  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Minnesota
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Minnesota 1 Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) provide exceptional experiences for students through experiential and applied learning when integrated into the classroom. Students gain knowledge, technical and employability skills that today’s employers demand. Leadership opportunities provided through CTSOs build their confidence, personal networks and future entrepreneurship. CTSOs add to our students’ education and success in Minnesota’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. CTE provides our greatest collective opportunity to create a skilled, knowledgeable, and productive future workforce. Integrating CTSOs into those programs not only strengthens technical skills through workplace activities and competitive events; it empowers students through leadership activities. CTSOs have served students for over 70 years. Minnesota is proud to be a part of that tradition. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, the Minnesota Department of Education and Minnesota Foundation for Student Organizations support: DECA and Collegiate DECA, Business Professionals of America (BPA) High School and BPA College, Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Agricultural Education FFA and Post Secondary Agricultural Education (PAS), Health Occupations Student Association (HOSA) and SkillsUSA High School and SkillsUSA College. As our graduates enter the workforce, we must ensure they have had the opportunity to develop and refine the skills in their occupational area. We must ensure they are professional and they are prepared. Career and Technical Student Organizations will ensure they are equipped to meet the demands of America’s workforce. JoAnn Simser, Ph.D. State Director Career Technical Education Minnesota State Colleges and Universities 2 Minnesota Fact Sheet CTE STATE OVERVIEW At the secondary level, career and technical education is delivered through comprehensive high schools, cooperatives and centers.

  • The Sheriffs of Carver County
    The Sheriffs of Carver County The First 150 Years: 1855-2005 The Sheriffs of Carver County The First 150 Years: 1855-2005 John von Walter Published in 2005 under the auspices of the Carver County Sesquicentennial Committee, with support and funds granted by the Carver County Board Notes and Acknowledgements In mid November 2004 Carver County Sheriff Bud Olson and his Administrative Assistant Pam Raser paid me a visit, knowing that I had been researching the history of the old Town of Carver and Levi Griffin, the first Sheriff of Carver County. They pressed me into joining the Carver County Sesquicentennial Committee, and in particular to research and write the biographies of all the Carver County Sheriffs over the last century and a half. As a history lover the idea intrigued me, for several years earlier I had tried to find a roster of all the Sheriffs of Carver County, and was unable to do so. I took custody of some files the Sheriff’s Office had acquired and compiled over the years, and was soon hooked on the subject, gathering piles and piles of additional materials to assemble into biographies on all of the sheriffs over the last century and a half. The project soon developed into this book, The Sheriffs of Carver County, The first 150 years: 1855-2005, with plans afoot to publish the book’s individual sheriff biographies in each of Carver County’s five newspapers throughout the Sesquicentennial year 2005 as part of the ongoing celebrations of Carver County history. The biographical material for the book was compiled from many sources: U.
