November 2017 DICKINSON STATE CELEBRATES NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH Dickinson State University (DSU) will celebrate Native American Heritage Month with several events on campus in November. Students, staff, faculty and community members will be able to participate in an array of entertainment suited for all ages. There will even be an opportunity to enjoy a Native American song and dance performance. The Native American Heritage Month celebration will begin with a book reading and signing by Dr. Carter Meland Monday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. in Beck Auditorium, hosted by the Heart River Writers’ Circle (HRWC). Dr. Meland, who describes himself as “a tall, left-handed man of White Earth Anishinaabe heritage,” received his Ph.D. in American Studies with a thesis that examined the role of trickster figures in the works of contemporary Native novelists. He has since gone on to publish articles, stories, and poems in journals and books like Studies in American Indian Literatures, Yellow Medicine Review, Seeing Red: Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins, and Sudden Storm: A Wendigo Reader. He has taught in the Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota since fall 1999.
MEET PERZEN AKOLAWALA, DIRECTOR OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS Tell me a little bit about yourself. I was born and brought up in India but many may not know that I belong to the Parsi clan of the Zoroastrian faith. Zoroastrianism is a monotheistic pre-Islamic religion of ancient Persia founded by Zoroaster in the 6th century BC. In the 10th century, a group of Iranians fled Iran as refugees in search of somewhere to practice their religion freely. The refugee group that landed on the Indian shores are called Parsis. As per the latest census there may be less than 150,000 individuals who belong to the faith. Many always wonder where I get my last name from. My maiden name was Polishwalla and my married name is Akolawala. The story behind these not so easy to say names is that for the longest time Parsees did not have last names. During the British rule in India we were forced to come up with last names to identify families and clans. Most took their last names either from their profession or the place they came from. Hence, Polishwalla meaning the person that polishes and Akolawala meaning the person from Akola.
“We are pleased to start off this year’s visiting writer series with Dr. Meland,” said Martin McGoey, co-chair of the HRWC. “We feel that this will be a fitting presentation as a part of Native American Heritage Month at DSU.”
Through education and experiences I can communicate in many languages which include conversational Arabic and some native Indian languages. Ironically the only common language between me and my husband, who is from SriLanka, is English. Apart from my husband our family consists of the cutest and most loving fur baby Luna. Her nick name is Princess.
DSU has invited Scott Davis, executive director of the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission, to speak on Native American culture and the role of Native Americans in history and modern USA. This event will take place during the Multicultural Committee’s Global Table presentation Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 12 p.m. in Stoxen Library.
What is your role at DSU? Tell us about what you’re up to! I serve as the Director of International Programs and Multicultural Affairs at DSU. The office provides support services for international students ranging from federal compliance to volunteering and host families as well as acculturation services. My role is to also create diversity education programming like Courageous Conversations. I also serve on the Multicultural Committee which puts together Global Tables, noon time conversations with people from diverse cultures.
The movie “Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation” will be shown Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 4:30 p.m. in Beck Auditorium. The documentary follows the Iroquois National Lacrosse Team as they compete in the 2015 World Box Lacrosse Championships. For the first time ever, the championship games were held on an Indian reservation in Onondaga, New York, the capitol of the Iroquois Confederacy.
How did you find your way to Dickinson State University? After graduating with an MBA from Minnesota, I moved to Southern California to start working for a private business. All along I knew that my real calling was to work in the field of International Education. After 5 years in California, I launched a nationwide search for job openings in the field. In 2013 I was offered a job at Dickinson State University as the International Student Recruiter. At that time I was not sure if moving from California to North Dakota would be a good decision to make. In 2017 I can safely say that it has been one of the best decisions I have made.
The Office of International Programs and Multicultural Affairs at DSU will also be bringing Native American performer Jackie Bird to campus Wednesday, Nov. 29. Her performance will begin at 5 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom and will include a hoop dance as well as traditional and contemporary Native American singing. Through the aid of her puppet, “Wild Flower,” Bird will tell stories and sing songs from her culture. She will also perform a dance that has been passed down through her family from generation to generation. This dance has a different meaning for every tribe, but for Bird the dance is for healing. “In all of her performances, Jackie Bird has been praised for her ability to get her audience involved with her contemporary and traditional music, songs and dances,” said Perzen Polishwalla, director of International Programs at DSU. “Woven throughout Jackie’s performance are the intricacies and belief of her Native American culture.”

How did you become interested in working with International Students? I worked as a Graduate Assistant for the Office of International Programs and the Department of Hospitality and Culinology at Southwest Minnesota State University. My experiences, both good and bad, as an international student have honed my interests in International Education. I also selfishly believe that working with students will keep me young forever! I enjoy working in a field where education transcends borders and facilitates exchange of ideas and provides for lifelong learning. Describe your greatest professional accomplishment. One of the accomplishments has been to serve as the North Dakota State Representative for International Education at NAFSA (National Association of Foreign Student Advisors). It has provided a great opportunity to contribute at the regional level as well as network with other professionals. What do you enjoy about our campus community? Our small size creates a friendly and caring environment. I enjoy the many opportunities DSU has provided to expand my professional portfolio. It is exciting to work on such a diverse campus in terms of student body, staff and faculty. I recently had an opportunity to go on an agriculture tour with Dr. Chip Poland and professor Toby Stroh along with a few international students. The tour has given me a new found appreciation of rural southwest North Dakota. I also truly enjoy the illustrations of art and music that take place on campus. My recent favorite being the Israeli music group Sofi and the Baladis. Their music transported me to the time I spent in the Middle East listening to Arabic music. It is these wonderful opportunities that make working at DSU a humbling experience.

DICKINSON STATE NURSING STUDENTS WIN AWARD AT NDCN CONFERENCE
Dickinson State University’s (DSU) senior nursing class attended the North Dakota Center for Nursing’s (NDCN) third annual conference Oct. 12 – 13, at the Radisson Hotel in Bismarck, North Dakota. The students, accompanied by Dr. Mary Anne Marsh, chair of the department of nursing, and Analena Valdes, assistant professor of nursing, presented their senior class research posters on evidence-based research topics such as Light Therapy, Pain Management, Protein Supplements, and Precocious Puberty.
The Grand Opening of the Blue Hawk Hub, a community space with games and TVs, was celebrated with pizza, football and a ribbon cutting! The Blue Hawk Hub is located in the DSU Student Center, room 24.
The conference kicked off with a keynote presentation titled, “Building a Culture of Health in North Dakota,” presented by Monica Ptacek, RN, MSN, CENP, CNE, and Tara Brandner, DNP, FNP-C.

Connection to community is one of the three principles, outlined by DSU President Dr. Thomas Mitzel, which informs activities and planning of the campus community. Since his arrival, Dr. Mitzel has proactively encouraged campus involvement and community activities including hosting multiple events on campus. “We are humbled to be recognized by the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce for the role our campus plays in bringing the community together,” said Mitzel. “Dickinson State is comprised of individuals who work together to strengthen and enrich our region through their service. Dickinson State is not a building, it is people and this award recognizes the value and importance of the contributions made by our faculty, staff and students.” Dickinson State has partnered with the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce for events including Harvest Fest and Arts on the Western Edge. Members of the university community also serve as volunteers, board members and ambassadors for the Chamber. “Service to the community is at the heart of the mission of Dickinson State,” said Marie Moe, executive director of Communications and Public Affairs at DSU and Chamber ambassador. “In serving as ambassador for the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce, I enjoy representing the university as we welcome new businesses and celebrate the success of entrepreneurs in the community.”
“BLUE HAWK FAMILY” SOFTBALL RETRIEVER
Cam, a one and a half year old purebred black lab retriever owned by DSU Facility Operations Custodial Team Leader, Dale Dolechek, had an enjoyable summer. Dolechek and his son Jayden rotated evenings taking Cam to swim in the Heart River near the Gress Softball Complex. On his first swim, Cam came out of the river with a softball he found in the cattails. He proceeded to find five more balls in the river that evening. As July and Dickinson League Softball progressed, Cam found and retrieved a total of 79 “home run” softballs hit to the banks of the Heart River. “Cam absolutely loves the water and I have a hard time getting him out of the river when it’s time to go home,” said Dolechek. “His energy level is phenomenal.” Dolechek played league softball for 31 years and joked, “If I had Cams energy level I would still be playing league softball.” Actually, Dolechek had to give up playing the summer game he loved after a vicious collision with his teammate catcher during a State Tournament game in 2008. Dolechek played third base and while he and his catcher were chasing a foul pop-up near the dugout they collided head first, knocking Dolechek out and injuring his neck. Both players suffered concussions. Dolechek is a 1981 DSU graduate and began working for DSU at Scott Gym three years ago after a thirty-three year career in retail grocery management. He has a great working relationship with the DSU athletic coaches. During Christmas 2015 while conversing with Jenn Hartman, DSU women’s volleyball coach, Dolechek mentioned that his 15 year old son Jayden had wanted to buy him a retriever puppy for Christmas. “Coach Hartman was well aware of my family situation as my wife Jody continues her battle with stage 4 lung cancer and due to ongoing medical expenses I just didn’t have the funds to purchase a purebred puppy nor did my son,” said Dolechek. Jenn mentioned she owned a purebred lab retriever puppy that was in need of a new home. Two days later while Dolechek was working in the lower level of Scott Gym, DSU women’s softball coach, Kristen Fleury, came running up to him frantically and said, “Dale come quick, the toilet between Coach Hartman and my office is leaking water everywhere.“ Dolechek followed Kristen to her office and opened the restroom door and there stood Coach Hartman with a six week old lab puppy in a laundry basket for him. “I was overwhelmed and couldn’t thank Jenn enough. She definitely has a heart of gold,” he said. Hartman added, “This is what being a part of the Blue Hawk Family is all about.” Cam is nearing his second birthday. “I’ve never owned such an intelligent bird dog. I taught him to sit and shake hands at seven and a half weeks old,” said Dolechek. “A week later I taught Cam to lie down. A month later my daughter Briana, a senior art education major at DSU, taught Cam to roll over. I taught him to fetch at three months. When Cam was six months old, I sent him to Polson, Montana, to my daughter Shaina and her husband Kyle Fairbank, both 2010 DSU alumni.” Kyle helped train Cam for bird hunting and took him swimming in Flathead Lake. Cam returned to North Dakota three weeks later. At eleven months Cam was hunting with Dolechek and retrieving rooster pheasants south of Dickinson. “He is also a flusher with some pointer traits as well. He retrieved every bird I shot in CRP fields and made some retrieves in the Antelope Creek that runs through my property. What a rookie season he had, I was very impressed. We have trained hard this summer and I am so excited for his sophomore pheasant season which opens this October.” As for the softballs Cam retrieved in July, Dolechek would like to donate the majority of them to Coach Fleury and the DSU women’s softball team for hitting practice. The remaining balls will be in Dolechek’s backyard for Cams play time. “Once again, a huge thank you to Coach Hartman and the entire DSU coaching staff for their support. It is so true: Once a Blue Hawk, always a Blue Hawk! I am so proud to be a part of the Blue Hawk Family!”
