April 2019 DICKINSON STATE STUDENTS VISIT ITALY DURING 2019 STUDY TOUR

By: Greg Walter, associate professor of art at DSU

Colosseum, Rome

From March 7-18, I had the privilege and pleasure to lead 10 DSU students on a study tour of Italy. I teach art and art history, so this trip was particularly special for me, with Italy being the epicenter of so much art, architecture, literature, theater and music from ancient times until the modern era.

Those 11 days exposed our students to more art, history, and culture than they could get in an entire semester in the classroom. We visited 10 cities, over 20 muVenice seums and galleries, walking approximately 80 miles.

We ate pounds of pasta and pizza, cups of gelato, and the more adventurous even sampled squid, octopus and cuttlefish. We immersed ourselves into the birthplace of the Renaissance in Florence, the birthplace of banking in Siena, and the birthplace of the Roman Empire in Rome.

We were there on the Ides of March, the anniversary of the assassination of Julius Caesar. We visited working ateliers of leather, sculpture, and glass, along with one of the finest vineyards and olive orchards in Tuscany. We experienced the stunning mosaics of Ravenna, the Gothic Byzantine capitol of the West, the unique beauty of Venice, the floating island-city, ancient (pre-Roman) Etruscan caves in Orvieto, and the amazing time capsule of Pompeii. We spent most of a day in Vatican City, which, although it is the smallRavenna est country, it boasts the largest church (St Peter’s Basilica) and art collection in the world. Then, to cap it all off, we ran into Governor Burgum at the Minneapolis airport; he was on the same flight back to Bismarck, and we shared our story with him.

Our DSU students did a wonderful job of representing our state, city, and University, with pleasFlorence ant, respectful, and open attitudes throughout our journey. I have led several groups on different types of trips in the past, and this group is one of the best I have had the pleasure of leading. I hope to make this study tour a regular event.

ELIZABETH SMART TO SPEAK AT DSU APRIL 19 Dickinson State University will host guest speaker Elizabeth Smart Friday, April 19, in Scott Gymnasium. This event will begin at 6 p.m. with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

The abduction of Elizabeth Smart was one of the most followed child abduction cases of our time. Elizabeth was abducted June 5, 2002, and her captors controlled her by threatening to kill her and her family if she tried to escape.

Fortunately, the police safely returned Elizabeth back to her family March 12, 2003, after being held a prisoner for nine grueling months.

Through this traumatic experience, Smart has become an advocate for change related to child abduction, recovery programs and National legislation. She triumphantly testified before her captor and the world about the very private nightmare she suffered during her abduction.

Smart’s abduction and recovery continue to motivate parents, law enforcement and leaders worldwide to focus on children’s safety. She emphasizes vigilance by “everyday” people and the belief that hope always exists to find every missing child.

“Dickinson State University is honored to bring Elizabeth Smart to campus.

Elizabeth’s story is one of trauma, strength and hope,” said Keith James, assistant director of Housing & Dining. “The University looks forward to having Elizabeth share her story with the campus and community. She is inspirational in how she has demonstrated that there is life after tragedy.”

Tickets for this event are sold out. A physical ticket is required for entrance.

Seating is general admission on a first come, first serve basis. Space is limited, so please remember to bring your ticket for admission, which was made available to you in an email from Eventbrite upon reservation, to this event. Tickets that were reserved for Beck Auditorium will be honored for the new location of Scott Gymnasium.

SELECTING THE SOBE LOGO

This piece was written by Dr. Holly Gruhlke for Dickinson’s Heart River Voice publication in March.

In 2017, just in time for our 90th anniversary of business education at Dickinson State University, the Department of Business and Management was appropriately renamed the School of Business and Entrepreneurship (SoBE). This distinction allowed us to communicate our focus of providing quality business education with the entrepreneurial spirit in mind.

As part of the change, we selected an emblem that would appear on letterhead, business cards, and perhaps the side of a building someday. Although an exciting task, it proved to be more difficult than originally anticipated. We believed it was profoundly important to choose something that represented the students, faculty, programs, and mission of the newly formed SoBE. We did not have to venture too far to discover a symbol that is focused on the quality of students we have come to enjoy in the School of Business and Entrepreneurship.

Affixed to the top of Stickney Hall, where SoBE is located, is the three torches icon we use to represent us today.

This symbol, located on one of the campuses oldest buildings and constructed in 1921, represented the pillars of academics and service. Samuel T. May is famously quoted in one of his early addresses to students as stating at DSU, they will “enter to learn, depart to serve.” In business, we have taken that mantra and made it part of what makes our program so unique to others.

In SoBE, there is plenty of opportunity to serve prior to earning a diploma. At any given time, our Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) chapter and Business Club, led by Professor Amy Kass, is hosting events that benefit the community. In October, these groups hosted hundreds of children in Wienbergen Hall for an indoor trick-or-treat. Last year, they raised money for the Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Center. This spring, Dr. Debora Dragseth will be challenging her Business Ethics students again to raise money for a local charity as part of risk taking bartering game titled, “Bigger and Better.” For the last several years, this course has raised over $10,000 for charities, including the Backpack Food Program and United Way.

DSU WELCOMES UNNI BOKSASP ENSEMBLE, FOURTH MUSICAL GROUP TO VISIT AS PART OF ARTS MIDWEST WORLD FEST

The Unni Boksasp Ensemble, a musical group from Norway, will visit Dickinson State University (DSU) and the community as part of Arts Midwest World Fest. A week of area school visits and workshops will culminate in a public musical performance Saturday, April 13, at 7 p.m. in Dorothy Stickney Auditorium in May Hall.

Unni Boksasp is a warm and imaginative singer who draws you easily into the heart of Norway. Over the years, Unni has delved into the deep traditions found across her homeland, studying music and dance with renowned singers and folk arts departments in Norway and beyond.

Her fresh arrangements of folk songs and original compositions have earned wide acclaim: she was a Norwegian national champion of traditional singing in 2010 and 2011 and won a Norwegian Grammy Award and Norwegian Folk Music Award for her 2010 album, Karamell.

The ensemble is the last musical group to visit DSU through a two-year partnership with Minneapolis-based Arts Midwest. During this partnership, four international ensembles visit Dickinson, spending a week each. The groups not only perform publicly but visit schools and other community locations sharing their culture through workshops. Dickinson was selected as one of only nine Midwestern cities to host the 2017–2019 Arts Midwest World Fest. This is a rare opportunity for the community to enjoy an authentic slice of Norwegian music and culture.

Tickets for the Saturday evening performance are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and children, and free for DSU students with a valid ID. Tickets will be available at the door or on dsuarts.com. For more information, contact Dr. Jeremy Wohletz at 701-483-2308 or jeremy.wohletz@dickinsonstate.edu.

In addition to creating activities to demonstrate the importance of service, faculty will serve on community boards. Accounting Professor Mark Lowe is an active participant in the Alzheimer’s Association. He also recently participated in Gene Day, a fundraiser to benefit families with children born with Down syndrome. This type of service models the behavior we hope that students adopt as working professionals.

Service is an important thread that we share in SoBE. When looking at our emblem, we see the true meaning of those three torches as a symbol of enlightenment and hope for the future through service and academics. The crossing of the torches demonstrates the unity and necessity of relationships. We have found that often those relationships we cultivate in collective service to our community last a lifetime. By providing these opportunities, we create a wellrounded academic experience for our students as well as connect with the community that has supported us for over 90 years.

HR MANAGEMENT DEGREE OFFERED BY DSU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP RANKED THIRD IN NATION The Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management offered by Dickinson State University’s (DSU) School of Business and Entrepreneurship was ranked third in the nation during the 2019 Leadership Excellence and Development (LEAD) event March 5 – 8, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

For more than 35 years, the LEAD Awards, formerly known as Leadership Excellence Awards, have identified and recognized the top leadership programs and organizations and their strategies and solutions in their yearly ranking. These prestigious leadership awards salute the world’s top leadership practitioners and programs and highlight their roles in developing their most important asset - their people.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as a top program in the nation,” said Dr. Holly Gruhlke, chair of the School of Business and Entrepreneurship at DSU. “This award is evidence of the School of Business and Entrepreneurship’s dedication to our students and excellence in business education.”

This International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) accredited bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management is intended for undergraduate students seeking to improve their human capital management skills. Students learn skills such as employee recruitment, compensation and training, with special emphasis on retention and strategic hiring practices to meet organizational goals.

“Dr. Gruhlke and her faculty are outstanding examples of the dedication to DSU’s mission statement to provide high-quality, accessible, programs,” said Marilyn Lee, DSU’s associate provost and dean of instruction. “On behalf of Academic Affairs, I extend my congratulations on this award.”

This year’s award winners will be published in the April edition of the Leadership Excellence e-publication.

INTERNATIONAL CLUB AT DSU TO HOST TASTE OF NATIONS APRIL 23 Join Dickinson State University’s (DSU) International Club in a celebration of culture and cuisine from around the world at Taste of Nations. Guests will get the opportunity to sample main dishes and desserts from nine countries Tuesday, April 23, beginning at 5 p.m. in The Perch dining facility in the lower level of the Student Center.

Those attending will be able to try cuisine from Honduras, Turkey, Nepal, Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Japan, Ghana and Pakistan. Enjoy Japanese nikujyaga, a beef and potato dish, or journey to Pakistan to eat shami kebab with paratha bread, a dish of chicken and chickpeas with flatbread. Other dishes served will include guvec, a lamb and vegetable plate, and baklava, an incredible honey and walnut desert, both from Turkey. The menu will also offer vegetarian and vegan options.

“Participants will engage all their senses with music, art and fashion from around the world—but food, of course, will be the centerpiece in bringing the community together for a celebration of cultural diversity,” said Wynter Miller, international programs and multicultural affairs coordinator. Guests will experience not only art, music and dress from many countries, but they will also be entertained by performers who will dance in different traditional styles.

Taste of Nations does more than just provide a wonderful experience for the community; it allows students who come from afar to share their favorite foods with the friends they have made in the community. “I’ve been a part of Taste of Nations for the past two years,” said Daniel Suazo, a junior from Honduras and member of the International Club. “I’m excited to make my family’s recipe for ceviche, a seafood dish made on the coast.”

The Center for Multicultural Affairs started Taste of Nations in 2005, with the International Club running the event in celebration of International Education week. Over the years, the event continued under the International Club and then became a successful fundraiser for the Business Club. In 2016, the Office of International Programs, in conjunction with the International Club and Sodexo, revived the event after a 3-year hiatus. Over the last 15 years, Taste of Nations has evolved from a talent show of cultural performances which featured a few international dishes to a more food-focused event where participants can enjoy a full meal rather than a small sampling.

Taste of Nations is the biggest fundraiser for the International Club. The proceeds from ticket sales are used to plan subsidized recreational and educational trips for students, so everyone attending is helping enrich the experience of the international students who chose to pursue their education in Dickinson.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for ages 7-12, and free for children 6 years of age and younger. A special promotion of four adult tickets for $50 is available to those who purchase in advance. Tickets can be purchased in the One-Stop in May Hall Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Tickets will also be available at the door. For more information, contact Wynter Miller at wynter.miller@dickinsonstate.edu.

It Can Happen Here

Why did you choose Dickinson State University for your bachelor’s degree?

Dickinson State University was an easy choice for me. I grew up in the country and went to a small high school, so I appreciated the small town feel of both DSU and Dickinson itself. I also was accepted into the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program which was a huge factor in my attending DSU. The program offered me unique classes and leadership opportunities not available at most universities, as well as a sizeable scholarship which meant financial freedom during my attendance. I will forever be grateful that I was able to start law school with absolutely zero student loans. Of course, I was an active competitor in rodeo so the success of the DSU Rodeo Team also drew me here.

In what year did you graduate and what degree(s) did you earn?

I graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Leadership Studies.

Did you graduate with any honors?

I graduated Summa Cum Laude.

Did you participate in any campus clubs or organizations?

I competed on the DSU Rodeo Team all four years that I attended DSU. It was one the most fun times of my life. Most of my very best friends and memories were made on that team.

Was there a certain professor who made a big impact on your life?

I originally wanted to be a clinical psychologist and so my biggest influence came from Dr. Andrew McGarva. He mentored me and offered numerous opportunities to gain practical experience in the field. Of course, I can’t overlook one of my leadership classes which was taught by adjunct professor Paul Ebeltoft, who would later jump start my legal career and ultimately become my senior partner at Ebeltoft . Sickler . Lawyers.

What did you enjoy most about being a Blue Hawk?

The people I met and the opportunities I was given.

What was the most difficult thing for you as an undergraduate, and how did you overcome it?

The most difficult thing for me was making decisions regarding my future and where I wanted to be at the end of my college career. Along with that came learning to say no to things for the sake of time management and selfpreservation…I’m still working on that.

What are you most proud of when you look back at your time at DSU? I’m proud of my willingness to push myself out of my comfort zone and my unwillingness to settle inside any cookie cutter standard of what was expected of me. Between roping practice, psychology experiment presentations, honors luncheons and a mission trip to Mexico, I was kind of all over the place as a student. But that’s what makes me happy and I continue to live my life that same way.

What would you tell someone who is considering attending DSU? Go for it! And don’t be afraid to try something new when you’re here.

How did your time at DSU help you to be successful in your later pursuits?

It gave me a degree, no student debt, and introduced me to the people who I now own a successful legal practice with – it’s tough to beat that!

What are you doing now?

I am a lawyer and one of five partners at Ebeltoft . Sickler . Lawyers. I practice mainly in civil defense litigation. Most of my work involves defending companies sued in personal injury accidents and defending health care institutions in medical malpractice actions.

You were just recognized as one of Prairie Business Magazine’s Top 25 Women. Congratulations! What does that mean to you?

Thank you! It means the world to me, both on a personal level and on a grander scale - to be able to show off Dickinson to the rest of the state was something I was very honored to do.

Do you have any plans for the future you would like to share?

I have a seven-month-old daughter, so my current plans include surviving her!

Just kidding. I’m just excited to take on the next challenge of juggling life with loved ones, work and play.
