Morningside College_37033.indd 1 6/15/18 8:25 AM Why I love Morningside I

I came to Morningside in the fall of 1966 from Fairmont, Minn. My mother said, “I think it is time somebody in this family got a college education.” My Morningside adventure started slowly at first, but every week it got better and better. I walked on to the basketball team. I was the only one who didn’t have a scholarship. I ended up playing and eventually starting. In my senior year, we were playing South Dakota State in the North Central Championship Holiday Tournament in Sioux Falls, S.D. I was introduced, and I looked around and saw 4,000 people. That was my special Morningside moment. After that night, I figured I could do anything. Sometime in your life you will have a special Morningside moment and realize you came from a very special place. I think as Morningsiders, we don’t believe we are in the same league as the elite schools, but I will tell you why this just isn’t true.

1. Morningsiders come from small towns, villages and farms with a very rural background. 2. Morningsiders probably played a sport in college. 3. Morningsiders might be the first in the family to graduate from college. 4. Morningsiders know how to work. They worked before college, during college and know they will have to work very hard for the rest of their lives. 5. Morningsiders are very humble. Their relatives are middle class Thomas J. Rosen or blue collar. There are not a lot of spoiled kids at this school. is president and chief executive 6. Morningsiders will have some debt after school. Not a lot of free officer of Rosen’s Diversified in rides here, but they will come away with an excellent education. Fairmont, Minn., an agricultural holding company involved in beef processing and hamburger Do you know what I just described? The kind of person every grinding, agricultural chemical employer wants in their company. You are special people with distribution, and trucking. The much to offer, so don’t sell yourself short. company has worldwide sales in excess of $3 billion. Rosen graduated from Morningside College in 1970. He is a member of Rosen gave these comments as part of a 2017 the Morningside College Board commencement address at Morningside. of Directors.
