the sign in Stockton, I was stunned by the display on Huff Street. Every lamp post, and there were at least 50, bore a banner with a WSU slogan and the unmistakable logo. I breatheda sigh of relief at the color - purple and white, just as had been intended. It was all I could do to not pull over and stare down the length of that street, banner upon banner. I blushed with pride and drove on.
Crossing Sarnia Street, the campus came into view. I had to re-orient myself. This was not the place I left 35 years before. I recognized Sheehan Hall and Kryzsko Commons, but little else looked familiar from my vantage point. I headed in the direction I was certain would lead me to Somsen Hall. Dead ends here, parking lots there. New buildings everywhere. What have they done to my quiet little campus? I took some comfort with the repeating images of the logo on sign posts, buildings, indeed, everywhere I looked. I had to be in the right place.
Most reading this article may be wondering, "What's with this guy and his logo obsession?" To Winona Currents readers, the flaming W logo ofWinona State is probably commonplace and as mucha part of the milieu as Maxwell Library, Gildemeister, Somsen, and Memorial Halls. When I joined the Winona State staff,
its primary identification was the State College Seal— original, official, sanctioned, and never to be tampered with.
In the mid to late '60’s, the Minnesota State College System was going through growing pains and a search for its identity among all the other colleges and universities in the state. Ina short span of time, the five institutions then in the system had changed from teachers colleges, to state colleges, and were on the verge of a third change to state universities. While teacher preparation was still the major purpose, there was a steady influx of students seeking a broader based, liberal arts education. The state universities could not ignore the trend.
And from this writer's perspective, Winona ledthe way in many of these challenging transitions. That was the breeding ground fromwhich sprung the logo, an image which now appears on every letter, publication, diploma, document— even on lamp posts and billboards.
It took nearly two years to develop and gain approval for the classicGreek "W" with the flame rising from the middle stem. It was to symbolize the tradition and history ofWinona State, the enduring torch of education, the origins ofWestern civilization, and to strongly suggest the future of education in Winona. It was to be a subtle, yet unmistakable reflection of an institution that proudly claimed more than 100 years of academic excellence and was preparing tomeet head-on the challenges of the last third of the 20th century.
I take a bit of pride in having had some small part in the development of this enduring symbol, but more so in having been on campus when its pillars were being shaken at their foundations as the faculty, staff and administration sculpted a new vision for a quaint college nestled in the HiawathaValley of southeastern Minnesota.
The reunion? It was by no meansa leisurely stroll down memory lane. It was a race through time.
Dick Davis and I found an open door to those days we had shared, diligently blending our respective talents with the ideals and visions of a faculty and administration bent on charting a new course for WSU. Those were exciting times— times that came blazing back to the present and, at least with respect to the logo, times that live yet today. My trip back home was filled with thoughts and reflections of a time gone by. I recalled what Dick said as we parted, "Who says you can't go home again?"

A Healthy DYSE of Reality
Taking a college course at Winona State University isn't what it used to be. In many cases, gone are the days of sitting at a desk and taking notes until you are dismissed.
In WSU Assistant Professor of Health, Exercise and Rehabilitative Services Peter Sternberg's program planning class, students like Kelsey Mellard are getting an opportunity to do what they know. Mellard and her classmates were able to learn how public health works in the classroom and then apply their knowledge in the field by working with several different community organizations, such as Home and Community Options ofWinona.
"Sternberg's class gave me the opportunity to see what a possible career in public health with a non-profit agency would be like," said Mellard. "Rather than shadowing a professional, we were the professional, which wasa great learning opportunity."
This learning experience proved to be successful in more ways than one. The WSU students helped two Winona businesses win field. a statewide award.
BlueCross BlueShield of Minnesota
"My students are going out to promote health and that's going to be their profession," said Sternberg. "Doing that isn't an easy task. We can talk about it in the classroom, but going out into the community helps students deal with real issues in the field."
Denny Theede, executive director of Home and Community Options, said they have appreciated the support of Sternberg and hisstudents. Through the partnership, Home and Community Options was able to expand on three initiatives already in progress.
"The partnership is essential in training a new generation of professionals," said Theede, "and it's tremendously helpful to us as a non-profit organization. It gives students a look at the real world and it allows our community to grow stronger."
"My students are going out to promote health and that's going to be their profession. We can talk about it in the classroom, but going out into the community helps students deal with real issues in the
Home and Community Options and TRW Automotive, ofWinona, received the BlueCross BlueShield of Minnesota Champions of Health Award in March 2005. Champions of Health is a program that recognizes people who makea healthy difference in their workplace or community.
As a part of Sternberg's class, WSU students worked with local organizations to design and develop health programs based on the individual company's needs. The students designed a survey and conducted a needs assessment of the company's employees.
The students then did the research, discussed the results of the research with the company, advised the company on what programs would offer their employees the most benefit, and developed the programs.
Sternberg said hisstudents have been doing this type of work in the community for about a year anda half.
In January of 2004, Sternberg's students partnered with TRW's Wellness Committee to identify the activities that Assistant Profe€SSOr would start to address the health Peter Sternberg needs ofTRW's employees.
The WSU students developed a 20 question confidential health survey for TRW which was completed by 70% of the employees in the plant. Based on the results of the survey, the Wellness Committee decided to implement two activities: a health fair and an exercise program. The effort resulted in a 60% participation rate for the health fair and 50% of the employees took part in the first walking program.
Peter Bagshaw, TRW's human resources manager, said the programs were well received by employees.
"It has been a great opportunity for TRW Automotive to work with WSU on activities that benefit our employees and the local community," said Bagshaw. "We have already scheduled further activities with Assistant Professor Sternberg and his students for 2005 and hope to continue with this partnership into the future."
7s Graduate Induction Program Makes the Grade
Lessons are being learned by students and their teachers as
"Teachers are required to make hundreds of decisions on a daily basis," said Sherman. "Being coached and supported by veteran teachers, who we call clinical supervisors, helps first-year teachers make decisions that are in the best interest of students and their learning. Because of this intensive support, they are able to experience growth asa first-year teacher that would typically take three to five years."
This year, 16 graduate residents were selected through a competitive process to teach in Rochester Public School District 535. Sherman says nine of those positions were created by releasing veteran teachers fromtheir classrooms and seven classrooms were already open. Of the nine veteran teachers who were released, five of them became implementation associates who are responsible for designing, introducing and implementing new curriculum support for teachers across the district. The other four became clinical supervisors who each support four residents through weekly meetings, observation and feedback, and demonstration teaching. Sherman says each of the parties involved benefit in several different ways.
"The university is able to work very closely with one of the largest school districts in the state in the mentoring and professional development of new teachers," said Sherman. "It also keeps the university in touch with the current best practices of teaching. The school district benefits in many ways, but the most visible is the availability of five teachers to work on curriculum at no cost to the district. The graduates benefit because they become highly skilled in a short time period. Because they earn their master's degree through the program, they significantly boost their earning power for the rest of their careers. The K-6 students benefit because we are developing a high-performing teaching force for Rochester and the region."
Since 1986, 312 residents representing 44 different colleges and universities have received their master's degree through the WSU Graduate Induction Program. Dawn Schuster, a 1991 GIP graduate, started her teaching career in the Rochester Public School District after completing the program. She has worked as a second and 24 Fall 2005
third grade teacher at Sunset Terrace Elementary School for the past 12 years. However, her involvement in GIP has come full-circle. Schuster is in her second year of a twoyear term as a Clinical supervisor for the program. She says the program continues to help her learn and grow in her career.
"Being a clinical supervisor is the best professional development experience a person can get," said Schuster, "because as I'm teaching the graduate residents, I'm also learning."
"Teachers are required to make hundreds ofdecisions on a daily basis. Being coached and supported by veteran teachers... helpsfirst-year teachers make decisions that are in
learning."
Each one of the graduate residents who teach in the RochesterSchool District receive full tuition for their master's degree and an $11,000 stipend. These fees are supported by the salary and benefits package whichwould be paid to teachers if | the Rochester district had to hire professionals to teach the seven open classes which are filled byWSURC graduate residents. Lori Schoeppner, 2004 GIP graduate and the best interest ofstudents and their 5th grade teacher at Sherman Folwell Elementary School in the Rochester school district, said she uses the techniques and routines she learned in the program each day as she plans her lessons.
"I feel this program preparesa first-year teacher with an abundance of support, resources, ideas and professional growth opportunities," said Schoeppner. "The program definitely made my transition into a new grade level less stressful. Though we were still considered graduate students, I felt like a professional while practicing my chosen career."

Building Chapters, Staying Connected and Celebrating our Community
Greetings from Winona State University at the start of an exciting new academic year! Take a moment to think back to your days as a WSU student and the relationships established then... perhaps some of the most remarkable relationships of your life. Now imagine for a moment the opportunity to reconnect with those people and the University, while creating similar relationships with alumni in your area.
WSU Alumni Relations is working to provide a framework to help make those moments of reconnection really happen by establishing regional Alumni Chapters in Chicago, Rochester, the Twin Cities, and Winona. Also, the Association of Former Student Senate Presidents has been formed to help past student leaders find ways to maintain their relationship with WSU. Each Chapter will host two social events and one community service project per year. The idea is to connect and stay connected with other alumni and friends of the University and to have a good time. If you would like further information and are interested in helping to develop the regional Chapter in your area, call 1-800- DIAL-WSU ext. 5027.
During the past few months, I have been working with a number of outstanding alumni leaders to create a vision for each Chapter. Our goal is to build a network of alumni groups that establish their own annual events and develop traditions that are as fun and remarkable as the relationships they foster. In April, the Association of Former Student Senate Presidents came together in Winona to develop the scope and parameters for their group. Everyone that attended brought a unique
perspective to the mix and yet the loyalty and affection they held for Winona State bound them together. Along these very lines, the Winona Area Alumni Chapter held its inaugural event in conjunction with the City ofWinona’sSteamboat Days celebration in June. Nearly 200 people gathered at the festival tent and enjoyed food, fun, conversation and memories. In July The Twin Cities chapter withstood some of the hottest weather in recent memory as more than a hundred loyal alumni and friends gathered for the St. Paul Saints baseballand tailgating event. Both the Winona and Twin Cities events were so well received that they will be repeated annually. Plans are also underway for chapter events in Rochester and Chicago in the near future.
As a bit of an aside, the Winona celebration was followed two days later by the Steamboat Days parade. Our new president, Dr. Judith Ramaley, in a display of Purple Pride donneda “splendid” purple straw hat and took her place on the Winona State University float. Traveling the parade route, she handed out our signature purple Mardi gras beads and candy to what seemed like most of the Winona community. She agreed that this community and its celebration were a wonderful bit of Americana and that she was pleased to be a part of it. I can't wait for you to meet her at future Alumni events. She’s a people person who will put you instantly at ease. What an exciting time this is in the history ofWinona State University! We have the opportunity to build new traditions and develop programming that will provide the memories of this community’s future. We invite you to be a part of it!

ith its rounded arches, aspiring colonnades and prominent vaults, Lourdes Hall might seem Italian or Romanesque, yet with its clay tile roof and arched porch drawn back into the building, it also reveals a touch of Spanish, even Mediterranean architectural influence. Then there’s the grand dining center inside with chandeliers and balconies, which resembles the dining rooms of famous English universities. The building’s form seems to suggest something classic.

Whipple audio/visual equipment. There is alsoa fitness center, heated swimming pool, game room, sundeck and 360 dorm rooms with access to fully-equipped kitchen lounges. The building’s function is certainly contemporary.
It’s no wonder Lourdes Hall, and all its architectural uniqueness, is the centerpiece of Winona State University’s Residential College, which focuses its courses on diversity and interdisciplinary learning. Just as the building reflects a merging of diverse styles, a synthesis of the traditional and the technological, of the classic and the modern, of the old and the new, the WSU Residential College reflects an eclectic approach to learning in which students can blend both academic and residence life, local and global opportunities, while constructing a wholly new and exciting knowledge base.
Located on the west side ofWinona about one mile from WSU’s main campus, the Residential College officially started in 1991, after Winona
State acquired Lourdes Hall from the former College of St. Teresa. At that time only 50 students participated in the Residential College program. The success of this unique living-learning setting has rapidly increased so much that, today, more than 750 students are enrolled as residential learners, and WSU has integrated the surrounding Maria and Tau Center halls as part of its residential housing on the west campus.
Ron Elcombe, WSU’s Residential College director, said the distinctive opportunities available make this program an exciting learning place at WSU.
“Students integrate both academic and social activities, and it all happens in one learning center,” Elcombe said. “The students here take classes, meet and receive assistance from professors thathold office hours in the building, and attend special speaker presentations. Students are challenged to discover the love of learning, tolerance for individual difference, the advantages of a liberal education, and the enjoyment of a participative community.”
Elcombe explained that residential learning environments which bring students and faculty together, within and beyond the classroom, consistently benefit students in dynamic ways.
“We know that when students identify with a positive group, are challenged intellectually by something that interests them, and have contact with faculty and staff outside of the classroom, their chances of success in college greatly improve,” Elcombe said.
And he's right.
According to the College Student Journal, students who attend college in academic residential learning communities report overall greater satisfaction with their college experience, participate in more co-curricular activities, earn higher grade-point averages and more credits, and interact more comfortably with faculty than students not engaged ina residential college.
AugustWhipple, a WSU freshman and residential student, said enrolling at the Residential College is one of the best choices she’s ever made.
“Students get so much more attention here and the atmosphere is always relaxed and inviting,” said Whipple. “Since we live here and have classes here, it’s like professors are visiting our home; it’s like learning in our living room.”
Whipple also mentioned how living at Lourdes opened many opportunities she might have otherwise missed.
“I went to poetry readings that I normally would not have traveled to hear and was amazed at how much | enjoyed it. There were concerts, dinners, dances and seminars,” said Whipple. “For freshmen, the college transition can be difficult, but the opportunities, encouragement and atmosphere of the Residential College gave me theconfidence to explore new things and get involved at Winona State University.”
One intriguing aspect of the WSU Residential College that helps integrate student and faculty involvement is the exclusive Meridian Living and Learning Communities. A learning community is a group of students, faculty and staff who share an interest in a particular subject or issue, and students can choose from nearly fifteen different communities. All WSU Residential College learning communities are organized by four main themes: The GlobalVillage, Gender and Culture, Endings and Beginnings, and The
Mississippi River. Enrolled residential students who participate in the Meridian Living and Learning Communities take combinations of courses that focus on a specific theme and engage in co-curricular activities during the semester.
Whipple said the Living and Learning Communities have helped her make better connections not just with other students, but with the professors and the subject matter.
“The Living and Learning Communities are unique in that they are the perfect size to encourage diversity while maintaining a close and personal atmosphere,” said Whipple. “I was in the Endings and Beginnings learning community, so I met students with interests similar to mine. Plus, I hadthe same professor for speech and orientation, which was extremely helpful my first semester.”
Other co-curricular opportunities abound at theResidential College, and not just for residential students.
Lourdes Hall is home of the International Music Series, a program dedicated to bringing the sounds of the global village to Winona. One feature of the International Music Series is the Winona Gamelan Ensemble, an Indonesian percussion orchestra featuring members from WSU and the Winona community, who expertly play hanging gongs, kettle gongs and bronzekeyed metallophones among other instruments.
Another ever-popular event cosponsored by the WSU Residential
College is the John S. Lucas Great River Reading Series, featuring nationally known authors who come to WSU to discuss their work. Ranging from regional writers to Pulitzer-Prize winning authors, the Great River Reading Series has privileged the Winona community to listen to some of 2 the most creative minds in the country.
Elizabeth Oness, novelist andWSU English professor, described some of thebenefits of having these authors on campus.
“The writers usually visit a class, as well as give a reading, so students get a chance to meet writers and ask questions,” Oness said. “Community members often attend readings as well. Students begin to understand that their attendance at these readings is not just an assignment, but a cultural eventthat many community members are pleased : to have the chance to attend.”
For many programs around campus, - : the WSU Residential College serves as a a model for interdisciplinary studies, andoffers faculty and staff the fertile ground necessary to experiment with learning 2 styles and situations. Elcombe said the Residential College and its interdisciplinary distinction among programs at WSU is ideal for trying new educational strategies.
“This is a great place to experiment with interdisciplinary studies,” Elcombe said. “Faculty members are always encouraged to come out and teach. The : more co-curricular programs we offer, the more we benefit our students, and the more our students will be able to build their own education.”

WSU Students Learn in
By HeatherHoskins, WSUMass Communication Senior
I locked eyes with a young mother coddling a baby, sitting outside a small mud hut on the hot May afternoon as our African ecology class walked through Usa, Tanzania. As we stared at one another, we realized there was something that we shared; an understanding between one another. We had no idea what it was, who the other was, where we were from, how we came to the same area, but we had an indescribable connection. She calmly lipped to me, “Salama,” meaning “peace” in Swahili and I lipped the same back to her. The moment probably lasted about 45 seconds, but it’s momentI will never forget.
The African ecology class included 14 students of all different majors and two professors, Dr. John Nosek, assistant professor of biology, and Dr. Cathy Nosek, associate professor of nursing. We leftWinona State
University on May 19, 2005, for an unexpected lifechanging experience. We arrived in Tanzania after about 25 hours of traveling to Mount Meru Game Lodge in Arusha; adrenaline was at an all time high. This was my first time out of the country, and I had to stop to realize that I was actually in Africa halfway around the world from Winona.
On our second day in Tanzania, we met with a tour guide named Frankie who had lived in the area for more than 30 years. He was leading the tour of the game lodge grounds; little did we know we would be visiting our first village. We started out learning about the types of plants in the area then slowly made our way to Usa. None of us were prepared for what we were about to experience.
While in Usa, several children excitedly followed us and in choppy English told us it was a happy day because
we were visiting. The homes we saw in Usa were similar to other houses we would see on the trip. They were made out of mud, wood/sticks, scraps of metal and rocks. This was very shocking to me. I looked down into the polluted Usa River and witnessed many people washing themselves, doing their laundry and brushing their teeth.
After the visit, we sat down at a round tablediscussion lead by Dr. John Nosek, a.k.a. Doc, to find out our reactions to our first village experience. Many of us didn’t know how to take in that type of culture. We had no time to prepare ourselves, which, I believe, is what made it one of the most memorable experiences. We were thrown into a different culture; we had to accept it and take it all in at once. If we had time to prepare for the experience, it wouldn't have been the same.
Days later, with the help of our three guides, Godfrey, Shaba and Dennis, we loaded up the tan Predator Safari Club vans for a bumpy ride to lambi Hospital. The ride was between six and eight hours long, although I’m not quite sure since I lost count every time I hit my head on the window or the ceiling of the van as we made our own road to Jambi. When we arrived, we were greeted by David West, a supervisor at lambi, who was also from the United States.
We introduced ourselves to him and were shown to a dormitory where the women would be staying. The dorm wasa large, unfinished building that was separated into two sides; four old hospital beds on one side and five on the other. Each bed came with its own mosquito netting, which wasa life saver due to the falling cockroaches and spiders which looked as if they were on steroids! The men and the professors would stay in a house up the road.
We toured the hospital which consisted of a nursing school, operating rooms, a leper ward, OB GYN and many similar areas like we have in the United States. The rooms were not as well equipped or as up-to-date as the U.S., but they were clean.
One of the more shocking details of Iambi was the fact that they only have electricity two nights of the week, Wednesday and Sunday. Since we were visiting, they decided to use the two nights we were staying for the nights they had electricity. I thought that was an amazing gesture and sacrifice.
We washed up for dinner in the sinks, since the showers weren't working. We were all thankful for running water. We had dinner with Mary Ellen Kitundu, a former professor at WSU and medical director and president of the Iambi Project; Paula Loftstrom, LPN and secretary of the Iambi Project; and Dr. Dennis Loftstrom, Family Practice and vice president of the ambi Project. After dinner, Mary Ellen spoke to us about Iambi and how they have progressed, as well
Drs. John and Cathy Nosek, faculty members at Winona State University, led a group of 14 WSU students on a 21-day trip to Tanzania, Africa, this past summer. The trip was part of a class on African ecology and combined the opportunity to learn first-hand in Africa, as well as to bring gifts, supplies and help to the people of the area.
While in Africa, the class visited and studied villages, schools and national parks. In each school and village, members of the WSU group presented supplies consisting of pens, pencils, chalk, aspirin, toothbrushes, toothpaste and many other goods.
The class donated supplies and provided volunteer help at Jambi Hospital in Tanzania, and were met there by Mary Ellen Kitundu, a former WSU nursing faculty member. She is the hospital's medical director and is in charge of the related dispensaries in the region, a nursing school and the HIV/AIDS project. John Nosek, an assistant professor of biology, and Cathy Nosek, an associate professor of nursing, lead the class through several areas ofTanzania including Arusha, Usa, Ngorongoro National Park, the Serengeti, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Seronera and Lake Victoria as well as Mount Kilimanjaro.
The trip was very much in line with the thinking behind WSU's Winona Experience or new university planning which places a premium on experiential learning that combines hands-on, realworld experience with the opportunity for students to work on and help solve real problems to make the world a better place.
The Winona Experience aims to greatly expand opportunities like this in the Winona area, across Minnesota, throughout the U.S. and around the world.
"I would certainly consider another trip in the future, but I can’t say when exactly," John Nosek said. "In two or three years maybe? WhenI do, I will advertise it across campus in plenty of time.”
as giving us the history of the area. hen she was finished, Doc and Cathy Nosek thought it would be a good time to present the Loftstrom’s, David and Mary Ellen with the gifts and donations we had raised. We donated several bags of aspirin, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bandages and other medical supplies, as well as African ecology t-shirts for each of them, a skeleton for the nursing school, posters of human anatomy, money donations and many other items to help out the hospital.
It was a great moment for each of us to see how WSU truly is “a community of learners dedicated to improving our world.” The project we would be completing at lambi was to paint their community building. David explained to us that the building was visible from almost every angle in the village and to have their community building painted would make the people who lived there proud.
I woke up the next day, in my mosquito netting of course, by a rooster- a first-time experience I must sayand got ready to paint. Each of us seemed ready to do something to help improve lambi. When we arrived at the community building, there were other people from the village waiting to paint with us. It took a while to start, but when we did, we just kept going.
The next day, when we finished painting, I felt as if I hadn't done much, that I wanted to do more, as did many of my other classmates. I didn’t feel as if I worked my hardest. When we were all feeling a bit down about this, Paula Loftstrom said, “These people thought as if the world had forgotten about them. But because you came almost halfway around the world you have given them hope and pride. You've created hope througha paint brush.”
Those words stuck in my mind like nothing else. I thought the world was such an awful place; no one was helping anybody and there was so much hate and pain. After soaking up the words that Paula said,I felt as if hope was recreated on both sides of the paint brush.
When it came time to leave Iambi, I thought I would be ready to go. I felt a sense of guilt leaving. We shared an emotional goodbye with the staff members and sadly got into the vans. Each of us had made a connection with at least one person who lived at Iambi, which made it even harder to leave.
On our way out of the village, many of us noticed that a lot of people from the neighboringvillages were excitedly waving to us. It was almost as if the word had spread about why we were at Iambi; the guilt left me anda sense of pride filled that void. I know that will not be thelast time I see the white cross sign which says Jambi outside the old gates of the hospital.
Without Winona State University helping put together this African ecology class, I would not have been able to experience this life-changing trip. While writing this, I must have started over a dozen times and stopped to try and figure out how to put my experience and its affect on me into words.
There's a secret to Tanzania and you can only partly understand that secret ifyou visit. Matt Hayes, now a second year student, puta lot of that secret into perspective by saying, “You just have to take it for what it is.” We took it and will keep the way it is in our hearts forever.
At our last roundtable discussion in Arusha, each WSU participant said what we thought of the trip. Many people said, it was a trip they will never forget.
As I wrote this, I continued to wonder, “Who is better off?”The people who live in Tanzania in a mud hut with minimal electricity; taking nothing for granted? Or us; who live in the United States; in homes often too big for those who live in it; with anything we want; whenever we want it; with no time for anything? I may never know the answer. One thing I do know is that I will go back to Tanzania and I will remember this trip. I will never be the same person I was beforeI left.
WithoutWinona State University I don’t know who I would be or where, for that matter. This truly is a “community of learners dedicated to improving our world.”
The'community ofWinona is thought of by many people to be a region made up of beautiful hills. Many boast of the rough terrain which adds character and beauty to thesmall Minnesota city along the Mississippi River.
But what if this information is incorrect. What if the "hills" which make up the city ofWinona aren't really "hills" at all.
Guess what? Winona isn't a region of hills. According to Winona State University Professor Emeritus of Biology Cal Fremling, the years spent bragging about the beautiful hilly landscape ofWinona should be retracted. Why? That's one of the many topics explained in Fremling's book Immortal River: The UpperMississippi in Ancient and Modern Times, published in January 2005 by The University ofWisconsin Press. The cover of the paper edition is a vivid, wrap-around, low-altitude photo of the Mississippi and the waterfront at La Crosse, Wis.
"I think after reading this book, a trip to La Crosse will never be the same," said Fremling. "People will understand how the rocks got there and they'll realize this area isn't hilly at all. It's actually a plateau that's dissected by valleys."
In fact, traveling to the top of Garvin Heights, in Winona, isn't a trip to the top ofa hill; it's a trip out ofa valley. Garvin Heights is at the same elevation as the city of Rochester, Minn.
This type of discussion about the geology of the region interests Fremling and sparked his desire to write a book. However, his true passion lies in the ecology of the river, which began many decades ago when he was a young boy growing up in Brainerd, Minn.
"I've been involved with the river all of my life," said Fremling. "I began
hunting, fishing, trapping and snorkeling as a pre-teenager. I even created some ofmy own SCUBA gear. I've been diving with modern SCUBA equipment since 1956.
"Diving has taken me to far-flung lake and oceanic environments, but I'veconcluded that Australia's Great Barrier Reef is a piece of cake compared to the tailwaters of a navigation dam on the Mississippi, where a diver must contend with zero visibility, strong currents, intense boat traffic, and tangled fishing line festooned with lost fishing lures."
Although Fremling says he wasn't the best student in high school, his love of the outdoors sparked something in him that made him interested in the sciences. In 1951, Fremling received his bachelor of science degree in biology and physical science from St. Cloud State University. He taughthigh school for half of a year, but was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean War. the same time.
Science and Technology in 1959, Fremlingjoined the faculty at WSU, teaching and doing research for 32 years until his retirement in 1991.
Part of Fremling's research for his Ph. D. thesis concerned the ecology of large Hexagenia mayflies at Keokuk, Iowa. He continued his mayfly research at WSU; earning an international reputation for his use of the insects as indicators of water quality.
"Through my intensive mayfly studies," said Fremling, "I gained valuable insights into the ecology of big rivers."
Fremling's research resulted in his authoring or coauthoring more than 40 publications. His independent studies took him to Iceland, Alaska, Bermuda, Cozumel, the Netherlands, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand.

"Luckily," he said, "after basic training, I was assigned as a biologist to the University of Utah's Ecological Research Unit at Dugway Proving Ground at Tooele, Utah."
After his discharge, he returned to St. Cloud and received his master of science degree in science education in 1955. He taught biology subjects at Eveleth Junior College, in Minnesota, for a year and then returned to graduate school.
After completing his Ph.D. degree in zoology at Iowa State University of

At the peak of the Cold War, Fremling traveled across Siberia in the Soviet Union to study Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake. Fremling swam in the lake, but it was a brief experience. The lake's summer temperature never rises above 39 degrees Fahrenheit. One of Fremling's former colleagues, Carol Jefferson, WSU biologyprofessor, said Fremling was a very effective and well-liked professor because of his knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment to his profession.
"Cal was my mentor," said Jefferson. "In my opinion, he is the most distinguished faculty member WSU has ever had."
During his career at WSU, Fremling madea great impact on many of his students’ lives. Former student Frank Fox, '80, had several
Classés With, Fremling, including ecology and limnology. Fox said he remembers Fremling as being both passionate about the subjects he taught-anda very effective communicator.
"My fondest memories are the many trips to the Mississippi backwaters and Lake Winona where we enjoyed the hands-on experience of monitoring the dissolved oxygen levels or documenting temperature stratification," said Fox. "Such experiences revealed that Cal was actually a scientist who happened-— fortunately for all of us—to also be an extraordinary professor."
Fremling said his biggest sense of fulfillment while a professor at WSU was working with bright students who came into the biology program unmotivated and left the department as super students and went on to get their Ph.D. degrees.
"It's the old concept," said Fremling, "that a student isn't a vessel to fill. A student is a lamp to light."
Fremling said Winona State was a wonderful place to teach about the river and its valley.
"s "There aren't many universities z.where a professor could takea class of 120 students on a 50-minute field trip to a place like the Garvin Heights overlook," said Fremling. "I was blessed to be able to deliver almost 100 __. lectures about the geology and ecology of the river valley from that magnificent precipice."
About five years before he retired, Fremling realized he had gaineda lot of knowledge about the Mississippi River, and wanted to continue to share this knowledge long after his teaching career ended. So he decided to write a book.
id "I started writing whenever I had a chance," said Fremling, "and whenever
I could persuade the department secretary to do some typing for me because I was so poor at it."
However, with his heavy teaching load, Fremling didn't have the time necessary to write a book. He had to make a decision about his career and his future.
teachings laid the foundation of the environmental consciousness that guides him every time he steps into thewoods or launches hisboat.
"Dr. Fremling's book, Immortal River, has | special significance to me, since | lived next to the Mississippi River for the first 22 years of my life," said Selleseth.
"Reading Immortal Riverhas been like reminiscing with an old friend and a legendary river scientist at the same time."
Dr. Fremling signs copies I ought to take early of his book, Immortal River: The UpperMississippi UpperMississippi in in Ancient and Modern
"My wife, Arlayne, and I discussed that if I was ever going to complete my book, retirement and concentrate on it," said Fremling. Times
During retirement, he disciplined himself to work on the book for half days, five days a week. Then, on his days off, he got to play in the river he loved.
After 14 years,— and word processing the wholebook with just two fingers— the knowledge Fremling had stored in his head was available for everyone. Fremling feels deeply indebted to his colleagues who encouraged him and critically reviewed the chapters in his book, to his wife for keeping him on task, and to his students.
"T love teaching," said Fremling. "I didn't take early retirement because I was tired of teaching. On the contrary, writing the book allows me to keep teaching; not only to college students, but also to laypeople and other biologists."
Former student Dean Selleseth, ‘83, is a principal scientist in biochemical and analytical pharmacology for GlaxoSmithKline. He said Fremling's
Immortal River: The
Ancient and Modern Times is written for the educated layman, as an Upper Mississippi River primer, presenting the basic natural and human history of this magnificent waterway. The book melds information from thefields of geology, ecology, geography, anthropology and history into a readable, chronological story that spans some 500 million years of the earth's history. Fremling hopes people of all ages will benefit from his knowledge of the river captured in this book.
"What's made me happy is that parents are telling me their kids are reading my book," said Fremling. "That's what I hoped for; that young kids would read it and learn from it."
Immortal River: The Upper Mississippi in Ancient and Modern Times made the University of Wisconsin Press best seller list for spring 2005. The book can be ordered from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, University ofWisconsin Press, most bookstores and EUROSPANonline.
TripletsAre Getting Down toBusiness
Identical smiles. Identical triplets. Identical degrees. Amy, Jan and Laura Domeyer haveshared muchin their lives, and duringWinona State University’s spring 2005 Commencement Ceremony, the three sisters celebrated together as they graduated from WSU with degrees in business administration.
As children, the three sisters were identical in many ways... They got their first tooth in the same place. They got their first cavity in the same tooth. Theirmother had to pin their diapers with different colored pins to tell them apart. Even to this day their father occasionally mistakes them for one another. And since the sisters belonged to the same fraternity, shared many of the same classes, and worked at Fastenal Corporation in Winona, the girls agree that with so many similarities it’s easy for others to overlook what makes them unique.
“A lot of people who know us simply refer to us as ‘The »” Triplets, Laura said.
“I think it’s easy to forget we're individuals,” Amy added. “We even try to wear our hair differently so people can tell us apart.”
“It’s our personalities that are really different,” Jan said. “We're not as identical as everyone thinks.” Each girl made a particular point of highlighting her own individuality. Amy said she’s more “social.” Laura said she’s more “direct” and likes to “take initiative.” Jan said she’s probably more “laid back” than her sisters.
The girls each mentioned, however, there are advantages to being identical triplets while being college students. “We've had many of the same classes,” Amy said, “so if one us was sick, another could take notes and get assignments.”
“Sharing textbooks has beena big plus,” Jan said.
“Yeah. We've saved a lot of money sharing books,” Laura agreed.
“I suppose we could have posed as one another, but most of our teachers would probably have recognized us,” Amy said.
Judith Bovinet, WSU professor of business administration, said she’s taught each of the girls and remembers the sisters “were occasionally worried they were being confused with - each other.
“Sometimes I’d be talking to Amy and she'd look at me a little funny and say, ‘I’m Amy,’ as if worried I had forgotten. And Id say, ‘I know.’ It didn’t take long to see how unique they were. It was so much fun having them in class,” Bovinet said. “They're such wonderful girls.”
Even though the girls are all business administration majors, they're going in different directions with their
degrees. Jan said Amy and Laura both minoredin accounting and would like to build a career at Fastenal Corporation, but she preferred to minor in marketing and move away after school.
“I plan on moving to the Twin Cities and getting a job there,” Jan said.
“Even though our education background is similar, we each have different plans after graduation,” Laura said. “But only our close friends and family seem to see that.”
Amy mentioned that their father had a significant influence on their plans for the future, which helped lead them to Winona State.
“Our dad is in banking at Wells Fargo, and he suggested a business degree would help all of us in almost any job we wanted,” Amy said.
“We're also from Winona and Winona Stateis a good university,” Jan said. “So it was smart for all of us to getour business degrees here.”
The girls’ mother, Celia Domeyer, said her identical daughters are not the only ones in the Domeyer familywho graduated from Winona State.
“I received a degree in business administration from WSU, and my oldest daughter, Andrea, earned a paralegal degree,” Celia said. “So, five of our six family members have received diplomas from Winona State.”
Celia said she and her husband are proud of their daughters and can't believe they’ve grown up so fast.
“It’s just wonderful they've graduated from college,” Celia said. “We're so happy for them.”

The Lights Go Out in Pasteur
Pasteur Hall is getting a face-lift.After 43 years of service as Winona State University's main science facility, the building will be transformed into a modern space that will house faculty members from all four natural science departments: biology, chemistry, geoscience and physics.
Aside from faculty offices, the building will also contain six laboratories, four classrooms which will hold 30 students, and four large classrooms which will hold 72 people, along with space specifically designed for teaching majors. According to Nancy Jannik, dean of the College of Science and Engineering, the large classrooms will be available for use by all departments on campus.
In June 2005, Pasteur underwent an abatement process, which involved removing anything that wasn't going to be used, including lab equipment and interior walls. Jannik said WSU expects to hold classes in Pasteur in fall 2006.
"The renovation of Pasteur Hall will complete the total plan for teaching science at Winona State," said Jannik. "Students will be able to study science at its full potential."
Funding for the renovation of Pasteur Hall was approved by the Minnesota Legislature in May 2005 with the passage of the state bonding bill.
Construction on Pasteur Hall is the final phase ofa two-step process in creating a new science facility at WSU. The first phase was complete in the summer of 2004 when the Science Laboratory Center was opened. The Science Laboratory Center is made up entirely of science labs and one auditorium-style lecture hall.

Two Winona State University football players were signed by NFL teams this past summer. Wide Receiver Chris Samp and Quarterback Brian Wrobel, ended their college playing days at theend of the 04-05 season with the Warriors and attended training camps and played with their NFL teams during pre-season football games.
Chris Samp, a 6'3", 217-pound wide receiver for the Warriors, signed a deal with the Green Bay Packers in April following the NFL Draft and practiced with them for several weeks. After being released by the Packers, Samp was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. In this photo, Samp catches a pass during practicewith the Eagles. In late August, Samp was released by the Eagles and later signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He wears #19 and is on the Steelers’ Practice Squad roster.
With the Warriors, Samp set career records in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) with 39 touchdown receptions and 2,654 receiving yards. He also set a single-season record for completing 1,050 receiving yards, and he is the only NSIC receiver in history to have 1,000 yards in a single season.

Some say that anytime you have a subject there is always room for debate.
Well, that may be true most of the time, but it is not the case when it comes to talking about the 2004-2005 athletic season at Winona State University.
There is no question that the 20042005 season is the best, by far, in the history ofWarrior athletics. Yes, there were seasons when Warrior teams won national championships. Yes, there were years when more than one team won a conference championship. But there is no season like the one the Warriors had in 2004-2005.

(The tone of the season was set in the battle for Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championships. The Warriors competed for NSIC titles in 13 sports programs-— 4 men's and 9 women's. In the 2004-2005 season the Warrior men’s (football, golf and basketball) programs won three NSIC championships, while the women’s (cross country, soccer, indoor track, tennis, softball and outdoor track) programs captured six NSIC crowns to give WSU nine league championships out of 13 programs. Add the second place in the NSIC tournament by the
women’s golf team and the second place by the men’s tennis team and 11 of the 15 WSU varsity athletic programs fared no less than second place in conference competition. Never before has that happened in WSU athletic history.
Although success in conference play is the first step to a successful athletic season, the next step, play in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournaments and competitions, is the move that puts a program among the best in the nation. The Warriors took a major step to reaching that
status by placing seven teams (men’s and women’s cross country; men's football, golf, basketball, and tennis; and women's softball) in regional competition by either being selected by committees or qualifying into regional play.
OtherWarrior teams had successful NSIC seasons as witnessed by the soccer team winning both the regular season and tournament championships.
Overall, WSU team success was paramount, but in order for that to happen, individuals had to come to the
F LAFOCLL A
fore. During the season, more than one in four WSU athletes (76) received some type of all-conference honor and eight individuals combined for nine NSIC most valuable player or playerof-the-year honors.
On a national level, 22 Warriors earned some type of all-region or alldistrict honors, and eventually ten athletesreceived All-American status.
With all the individual accomplishments, Warrior coaches added to the awards with conference Coach of the Year honors going to Mark
Bambenek (Men’s Golf), Neal Mundahl (Women’s Cross Country), Ali Omar (Women's Soccer), Tom Sawyer (Football), Mason Rebarchek (Women’s Indoor Track and Field), Mike Leaf (Men’s Basketball), Sean Kangrga (Women’s Tennis) and Greg Jones (Softball).

remember the printed words in the books, but I will remember the wayI felt standing outside of that graveyard.”
Cindy Putzier, a nontraditional student whowanted to improve her writing and study skills but worried that the writing course might be too demanding, felt the program was surprisingly effective.
“To my surprise the writing has proven to be a challenge, but one that I seem to want very much to pursue. I felt likethis journey was one in which I gained far more knowledge than I thought possible,” Putzier said. “Part of our class assignment was to keep a journal while on this trip. One of my concerns was that I would not find enough to write about. It turned out in the end the problem was not thelack of ideas, but not having enough time to write them all down.”
Perhaps a good indication of the positive impact the Northern Great Plains Experience has on student learning was expressed by Bucky Flores, aWSU
The geographical and intellectualjourney across the northern Great Plains, offers a comprehensive introduction to the natural and cultural heritage ofthe region.
The Northern Great Plains logo is derived from a medicine wheel developed by the Lakota People at the beginning oftheir time. It represents the term “Mitakuye Oyasin” or ‘all things are related.”
The design outside the circle denotes that the medicine wheel is dynamic not static, it moves. It moves withother constellations and stars in the universe. The Lakotas like to refer to this movement with other constellations and stars as a dance.
Flores said that he’s gained a better understanding, not just of the cultures throughout the northern Great Plains, but of his own culture at home.
“I have a heightened awareness of what's going on around me: the weather, the actions of people, the understanding of diverse ideas on a common topic, and my own reflection on how to form my own ideas and arguments. I’ve gaineda lot of personal realization and self determination from this trip.”
Flores said the kind of learning he experienced during the twelve-day journey was intense and ongoing.
And it was unforgettable. “We literally had a twenty-four hour a day learning experience where everything we encountered, from waves of grass in the wind, trucks over-turned on the highway, anddiscussions with local experts, were the lesson plan. The trip portion of the course has ended, but the learning has not. I don’t know therapeutic recreation major.

Innauguration Date: April 7, 2006
As we embark on a new academic year, we are presented with new opportunities as well as new challenges. It is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that I share this progress report with you. The WSU Foundation andthe University continue to evolve at a rapid pace, and without a doubt, the pride and passion for the institution runs far deeper and greater than ever before. There is nothing more important than people and community working together to achieve a common goal, and Winona State University is certainly the benefactor of the commitment and talent of hundreds of individuals who care deeply for this institution.
The retirement of Dr. Darrell Krueger as 13th President of the University, comes with much sadness as he elects to move on to the next journey in his life. Under Dr. Krueger's leadership and with the support of our alumni, faculty, staff and friends, Foundation assets have grown to $25 million. In addition, he has helped to enrich the quality of education, continually striving for excellence and delivering a product to students that would be far superior to those offered by other educational institutions. President Krueger leaves a wonderful legacy exemplified by the beauty of the campus andthe continuing tradition of a quality education for students that leave this University prepared to meet even greater challenges in life. It is with sincere thanks and gratitude that we say goodbye to Dr. Krueger. He has touched all of our lives in a very positive and meaningful way, and the City ofWinona and Winona State University are extremely grateful for his friendship and leadership.
As Winona State University embarks on the further development and deployment of the Winona Experience, we are both pleased and excited to welcome incoming President Dr. Judith Ramaley. Bringing a wealth of experience, Dr. Ramaley faces the formidable challenge of launching the Winona Experience; however, her energy, charisma, and determination provide her with all the necessary qualities to carry both the University and the Foundation to an even higher level of success. With a great deal of pride and warmth in our hearts, we extend a very sincere welcome to Dr. Ramaley to the Winona State community and extend bestwishes to her for great success.
The Foundation Board has been hard at work over the past year, mappinga strategy to more closely align with the mission and vision of the University. At our Annual Foundation meeting held in late July, wewere pleased to welcome seven additional Trustees to the Foundation Board, individuals who bring great talent and energy from across the nation. We are thankful for their willingness to serve and to assist us in opening doors to enhance charitable giving as well as to make contacts with WSU alums scattered throughout the world.
Recognizing the increasing need for charitable giving, the WSU Foundation remains keenly focused on providing resources for students in the form of scholarships to pursue their dreams. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a donor and student recipient come together in pursuing an academic dream that will poise the student to meet endless possibilities in our ever changing world. The annual scholarship brunch held in October is a wonderful gathering of students, parents, and donors to share recognition and give thanks. The warmth and energy amongst this group is both gratifying and humbling. It should not go unsaid that without the support and generosity of the donors, this event would not be possible, nor would several hundred students be able to pursue their dream of a high quality education. It is with sincere thanks that we extend our warmest gratitude to those donors for their continued generosity and support in making these dreams come true.
As Chair of the Foundation, I have been able to and have enjoyed attending many WSU events, and visiting with alumni and friends. Again, it remains very obvious to me that newcomers to the campus, as well as long time friends, are truly impressed with the beauty of the campus and the quality of education that is being provided. For me, being part of these events and watching the University evolve has beena very heart warming experience.
In closing, I leave you with a message of warmest thanks and gratitude for all you do for Winona State University and for your continuing support and belief in thisfine old institution. The University remains poised to meet the challenges of tomorrow, and undoubtedly will continue to grow and prosper to even greater levels.

Scholarship Dollars Help Turn Dreams into Reality
As I begin myjunioryear, Iam now just realizing all the potential these next two years havefor me.
Receiving a scholarship has definitely helped mefinancially, but it has also given me a renewed inspiration and confidence to continuefollowing my dream.
My studies at WSU are very important to me; just this last semester I was officially accepted into the Education program. There is no way to explain exactly what this means to me. I can't wait to get into the classroom and actually teach the children on my own and watch them grow throughout the years. It is the greatestjoy I can imagine having.
I have always believed that in order to improve the world we must improve the lives ofone child at a time; teachingI believe, is my step towards doingjust that.
I have also been blessed with a great 7-year-old sister named Rachel. She came to me through the Big Sisters/Big Brothers program in Winona. We have already spent an entire year together. It has been such a wonderful experiencefor me to get thechance to watch her character and independence grow over the year and know that I have been a part ofhelping her.
I want to thank everyone who has donated to scholarships; you are truly helping to make my college experience, as well as the experiences ofmany other students, possible. You are helping me turn my dreams into reality, one day at a time. Thank you.

Striving for Success
Over my pastfouryears ofhigh school and myfirstyear ofcollege at Winona State University, I have realized that to achieve my goal ofsucceeding in engineering, beingprepared is paramount. In high school, I began to forge a strongfoundation on which to build myfuture in engineeringby taking as many ofthe more rigorous courses such as calculus, chemistry, physics and engine mechanics classes as I could. I knew that in the long run, the knowledge gained in these courses would become invaluable.
For my academic achievements, I was awarded scholarships to attend college here at Winona State University. These scholarships have been very important to me byfinancially helping to achieve my collegegoals. I have also been helping myselffinancially by employing my computer knowledge at the Technical Support Center here on campus. These scholarships have allowed me to focus more ofmy time on my studies ratherthan having to work many more hours and worry about insurmountable loans. These awards help tremendously to decrease those stressesfaced as a student. I see these scholarships not only as a rewardfor past efforts, but also as encouragement to continue strivingfor success and not settle for mediocrity as I continue my academic endeavors.
Iam very grateful to the WSU alumni and all ofthe donors who have contributed to the alumni scholarshipfund and the WSU Miller Brothers School ofEngineering scholarshipfund. These people have made it possible to lower my education costs, which is especially important as tuition continues to rise. Thank you to everyone who has helped support these scholarshipsfor myselfand other students here at Winona State University.

The Winona State UniversityWarrior Club would invite you to consider membership in the official “booster” organization for Warrior athletics. Your monetary qualifies you for membership, and puts you on the list of friends and fans in supporting the continued success of our Warrior student athletes.
contribution of any amount
The Warrior Club is an incorporated, not-for-profit organization that provides scholarship support for WSU athletics. The Club is managed bya volunteer Board of Directors, with active participation from University administration, coaches andthe athletic department staff. The Club’s mission is to promote and advance WSU’s intercollegiate athletic program.
Annual Warrior Club activities include the Warrior Club Golf Classic, held recently at CedarValley Golf Club. The 13th Annual Warrior Club Sports Auction was held on Saturday, October 1, 2005, at the Hiawatha Room of the St. Theresa College campus.
In recent years, the Club has been able to make annual commitments of more than $100,000 for athletic scholarships. While revenue generation has increased significantly over the last five years, Winona State University still falls far short of the maximum number of scholarships allowed for each sport by the Northern Sun Conference and the NCAA for Division II schools. The bottom line is that the quality coaches we have at Winona State University are doing more with less and are extremely efficient in their search for outstanding student athletes.
Most of the Club’s membership support comes with our annual Scholarship Drive each spring. However, you can join any time. Please consider making a pledge of support and join today or when contacted by one of our volunteers this spring. If you have any questions about the Warrior Club, you may contact the office of University Advancement (507) 457-5020 or the athletic department directly at (507) 457-5210.
Thank you for your consideration and support of this fine institution!
