Our annual donor edition of the Bridge offers me a special opportunity to express my deep, deep gratitude for those who have financially supported Finlandia’s educational mission during this past year. Many of your gifts support our operating needs through the Annual Fund. Finlandia’s Advancement office raises 15 percent of our operating costs, and the Annual Fund is always our number-one priority. I thank you for making it yours, as well. In the pages that follow you will again appreciate the distinctive learning experience that Finlandia offers its students, made possible, in large part, by your generosity and faithful giving. Thank you. Featured in this issue of the Bridge are the activities, programs, students, and faculty of Finlandia’s International School of Art & Design. I am convinced you will experience the energy and vitality of this part of our learning community. You will also hear about Finlandia’s PHILIP JOHNSON newest commitments to marketing: a soon-to-be-launched redesigned university website plus President new television spots. The message, and its package and delivery, is something we are constantly looking to improve. Campus News tells you about recent guests enjoyed by both the university and community residents. Such shared experiences are the norm, of course. There are many times, in fact, when I am not certain if an event is “community” or “university.” I’m not sure it matters. I think this is how it should be. If you read this issue closely, you will appreciate how embedded the “ ” community is in Finlandia’s life, and Finlandia’s life in the community. My conviction is that what we plan programmatically we need to execute strategically. Here is what we are doing about that. In Finlandia’s new mid-term strategic plan, campus and community have been closely linked in a proposal entitled: “Campus and Community: Together for Good.” The proposal outlines an enduring, innovative exchange between Finlandia and the local school district of Hancock. It is an exchange that draws on the strengths of each, promotes wise and needed community stewardship, and creates growth potential for both. It is my hope that this proposal will gain additional support and be further enhanced through imaginative discussions with Finlandia’s closest neighbors. I will keep you posted. Enjoy your reading. And, again, thank you for walking alongside us.

Philip Johnson, Ph.D. President

2 Finlandia University “The amount of information included in the new website is staggering,” Soper says. “The biggest challenge was coming up with an efficient, user-friendly navigation scheme to make it easy for current and potential students to find the information they need.” Lastly, Soper created the web page templates and incorporated them into a web-based content management system, which will allow individual university departments to manage their own content. “We’ve also added dynamic news feeds for each school/college, dynamic photo galleries, and easy-to-create blogs,” Soper says. “An all-inclusive search feature and the ability to embed video on certain pages add additional levels of interaction between Finlandia and those who visit the website.” Of course, a lot of behind-the-scenes work is done that website “surfers” are not always aware of. “Code. Lots of code,” explains Soper, referring to the thousands of lines of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) used to structure text, manage multimedia documents, and set up hypertext links between documents.

Denise Vandeville An exhibit by ceramicist Denise Vandeville, interim dean of the International School of Art & Design, was featured at the Bay College Art Gallery, Escanaba, in October. For the exhibit, “DaVinci Stain: An Experience in Fractal Geometry,” Vandeville constructed environments that allowed nature to create fractal components, then she separated and recombined them to create something completely different, yet somehow familiar. Vandeville explains that fractals, discovered in 1972, are mathematically definable codes which provide insight into how nature works. She says the shapes and tones of fractals have been scientifically proven to calm the mind while keeping the brain busy. Vandeville recently sold two of her large-scale sculptures to Bay College for permanent display in the lobby of a new performance arts center. She taught at Bay The DaVinci Stain College from 2001 to 2005.

The hanging incorporates the wool of merino and coridale breeds and metallic silk organza. “The maze of the once thriving Quincy Mine is always underneath me. I seldom think about it, yet the complex structure of shafts and adits reaches deep under my home in Hancock,” writes Fredendall of the piece. Fredendall’s great grandfather, Richard Rowe, immigrated to North America in the early 1900s and eventually moved to Champion, Michigan, where he worked in the mine there. “Years ago, on my first visit to the Quincy Hoist, I was deeply moved by the old maps of the mineshafts,” Fredendall explains. “Their extraordinary beauty of form stayed with me and in 2003 I made my first ‘Ascension Map.’” “My ancestors’ stories gave me the inspiration and courage to make this piece,” says Fredendall of “Miner’s Ascent.” “I imagine emerging from a deep mine shaft on a golden summer evening, reborn in the ascent.” Miner’s Ascent

Carrie Flaspohler Carrie Flaspohler is director of the Finlandia University Gallery, an artist, and an adjunct instructor. As gallery director she sees herself as a catalyst for enriching the community with local, regional, and international art. As a painter, Flaspohler says her work draws from the insights she has gained from traveling and studying the art and architecture of Europe and Asia. “Essentially, my work is about hope and rising above adversity,” Flaspohler explains. “Across circumstance and culture, language and history, my travels have taught me about the qualities that unite humanity. Using nature as a metaphor, I strive to communicate the beautiful, fragile, and ultimately resilient nature of the human experience.” Flaspohler completed a masters of fine arts in painting at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The RJ Lures crankbaits are made from basswood. Wiitanen reports that his basswood Esox model minnows have been excellent for big pike and musky, while the R4, Hunter, and Trigger Blade baits are outstanding for walleye. “The lures all relate to what bigger fish eat,” he explains. “The M3, M4, and Esox minnow baits are in the basic shape of a minnow. The R series is designed in more of a shad shape.” Wiitanen says he always tests the colors of the lures before he starts selling them. He confesses that the real enjoyment of his job is the opportunity to field test his new patterns.
