BSC 84th Commecement Program

MAY 10, 2024 | 2:00 PM | BISMARCK EVENT CENTER

Created in 1939 in response to a community need for a local college, BSC was originally known as Bismarck Junior College (BJC). The first students started classes on Sept. 4, 1939, on the third floor of Bismarck High School with 107 full- and part-time students and 12 instructors. By the late 1940s, a new location became increasingly urgent as college enrollments soared with GIs returning from the war.

In 1951, the North Dakota Legislature responded to an appeal from community leaders to grant the college 15 acres on the Capitol grounds for a campus site. BJC moved into its own building at 900 Boulevard Avenue in 1955.

Within a few years, the college had outgrown the Capitol site, and in 1959, Harold Schafer, a local entrepreneur and founder of the successful Gold Seal Company, offered the college land overlooking the Missouri River at the northwest edge of Bismarck. Classes began on the new campus in the fall of 1961 in a single building, Schafer Hall.

How it a started.

That windy hill has been transformed over the years with the addition of dozens of buildings and residential halls, countless landscape improvements, the MDU Resources Community Bowl, parking lots, sidewalks, walking paths, and more. The most recent addition, the BSC Health Sciences building, brought a state-of-the-art virtual hospital to campus to train students for healthcare careers.

BSC has two satellite campus locations across the river in Mandan. One campus is a training facility for the Mechanical Maintenance Technology Program, and the Lineworker program campus provides an outdoor forest of poles for hands-on learning. Over time, BSC has also developed satellite education sites in six rural hospitals in North Dakota and Montana to allow nursing and medical laboratory technician students to stay in their community, obtain their degree, and join the workforce in their hometown.

After operating as part of Bismarck Public Schools for many years, BJC joined the North Dakota University System in 1984 and changed its name to Bismarck State College in 1987. BSC has always maintained a strong focus on affordability and highquality transfer programs, even as the mission expanded.

In 2018, BSC became North Dakota’s Polytechnic Institution, expanding its technical program options and enhancing its focus on hands-on learning, industry partnerships, stackable industryinfluenced certificates, and K-12 pathways that lead students to degrees in high-priority occupations. In 2021, BSC unveiled plans for the region’s only polytechnic education center to be built on campus to encourage project-based learning, collaborative work environments, and skill building that will result in workforce-ready graduates.

As North Dakota’s Polytechnic Institution, BSC is the third largest institution in the North Dakota University System and offers over 100 technical and transfer program options that are flexible, affordable, and accessible. By linking talent with opportunity, BSC builds workforce, drives the economy, and contributes to the strength of the communities we serve at a local, national, and global level.

Legacy Family

THE WACHTERS

Spanning multiple generations, the Wachter Family has established themselves as a beacon of generosity and commitment toward BSC. With their legacy deeply rooted in the institution’s history, Lance and Gail Wachter, along with Chad and Stacy Wachter, have demonstrated unwavering dedication. They have significantly contributed by establishing a substantial scholarship endowment, which benefits students enrolled in the Carpentry program and other technical fields. Their efforts have made it possible to award 10 scholarships annually, enabling students to achieve their educational ambitions. Furthermore, Chad’s contribution extends beyond mere financial assistance. Yearly, he generously donates a lot, allowing BSC Carpentry students to acquire practical experience through the construction of a house, the costs of which he has covered. Since 2007, Chad’s involvement with the BSC Foundation Board of Trustees has been instrumental, further emphasizing the family’s profound influence on the institution.

Dating back to 1947, the Wachter Family’s connection with BSC encompasses four generations and includes 15 family members who have attended the college. Their impact on the local community is monumental, tracing back to 1885 when they harvested ice from the Missouri River to supply local ice boxes, leading up to the establishment of the Wachter Ranch. The family’s contributions are diverse, ranging from land donations for schools and recreational facilities to public services. They have played a pivotal role in the development of Bismarck, including significant projects like Kirkwood Mall. Through their involvement in businesses such as Big Boy, Blarney Stone and Investcore, and their contributions to the development of subdivisions like Cottonwood Lake, Promontory Point and Silver Ranch, the Wachter Family’s legacy in Bismarck is unparalleled.

BSC ACADEMIC MACE

The mace dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was used as a weapon of war. Over time, the mace was adopted as a regal symbol of authority. Academic maces symbolize an institution’s authority to grant degrees.

The Bismarck State College mace was first used in 2008 at the request of President Larry C. Skogen. Designed by Michelle Lindblom, Professor of Art, the mace was crafted through a community endeavor led by the Dakota Woodturners and several BSC alumni. It is carved from North Dakota Badlands cedar, a wood native to the state.

The staff on which the mace is carried represents educational stewardship. Its three rings denote important dates in the growth of the college: September 4, 1939, the first day of classes; February 12, 1951, the day the 32nd Legislative Assembly granted the college 15 acres on the Capitol grounds for a campus site; and April 27, 1987, the day the 50th Legislative Assembly changed the college’s name from Bismarck Junior College to Bismarck State College.

The three-sided pyramid signifies BSC’s commitment to serve the community, state and nation. Each side of the pyramid contains symbols of BSC: the college seal, the tree of knowledge, and the state Capitol building. The top of the pyramid is adorned with a bronze prow representing lifelong learning.
