President’s Report

July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2009 Minot State University embarked on a bold initiative as it announced in November 2008 Grow North theDakota new Grow North Dakota tuition plan which offers one flat tuition rate to all students. This initiative has made it affordable for any student in the world to receive a top-notch education from one of the premiere universities in the Great Plains. Whether students are from Texas, Minnesota, China, Washington, Colorado, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Norway or Alberta, they will pay the North Dakota in-state tuition rate when they enroll in on-campus courses. This is an exceptional value for students earning their undergrad- uate and/or graduate degrees from Minot State University. The objective of the plan is to bring more individuals to the state in hopes that they will make North Dakota their home. Current North Dakota University System data indicate that non-resident students are staying in the state after graduation, thus growing its population and workforce. Extensive recruiting and marketing efforts have been focused in the state of Washington and the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. e are pleased to share with you our annual president’s report with its highlights from this very busy and productive year at Minot State University. Letter from the President WStories about our student achievements, new degrees, study- abroad activities, grants and research, and services to our com- munity offer an excellent overview of the diversity and richness of the educational experience students find at our university. Higher education is changing every day in what we know about the world, in how we offer classes through enhanced technology, and in the many ways we adapt and respond to the changing needs of our society. This report includes stories showing how we at Minot State are responding to these new expectations of students and new societal demands. We take very seriously our responsibility to contribute to our economy and our culture, and we are doing well in that regard. Our efforts continue to focus on improving our services and raising the bar to new heights—all with the purpose of providing a second-to-none educational experience for our students and service to our region and the common good. Our outstanding faculty and staff are staying at the forefront of these changes, providing the best education and expecting the highest perfor- mances from our students. That’s our No. 1 job. accomplish many of these goals and to give our students At the same time as we pursue new directions, we are also financial support to reach their personal goals.

2 Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Graduates must pass a national certifi- cation exam to practice in the field. Energy economics and finance

Tantalizing developments in North Dakota’s oil patch have not been lost on MSU’s College of Business. The college just launched a new bachelor’s degree in energy economics and finance to prepare students to work in the state’s burgeoning energy industry. The degree, which combines financial analysis with energy-related content, is the only one of its kind in the Great Plains region. Graduates will be qualified as financial or project analysts, energy economists, energy loan specialists or corporate planners. “There’s a strong demand for both renewable and nonrenewable energy employees,” said Frank Moseley, the program’s director. “These energy jobs are well-paying jobs.” Energy companies are currently drilling in the Bakken Formation, which occupies 200,000 square miles in the Williston Basin and covers parts of North Dakota, Montana and Saskatchewan. Last year, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that the Bakken could yield 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels of oil.

“ ” Stepping up for a community in need Spring flooding greeted many North Dakotans in 2009. Minot and its surrounding communities were no exception. But in times of great need, people step up to perform great deeds of service.Engagement Minot State employees and students dedicated hundreds of hours to sandbagging and flood prevention. On multiple occasions, the call went out for volunteers, and the response was immediate. One such story of service, titled “Deluge of human kindness,” reached a national magazine, with the focus on assisting one of MSU’s own, Cheryl Gerard, professor of communication disorders. In early April, Ward County officials offered sandbags to residents whose houses were in danger from a Souris River crest. But there was one caveat — residents had to pick up the 5-pound bags and put them in place themselves. That’s where Gerard was stuck. With limited equipment and the realization that she must do something to save her house and barn, she e-mailed her department colleagues, “All help is appreciated.” What happened next redefined Gerard’s definition of commu- nity spirit. Not only did her colleagues come to her aid, but one of them also forwarded her message to the undergraduate and graduate students in the department. On April 8, Gerard was shocked when more than 50 students arrived at her house with trucks, muscles and the willingness to help. They even returned the following night – and brought their friends. “I was stunned,” Gerard said. “I tried doing it myself on Monday. On Tuesday, some of my yoga friends came over, but Wednesday. Wow! All these students showed up, and I didn’t even know all of them! They just were there to help.” And the help paid off. Altogether, the volunteer crew put up 10,000 sandbags and, as the Souris crested on April 14 and Gerard’s yard and now-evacuated barn began to fill with water, the sandbags held. Today, Gerard’s life has pretty much gone back to normal, but she is still awed by the selfless help provided by her students and colleagues. “I have never felt more loved or more blessed. I know it sounds hokey, but I couldn’t believe people I didn’t know were helping me,” Gerard said. “This is my wake-up call — you always help other people. (North Dakota) maybe doesn’t have mountains, but it has monumental people.”

4 Student honored for chemistry research Steven Lewis is a chemistry major at Minot State University. Since the fall semester of 2007, he has Researchbeen working on a research project in the lab of Dr. Mikhail Bobylev, an associate professor of chemistry and an INBRE-funded researcher at Minot State. Lewis’ research is producing highly valuable results. Lewis first presented his results last fall at the fourth-annual northwest regional meeting at Minnesota State University-Moorhead. Lewis’ poster, titled “Application of the Accelerated Leuckart Reaction to Substituted Benzaldehydes,” won first place. He also received a travel award from the Red River Valley Section of the American Chemical Society to present his work at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C., in August. Lewis was also selected for the 2009 Posters on the Hill presentation in Washington, D.C., in May. About 60 undergraduate students were selected from across the country to present their research to members of Congress. The students and their faculty advisers spent a day at the Capitol, first meeting with their state representatives and senators and then presenting their research during a poster session. Lewis presented his work at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C., in August. Besides his travel award for the best poster presentation, Lewis’ trip to the national meeting was supported by another travel award from the American Chemical Society, which he received as vice president of the MSU student chapter of the American Chemical Society. His trip to the meet- ing was also supported by grants from local businesses, specifically Industrial Builders Inc. and the Archer Daniels Midland Biodiesel Company. 5 Minot State University President David Fuller and the university’s Vision 2013 were highlighted in the October 2008 issue of American Executive magazine. The article, titledNational “Agent of Change,”exposure helps readers understand the rationale behind Vision 2013 and why Fuller values its potential to invigorate the campus and community. “A key component to the success of these strategies . . . is the willingness of the faculty, staff and students to do their part to transform MSU into a place that not only produces university graduates but also agents of change,” wrote Amanda Gaines, the article’s author. Along with this magazine piece, the new Grow North Dakota initiative received positive mention in an Associated Press article that ran in USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Kansas Star and other Midwest newspapers. To top it off, MSU was chosen to air a five-minute story on how the university is meeting the needs of the region. Titled “The Economic Report with Greg Gumbel,” this video aired on cable tv in major cities across the country, including Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago and Seattle. In addition, it aired all across Arizona and Utah. As a result, Minot State is able to share its message with a broader audience and allow students and families from the Great Plains and the rest of the country to know what makes MSU a premier, regional university.

9 Teleaudiology contract The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD) was awarded an exclusive two-year $196,179 contract with the Department of Health and Human Services, Grants Health Resource Services Administrationin September 2008. This contract has put NDCPD and MSU in a unique position to establish standards that will be utilized by professionals nationwide. NDCPD will develop protocols using the Internet to diagnose hearing loss in infants. Pediatric audiologists control the evaluation equipment, using computer technology from a distant location. This allows parents to remain closer to home. National goals are to have all infants’ hearing screened by one month, hearing loss diagnosed by three months and inter- vention in place by six months.

Minot Infant Development Program: 30 years of service to children and families A 30th-anniversary celebration was held in September 2008 for the Minot Infant Development Program (MIDP). MIDP is funded by the North Dakota Department of Human Services to support activities that identify infants (birth-3 years) who are developmentally delayed, high risk or at risk. MIDP staff members assist parents and caregivers in identifying natural learning opportunities that occur throughout their child’s daily routines and guide them in using these opportunities to enhance the child’s development. In addition, MIDP personnel help parents in finding support available through local, state and national programs to help their child’s developmental issues. Specialists in the areas of cognitive development, speech and language, audiology, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, nutrition and social-emotional work one on one with the children and their parents. Nearly all the training is done in the child’s natural environment. Through early intervention, a child can be taught specific techniques for learning in the first years before bad habits develop. In some cases, the intervention may alleviate many problems that may have occurred if the child had not been enrolled. Over 30 years, the MIDP has served more than 1,100 children and their families and has provided evalua- tion services to hundreds of others living in a seven-county area of north central North Dakota.

1311 Dr. Gordon B. Olson President Emeritus 1967 – 1992

Dr. Gordon B. Olson died in late June at the age of 84. For 25 years, he cast a towering shadow over Minot State University as it confidently grew in enrollment, programs and facilities.

Like most people, Olson was a tangle of contradictions and inconsistencies.

He was a rough-cut giant who was at home hunting in the wilds of his native North Dakota, yet he also maintained a rich life of the mind, nourishing it through the quiet pleasure of reading.

He was a savvy administrator adept at working the levers of political power, yet he also had a common touch with people of all social and political stripes.

Three former colleagues recently shared their memories and impressions of Olson, trying to separate the man from the myth.

Garnet Cox worked with Olson for 25 years as the university’s dean of women. Gary Leslie was an instructor, coach and administrator at Minot State for 36 years. Joe Wax served at the school for 30 years, mostly as director of the innovative Campus Lab School.

He knew their family, their grand- lower salary than the dean of men, he rectified the situation.) parents, who homesteaded where.” “That didn’t happen with a lot of administrators. He had a kind, caring heart for people.” Leslie: “There were very few people that he’d meet and he didn’t know their names.

The student said, ‘No, I don’t.’ Gordon responded, ‘You’d better not have!’ The student turned and left. Management style That was the only time I saw him with fire in his eyes.” Leslie: “He ran (the university) like a school principal. Some Leslie: “He was straightforward with you. He had a temper.” people thought he was micromanaging.” “Olson once said, ‘Where I grew up, if you mouthed off, someone would smack you. It made you more cautious about (On one occasion, a faculty member who lived out of town failed what you said before you said it.’” to make it to campus during a blizzard. In a blistering memo to the faculty, Olson stressed that this would not be tolerated. At the time, Olson and much of the student body lived on Inquisitiveness campus, and underground tunnels connected classroom buildings.) Cox: “He would get all kinds of mail. He would pass that on to “Olson moved off campus. The next year we got a blizzard, and us.

He had several Wax: “He told me that a couple of people came in and suggested periodicals that he subscribed to. You could hardly go with him that he fire me.

Grow North Dakota is a vision of Minot State University — more students and more workers for North Dakota.
