UMM Mission Statement The mission ofUMM as an undergraduate, residential, liberal arts college is distinctive within the University of Minnesota. The Morris campus shares the University's statewide mission of teaching, research and outreach, yet it is a small college where students can shape their own education. The campus serves undergraduate students primarily from Minnesota and its neighboring states, and it is an educational resource and cultural center for citizens of West Central Minnesota. Through its instructional excellence, its commitment to research, its numerous extracurricular programs and services, and its strong sense of community, UMM endeavors to achieve its place among the best liberal arts colleges in the nation.

As many of you know, I announced to our campus community that after the current academic year, Nancy and I will begin to phase into the retirement period of our lives. Come graduation next May, I will be ending eleven years at UMM, eight of them in the chancellor's office. I calculate that I have seen over 25 percent of all our graduates cross the stage at commencement; two-thirds of the faculty now teaching at UMM have come here since I arrived. Both Nancy and I are in our mid-60s, and we are eager to move into retirement while we still have the mental alertness and physical vigor to enjoy it! Next year I will be on leave from the University of Minnesota and wi ll be serving as the Curruthers Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Honors College of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The following year, I'll return to the University of Minnesota as a teacher or in some temporary administrative capacity. We are looking forward to spending more time at our house in the mountains of western North Carolina and seeing a bit more of our kids and our beautiful new granddaughter. The past decade has been a fu 11 and a challenging one for UMM, for the University of Minnesota and for American higher education in general. UMM has moved forward during that period in a number of significant ways. Our first major capital campaign was successful beyond our projections and expectations, raising nearly $10 million. This is a tremendous investment in UMM's future and a gratifying vote of confidence for our co ll ege. I anticipate that the next decade will see a second capital campaign with even more ambitious goals and results. After years of discussion, our athletic program has found a new home back in NCAA Division III with institutions similar to us in mission, size and budget. Cougar athletics at the Division III level in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference has seen a tremendous boost in the victory column and, even more importantly, an equally upward movement in the morale of student athletes, coaches and fans. My goal was to help our intercoll egiate athletics department reach a point where every time a UMM student athlete entered a competition, she or he knew there was a chance to win. I think we are at that point. Our physical campus has evolved dramatically since 1995. The old gym has been replaced by the spectacular new science building, while the old science building has been splendidly renovated. The campus/community Regional Fitness Center has become a wellness magnet for both the college and the city. Work is moving forward on the renovation of the Social Science building and about to begin on the joint college/high school football field and the biomass heating-cooling plant. Working with the West Central Research and Outreach Center, we now draw over 50 percent of our electrical power from the wind turbine on the ridge over the Pomme de Terre River. UMM has been nationally recognized as a leader in alternative, environment-friendly energy. And, our campus has been declared a National Historic District at the same time; we have worked to bui ld a campus that combines the very best of the past and the future! We converted to the semester calendar; we added the May term; we received significant national recognition among public li beral arts colleges; we revived the First-Year Seminar; we have moved forward in service-learning and undergraduate research- we have certainly not been standing still. There have, of course, been disappointments along with these high points. I had the remarkable bad luck to serve as chancellor at UMM through a period during which the University of Minnesota suffered unprecedented fiscal strain and we have participated ful ly in that pain. Whi le we have avoided the most dramatic of cuts, we have also missed inviting opportunities and had to live together as an institution in an atmosphere of enforced and often uncomfortable frugality. There will certainly be challenges and labor ahead for my successor. In particular, I hope that she or he will see our recruitment of new students grow dramatically; our already-impressive program of international opportunities expand to include each and every UMM student; and the low salaries and high workload of all our employees, faculty and staff move to a point of greater equilibrium. Not surprisingly, I have been asked more than once in the past few weeks why I am retiring now. Like most major decisions one makes in life, there is no simple answer. The time seems right for me and for my family and for the college; UMM is in a position of strength to move forward into the Twenty-First Century; I am eager to do more teaching and writing. I told our campus community that only time will tell ifl was the right person at the right time for UMM, but that I know already that UMM was certainly the most right college for me, and I was incredibly lucky to land here. I have had the rare and wonderful honor to work with a splendid administrative team, to follow three exceptional predecessors, to know an outstanding faculty and a dedicated staff and, most of all, to encounter the best students any college in the world could attract. For all those gifts and many, many more, I am profoundly grateful.

They lobbied legislators, conducted letter writing campaigns, supported campus events and fundrais­ ers. Their list of public involvement is impressive, but it does not tell the whole story. Throughout the years, person-to-person, they have impressed upon the young and the not-so-young the value of education and encouraged them to go to college. "Ed said to every kid who went to their home 'You are too smart not to go to college,"' remembers Sandra Guter Larson '71. A childhood friend of Carol LaFave Gabler, Larson grew up hearing her friend's parents' persistent campaigning. "I probably would not have gone to college if Ed and Patty wouldn't have impressed upon us the value of an education," reflects Larson. "They were so affirming and so encouraging.

happening, Lasch shares a few interesting figures: "A two pound female peregrine falcon, diving at 200 miles per hour, strikes its prey at 293.3 ft./sec. or 586.6 ft ./lb./sec., the equivalent of being hit by an eight pound sledge hammer thrown at 49.9 mph. Now, who wants to go up and help band babies and aggravate Mama? Don't forget your hard hat! " The second excursion took Lasch to southern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa to band chicks for the Mississippi River Project which has the goal of developing a self-sustaining population of peregrines with no human interference along the banks of the Mississippi and its tributaries. "It was an amazing experience," shares Lasch. "I was able to experience banding wild, rock nesting peregrines with some of the most experienced falconers and handers in America, including Bob Anderson and Rob McIntyre. I could see the expression on their faces when we banded peregrines nesting in their natural habitat. I had the feeling that we were doing something right to correct a big wrong that we created. Banning DDT was key to saving the peregrine, but dedicated falconers and scientists actually made the tum around of the peregrine possible." "It is because of these men who take the time and effort to do captive breeding, release falcons into the wild at specific sites, observe nesting falcons and hang over tall buildings and high cliffs to band chicks that we are seeing a success story for a bird that was almost extinct," Lasch reflects.

(Weaver continued from page 13) After high school, Weaver moved to Morris to begin his UMM career. He had learned ofUMM's excellent liberal arts education and its ideal location from his father, Charlie Weaver, who was then serving as a state representative and had toured Minnesota campuses. "My dad couldn't wait to get home from UMM to tell me about the campus," remembers Weaver. "Dad said UMM would be the perfect match for me .. . a beautiful small college surrounded by lots of outdoor space." After Weaver was settled in the dormitory, he started look­ ing for a place to keep his hawk: "I found a perfect location right next to a huge lilac bush in Professor Dennis Templeman's backyard. I just walked up to his house, knocked on the door and said, 'Hey, Dr. Templeman, could I keep my hawk in your back­ yard?' He said yes and for four years I was able to keep my hawk just footsteps off of campus." Between classes, KUMM, tennis and playing guitar in Louie's Lower Level, Weaver learned the ancient art of falconry, spending many hours caring for his hawk, training and hunting in the wide open spaces of the prairie.

Teaching in and out of the classroom Weaver, a biology major, had planned to become a veterinarian but changed his mind after two ------internships, one on each coast, enlightened him to the amount of administrative work done by veterinarians.

Fall 2005 Profile page 16 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MORRIS Alumnus Greg Sperr responds to tragedy with music

Greg Sperr '91 has been singing his entire life. When faced with a family tragedy, music provided comfort, hope and a means to respond and take action. His brother-in-law, Odalis Roa Montilla, a police officer in the Dominican Republic, died in the line of duty last July. Because no pension or support is available to Odalis' widow and child, Ircania and Sheyla, Sperr has recorded a CD of his favorite songs as a fundraiser in their support. For years friends, family and fans have encouraged Sperr to record his music. During the difficult days after Odalis' death, their words became his Ircania and Sheyla inspiration. Sperr, a four-year member of the UMM Concert Choir, enlisted the help of his former director Ken Hodgson, professor of music, who assisted him with the CD recording.

Munsterman ' 81 and Practices for effective grantmaking and for its groundbreaking work on race, diversity and Joann Amundson Munsterman '72 inclusive practices in philanthropy. In the mid- l 990s, the Council recognized that increased Curtis A. Nelson '83 oversight by government and questions about public trust of foundations would require a Glenn L. Nelson commitment to higher standards and practices. In addition, changing demographics throughout the Kristopher C. Nelson '97 state would have far reaching impact in urban and rural Minnesota and in the field of philanthropy. Linda L. Rasmusson Nelson ' 99 A strategic plan was developed, "Imperatives for New Times," which undertook these initiatives. R.

Olson-Loy foundations are attentive to cultural change. They know that a particular approach might work with Paula L. O'Loughlin the majority population but it may not work in the cultural context of other groups of people." John D.

Ueh ling strengthening and celebrating the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender community, in which be also Christopher S. Wenner '99 supports a scholarship.

Hubers' gifts support campus life and campus community Paul and Renae Engebretson Huber are loyal, longtime alumni contributors to UMM Cougar athletics. Their gifts illustrate their commitment to UMM and their philosophy regarding the role athletics play on a college campus. "Athlet­ ics at UMM are a very important part of life at UMM," state the Hubers. "Athletics are essential to the community feeling on campus." Mark Fohl, UMM intercollegiate athletic director, values and appreciates the Hubers' support of Cougar athletics over the years. "Paul and Renae are both dedicated Cougar supporters," remarks Fohl. "Their gifts have benefited UMM programs for many years. We appreciate their financial gifts and their commitment to UMM and Cougar athletics." The Hubers, both business economics and economics graduates in 1987, participated fully in campus life while attending UMM. Paul played football and baseball for four years, and both Renae and Paul were active participants on several intramural teams. Renae also served as a student assistant for Spanish. "At UMM we learned many valuable skills which continue to be valuable today," share the Hubers. "While going Paul and Renae Engebretson Huber through the classroom motions, you sometimes don't realize their value until later in life." Paul and Renae own and operate two grocery stores make their home in Canby with children Kyle (13), Stephen (11) named after Paul's father-Jim's Market in Canby and Jim's and Jenna (6).
