Welcome to Dickinson State University MESSAGE from the PRESIDENT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to Dickinson State University It is a sincere pleasure to share the content of this publication with you. As we reflect upon this past academic year, we have many outstanding accomplishments to report. All of the efforts are hallmarked by a spirit of collaboration and an enduring commitment to deliver programs that are timely, relevant and responsive to the educational needs of this region. As we move forward, we will embrace the guideposts within the North Dakota University System’s long-range strategic plan. DSU is committed to providing accessible and affordable programs that advance the overall vitality of the state. This past year, I frequently delivered public remarks regarding our enduring dedication to teaching, learning, scholarship and student success. Our commitment to academic success remains foremost. This fiscal year, using a modest amount of institutional resources, we allocated funds to advance three major academic initiatives. The first effort seeks to implement a continuous quality improvement (CQI) plan within our departments. Our curriculums need to evolve in order to maintain relevance. The second initiative, inspired by a 2008 American Council on Education Report, seeks to advance our global awareness initiative and commitment to infuse our formal curriculums and campus life with multicultural discussions and international perspectives. Increasingly, we live and work in a world where social, political, economic and educational relationships are globally focused, interconnected and mutually supporting. The third pool of funds was allocated to enhance our ability to foster innovative teaching, learning, scholarship and academic program excellence. In a world with an ever-changing environment, the content of knowledge and context for application are altered frequently by new discoveries and multiple trends. In summary, with one eye upon the future and a Centennial celebration over the horizon, DSU seeks to enhance its ability to be a learning-focused institution that intentionally serves the social, cultural and economic well-being of this region. Our vision to become a premier university in the Upper Great Plains implies a sustained commitment to improvement as we dedicate our energy to the educational process. This dedication to academic excellence within the teaching-learning transaction is a hallmark of our past, the cornerstone of our present and a pillar for our future success. As I close this essay, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your continued support and assistance. I hope you enjoy this brief glimpse of the many successes Dickinson State University has enjoyed this past year. Richard J.
