Pedagogy Lab for physical education research Digging into the past to understand our place The first summer of digging into the past of the First Lutheran Church Cemetery in Minot is now in the books, with three more summers to go. The historical-archeological project is the brainchild of Mark Timbrook, technology support special- ist in MSU’s Office of Instructional Technology, adjunct faculty member and author. And while he is often too humble to admit it, Timbrook is truly dedicated to understanding the history of the cemetery and involving students and others in his passion for history and research. The cemetery is located just to the east of the Student Center and Administration Building, right next to North Broadway. It was first platted in 1892. Timbrook’s research project is tied directly to a new class at Minot State University — Special Topics in History: Historical Archeology, Graveyard page Preservation. 6 Among other objectives, the unique course is designed to map the cemetery grounds, document its history and grave markers, uncover submerged markers, locate unmarked graves, clean grave markers, research individuals interred, develop an interactive website of the compiled information, work closely with First Lutheran on a preservation plan and develop signage to add to caption the cemetery’s sense of place within the community.

For the second year in a row an undergraduate student from Minot State was chosen to present at a prestigious national conference. Zane Young, of Minot, was selected by the Council on Undergraduate Research for a presentation at the 2010 Post- ers on the Hill in Washington, D.C. During the event about 60 undergraduate students from the entire nation presented their research to the members of the United States Congress on Capitol Hill. The students and their faculty advisors spent the entire day in the US Capitol, first meeting with their state Representa- tives and Senators, and then presenting their research during the poster session. caption academics Helping all students succeed The new standards are: New admission standards, along with recent support programs

The university overcame the first hurdle in July when it was granted Candidacy Year Two status by the NCAA. The move from Year One to Year Two is a key step in the three-year process. The school made several strides in the area of compliance — hiring Melanie DeBoer-Brunsdon, assistant athletic director- compliance; producing a detailed budget; constructing a compliance handbook and a student-athlete handbook; meeting with officials at Minnesota State-Moorhead, an NCAA Division II school; and attending the NCAA national convention.

Conference officials met with MSU administrators, academic representatives, athletic staff, coaches, boosters and community members in consider- ation of Minot State’s application for admittance into the conference.

The sign features profiles of MSU buildings, school colors and natural landforms from the region. Large boulders, called glacial erratics, dominate the design. Ornamental grasses, wild- flowers and native shrubs complete the four-season landscape. Piehl visited several gravel pits to select just the right boulders, which were later donated to the school by Gravel Products of Minot. “I have a lot of experience in moving rocks,” the Marion native said. “In my youth, I did spend a lot of time picking rock out in the field.” Mattson Construction built the monument sign, and Quality Landscaping did the landscaping. caption Both are Minot firms.

With its third pledge class now in place, the Mu Sigma Tau fraternity is the first Greek organization on campus since the late 80s. As a result of a Mu Sigma Tau reunion at the 2009 MSU Home- coming, the MST Alumni Association began the process of reactivating the old organization. Finding interested pledges wasn’t difficult and by March 2010 the initial group of seven, with Chase Lee as president, was off and running. “It’s truly a special feeling to be part of the return of Greek life to Minot State’s campus, especially as part of Mu Sigma page Tau. We’re honored to be carrying on 14 such a rich tradition,” Lee said. The Mu Sigma Tau’s trace their roots back to 1926, with their Greek letters … And so is the Marching Band! representing the school’s name then — Minot State Teachers College. 26 years is a long time to wait in between performances. But that wasn’t about to Along with the Mu Sigma Tau, other stop a dedicated group at Minot State from reviving the MSU Marching Band. And fraternities and sororities are considering what a revival it was! a return to Minot State. 2009 saw the return of the MSU Marching Band to the streets of Minot and the field at Herb Parker Stadium. Joe Alme marched in the MSU marching band 40 years ago, now he teaches at the university as an assistant profes- sor. Alme led the charge to bring the marching band back. “We had a powerful marching band at that time. And it was exciting and we are trying to resurrect that feeling of enthusiasm and school spirit,” said Alme. Reviving the marching band was a lot of work. In the summer of 2009, Alme made phone calls to hundreds of college students and incoming fresh- men with band experience. Along with other dedicated professionals in the Division of Music, Alme has managed to recruit about 60 musicians so far, enough to kick off the program and get the proud spirit of marching at MSU back on track. scholarships page ATHLETIC Janis Dislevy Scholarship Endowment Margaret Brooks Scholarship Endowment 15 Aufforth/Marean/Coleman Athletic Scholarship Lee Badertscher Memorial Scholarship Endowment Naomi e.

Milestone donation starts the Severson Entrepreneurship Academy The Minot State University College of Business received a milestone gift in February 2010 from a 1973 alumnus whose decision to give back to the university and region will help Minot State produce stronger entrepreneurs. The $1 million donation comes from Clint Severson and his wife, Conni Ahart. Severson is chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of Abaxis, a medical devices company. The new Severson Entrepreneurship Academy is designed to provide unique opportunities. The program will teach multidisciplinary classes related to the process of building a business. Within the structure of a new club, students will help write, analyze and evaluate business plans, both those from students and from community members. The new entrepreneurship club will also give seed money to those student business plans that are exceptional. This will provide young entrepreneurs with an authentic experience to begin their own business ventures. ‘ When I look at all the many possible organizations that I would consider worthwhile investments, Minot State University rises to the top.’ — Clinton Severson
