With the unprec- edented success of the football team and its star tailback Danny Woodhead, CSC has undoubtedly received more mention from the national news media than ever before. Eagle fans have greatly enjoyed far-reaching coverage from the likes of ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CSTV and countless other media outlets as the team has worked through its second consecutive undefeated regular season and the many post-season accolades that follow. The team’s success is a great source of pride for the CSC community. Connie Rasmussen, Director of the Chadron State Foundation with Another story briefly caught the attention of the national media outgoing board members, Rick Kolkman, North Platte, Tom Willnerd, this fall. You probably heard that the normal happenings of our Rock Springs, Wyo., Dennis King, Gordon, Lee Wahlstrom, Chadron, campus, like the rest of the region, were disrupted in October Marty Connealy, Chadron and CSC President Janie Park. when five armed robbery suspects from out of state were on the loose in our community. At the suggestion of law enforcement Janie Park officers, other CSC administrators and I took an unprecedented measure by locking down the campus during the search for the in- dividuals. We’re pleased with our decision, as our students and employees survived the incident with little more than their own tales of the frightening experience. The positive outcome can be attributed to the great response of not only law enforcement, but the actions of the many CSC employees and students who were so greatly inconvenienced during the search. While stories about sports and crime may take up a majority of the press, there are hundreds of other “good news” stories each day at CSC that likely do not make the 6 o’clock broadcast where you live. In relatively quiet fashion, our faculty and students go about their days diligently honing their skills and knowledge in scores of educational disciplines. As proof, CSC continues to produce leaders in a wide variety of occupations, namely teachers, business leaders, law enforcement officers or hundreds of other occupations. That is news worth mentioning. The pages of this publication show a portion of the good things happening at CSC.
