even years ago, God re-directed SBrian Stogner’s (‘80) path. Content in his job at the time, Stogner had not contemplated any professional moves. He was settled and he says he was happy. Then, a conversation with his wife, Lisa, sparked an idea. As he recounts the story, a smile spreads across his face. “One night my wife asked me if I would ever change jobs. Just out of the blue like that. I told her that the only way I would change is if a full-time faculty position at a Christian school opened that allowed me to also practice neuropsychology. A couple days later, I got a call from [then president] Ken Johnson offering me a position at Rochester College. Next, Genesis Regional Medical Center said they were looking for someone to practice neuropsychology. It was pretty clear what I was supposed to do.” Stogner says he made the move for spiritual reasons rather than professional. Yet, he believes this decision furthered him professionally as well. Since coming to the College in 1998, Stogner has served as a professor of psychology and chair of the behavioral sciences department. Simultaneously, he held a private practice in psychotherapy and the neuropsychology practice at Genesis Regional Medical Center. Additionally, he helped construct the College’s current academic vision, +JN8PPE4FNJOBS which is the cornerstone for the strategic plan. Recently, his path curved once more. Stogner accepted the role of vice president of academic affairs, the position Dr. %=7<59@/9GH9FU9@8<9@869:CF9697CA=B;H<9=BGH=HIH=CBTG 4NBMM$IVSDI president.

unded by a Title III grant from the Federal Government, the Academic FCenter for Excellence (ACE) began free tutoring services in fall 2003, targeting student retention. Rochester College’s goal was to bring its retention rate to national level and beyond. Evidence proves ACE does the job. Studies show that failure in core subjects discourages students from completing college. Because of this, ACE focuses heavily on math and writing classes. “Students quit for many reasons, but we want to make sure students do not leave Rochester College because they are struggling academically without help,” says Tedd Case, director of Title III. this, ACE expanded to include a program “Students learn quickly that ACE called Supplemental Instruction (SI) in staff will not do their work [for them]; several subjects. SI uses peer mentors they must actively engage in their own that attend classes and hold small group education.
