HANSON PresidenT’s Message Welcome to BSU’s biannual magazine – outstanding as ever, and now with a new name, Bemidji State University. The former name, Horizons, had been in place for many years, but it was time this important publication had a clearer connection to the institution. Once you’re done reading about the people and progress that make us all so proud, I hope you will give your copy an honored place on your coffee table at home or at work. As our 2013 Commencement ceremony approaches, how fitting that the cover story for this spring/summer edition features Moses Tsang. We are thrilled he will be in Bemidji to receive an honorary doctorate in recognition of his accomplishments through both career and service. I am also pleased to announce that another outstand- ing alum, Marine Corps Lieutenant General Thomas D. Waldhauser, will be honored as our Distinguished Minnesotan and deliver the keynote address. These pages are filled with evidence of the enormous difference Bemidji State makes every day, especially through our wonderful students and graduates, who achieve, lead and serve in so many ways. You will read about the rapid expansion of our international studies programs under the leadership of Provost Dr. Martin Tadlock, meet several more of our “Students to Watch,” catch up on university news and learn more about the lives of such impressive alums as Bill Colter, Rita Albrecht and Peggy and Sam Johnson.
