DSU ALUMNUS STEPHEN EASTON NAMED INTERIM PRESIDENT During a special ND State Board of Higher Education meeting held via teleconference Nov. 14, 2019, Stephen D. Easton, J.D., was named interim president of Dickinson State University (DSU). Easton has a strong personal connection to Dickinson State University. Easton, who graduated summa cum laude from DSU in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a minor in business administration, was the third generation of his family to choose Dickinson State. After earning his undergraduate degree at DSU, Easton enrolled in Stanford Law School where he earned his Juris Doctorate in 1983. Easton practiced law for more than 20 years before returning to higher education as a professor and administrator.
We had the opportunity to visit with Mr. Easton about his recent appointment. We are looking forward to welcoming you on campus. When will you arrive? I will be taking a leave of absence from my current position at the University of Wyoming to begin my work at Dickinson State University on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019. I look forward to meeting with the staff, faculty and community during my first weeks on campus. Tell us about your family. My wife, Marivern, and I have three children. Our oldest and only daughter, Gaylemarie, graduated from the University of Missouri and currently resides in Florida where she works in member relations at a tennis and golf facility. Tedder, our oldest son, graduated with his bachelor’s degree from the University of Wyoming, where he is now pursuing a master’s degree in counseling. He also works with at risk youth in Laramie. Our youngest son Nathanial, or “Nate” as he is known in Dickinson, graduated from Dickinson State University. Nate worked for the DSU Heritage Foundation after graduation. After completing his master’s degree from the University of Massachusetts this May, he is pursuing his PhD at the University of Connecticut. He hopes to eventually teach at the university level in the area of business. Marivern is the assistant director of the WWAMI program at the University of Wyoming, a program whereby the states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming educate their medical students for the first year and a half at their respective state universities before they transfer to the University of Washington’s School of Medicine to finish their degrees. Why did you apply for the position of interim president at Dickinson State University? My interest in serving as the interim president stems from a lifelong passion for DSU. For four generations, my family has benefitted from this cherished institution. My grandmother attended Dickinson Normal and then taught in one-room and other schools in southwestern North Dakota. My father attended Dickinson State Teachers College, then pursued a career in teaching and, later, community college administration, including the presidencies of five community colleges. I attended Dickinson State College, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a minor in business administration. I am hopeful that my work background will help DSU. Through much good fortune, I have accumulated over two decades in higher education, service as a leader of a government agency (as U.S. Attorney), over a decade in private business (as a partner of a leading North Dakota law firm), and work at two law schools (as a dean and a Policy Committee member), including extensive scholarship (including two solo-authored books and two co-authored books). Education, including my DSU education, is what made that good fortune possible for me. I cherish the opportunity to give our students similar opportunities via education at DSU.

The strength of the University lies in its legacy of service. Service to its students, service to the community and service to the region. Preparing students to lead in their profession by providing access to quality educational opportunities is the cornerstone of the University. It is exciting to be part of continuing to honor this legacy of service as we plan for the future. Supporting this initiative, there must be a foundation of integrity. We must be honest, even when it hurts. We must be who we say we are. As in any human enterprise, there will be difficulties and bad days. I will be honest whether the news is good or bad, celebrating the good news and learning from the bad news to help us become even stronger in the future. There is so much to learn and so much more to be done. Of course, the president of the University, alone, can do very little. But there are good people at Dickinson State and in southwestern North Dakota who are standing at the ready to build the future of Dickinson State. What a special privilege it will be to work with them for our beloved “college on the hill.”
OPEN FORUM WITH INTERIM PRESIDENT EASTON Faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members are invited to join Interim President Easton for an open forum Friday, Dec. 6, at 2 p.m. in Beck Auditorium. SBHE Chair Nick Hacker will also be present to visit with the campus and community. This is an open discussion and there is no formal agenda. A coffee social will follow the open forum in the lobby of Klinefelter Hall.
Dickinson State University welcomes the community to attend the 2019 fall commencement ceremony Friday, Dec. 20, at 2 p.m. in May Hall’s Dorothy Stickney Auditorium.
APPLICATION
What do you believe are the University’s strengths? After deciding to apply, I drilled down to determine the realities for my alma mater. I have discovered a faculty and staff that includes many who are the kind of teachers that highlighted my time as a student, a vibrant community with an economic base as diverse (with agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and energy as major players) as any in North Dakota that is eager to support the University, and political leadership that has worked hard for the University.

As an alumnus of Dickinson State, how did your time here impact your life? My decision to attend Dickinson State was one of the best in my life. As I have often said, of all the teachers at all of the fine educational institutions that I was fortunate enough to attend, my best, including Mr. Richard King, Dr. Lee Skabo, and Ms. Jean Waldera, were at Dickinson. For me, Dickinson State was the right size, as I was able to participate in student government, theater, athletics, and other extracurricular activities, even though I was far from a star in any of them. It is hard for those outside my family to understand just how crucial Dickinson State has been to my family and me.

DICKINSON STATE UNIVERSITY PARTNERS TO BRING WELDING TRAINING TO DICKINSON
Dickinson State University (DSU) held a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the installation of a mobile welding trailer unit outside of the DSU Agriculture Building Thursday, Nov. 7. The decision to bring welding to campus was made, in part, based on feedback from workforce in the community. Steffes Corporation of Dickinson is one of the local partners who has been instrumental in providing input regarding professional training needs for workforce. “Steffes is happy to partner with TrainND, Bismarck State College, and Dickinson State University to provide this great opportunity for workforce training in Dickinson and southwest North Dakota,” said Kristal Fields, training specialist with Steffes in Dickinson. “Steffes understands the importance of investing in current employees and future employees to help bring about additional opportunities for people and families to settle and work in this community and region.”
HOW DICKINSON STATE UNIVERSITY’S NATURAL SCIENCES’ PROGRAMS HAVE RESPONDED TO STEM WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS By: Dr. Craig Whippo, Associate Professor of Biology and Co-Chair of the Department of Natural Sciences & Dr. Corinne Brevik, Professor of Physics and Co-Chair of the Department of Natural Sciences Students today can learn content at a distance from online written materials, videos and selfpaced exercises. The need for asynchronously delivered online educational opportunities to teach content will continue to grow. On the other hand, critical thinking skills and the ability to apply knowledge in a real-world setting must be practiced in a face-to-face, hands-on environment. The most effective and lasting way to learn these skills is through live interactions with a teacher who also serves as a mentor outside of class. Active faculty-student interactions improve academic progress, student persistence, educational attainment and institutional retention rates. These faculty-student interactions have always been a hallmark of Dickinson State University’s (DSU) Department of Natural Sciences. We hear DSU Natural Sciences alumni often reflect upon the importance of the relationships that they built with professors such as Myron Freeman, Robert Todd, or Paula Martin in their intellectual development. The current faculty of the Department of Natural Sciences continues to follow these footsteps in innovative ways. These innovations began several years ago when our science programs refocused their student learning objectives on the process of doing, communicating and evaluating science. This refocusing represents a departure from traditional undergraduate science learning objectives that emphasized the memorization of specific details and rote problem-solving. The old paradigm of science education incorrectly assumed that strong memorization skills indicated a student’s level of intelligence. In today’s society, the ability to think critically and creatively is more important than rote memorization skills because nearly everyone has access to online information on their smartphones. The traditional focus on rote learning can cause capable students to fall behind and “weeds” them out of the STEM training pipeline. Consequently, many students who start out as STEM majors drop out of college or switch majors. To improve student success in our introductory courses for majors, we have moved away from passive lectures to a mixture of lectures and active learning. In the introductory biology sequence, for example, students learn the core concepts by interacting with real scientific data to construct an understanding of a concept based on evidence. By approaching science through evidence, introductory biology students learn science in the way that practicing scientists learn new concepts – in the context of data. We have found that this approach decreases the gap between struggling students and thriving students while increasing overall rigor. Students also engage in the material more deeply and learn to think like advanced scientists earlier in their career. Prior to making these changes, 30 to 50% of students enrolled in introductory science courses would be academically unsuccessful. After making these adjustments, the percentage of unsuccessful students decreased to 5 to 15%. These changes have improved our student retention rates, and we are seeing more students taking biology courses or picking up biology majors and minors. An added benefit of these changes is that these courses are more enjoyable for the faculty because it is fun and rewarding to see students make the connections on their own. We have also improved access to formal mentoring opportunities for our science majors because educational research indicates that faculty-student mentoring relationships improve degree completion rates, enhance opportunities for underrepresented groups, and increase participation in the STEM workforce. One way that we have improved mentoring opportunities for our students is through the institution of a capstone research experience for all science majors. This research experience starts with a student choosing a faculty-research mentor in their junior year and writing a formal research proposal outlining the research goals, expectations and methodology. Before starting their research, the students are required to present their proposal and defend it to a panel of faculty members. The process of defending their proposal gives students experience making persuasive arguments and helps prepare them for similar defenses required for advanced degrees. Next, during the fall semester of their senior year, students perform the research that they proposed, and they learn how to analyze the data that they generate. Once the data is collected and analyzed, students write a formal scientific manuscript about their research project and give presentations to the public about their research. The mentoring students receive from faculty in this process is unique because all of our students are given this opportunity, unlike other universities where undergraduate research experience is reserved for honors students alone.
As a Dual Mission institution, DSU is responsive and relevant in meeting the educational needs of the citizens in our region, in part, by partnering to offer workforce training. This unique designation has allowed DSU to partner with TrainND Southwest and Bismarck State College to bring a mobile welding trailer unit to the DSU campus in Dickinson. “We are seeing success with the dual mission initiatives already underway and are looking forward to bringing more of these opportunities to our region,” said Marie Moe, vice president of University Relations and Student Recruitment. In summer 2019, Dickinson State University offered its first two workforce training programs. In addition to a communication workshop, DSU partnered with St. Luke’s Home in Dickinson to offer certified nursing assistant (CNA) training. The CNA course, approved by the North Dakota State Department of Health, was designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to perform basic care services for a patient in an acute care setting, or a resident in a long-term care setting. The CNA class filled to capacity prior to the registration deadline, reinforcing the need for DSU to offer this type of workforce training. To further expand the Dual Mission designation, DSU will continue to explore opportunities to bring needed training to the Dickinson area for the short and long term. Our faculty interactions with students can be characterized by more than what happens in our classrooms or research settings. Because we are a small community, the students encounter our faculty many times over the course of their undergraduate career in a wide variety of situations. This allows faculty to relate to each student individually and to demonstrate an interest in the immediate and long-term goals of our students. When a student needs a little more motivation and encouragement, we are able to respond in targeted ways to help students stay on track. We understand that many of our students will be the first in their family to graduate from college. While family support is essential to academic success, our faculty help fill in the gaps on topics related to specific academic requirements and career guidance. As students prepare to graduate, our faculty help students by reviewing graduate school and job applications as well as personal statements. We also write letters of recommendation that are based upon our intensive interactions with students. Because these letters of recommendation are specifically tailored, we can highlight aspects of our students’ skills and abilities that are not always evident in an academic transcript. These types of interactions are essential for student success in transitioning from an undergraduate university to a professional school or straight into a career. One of the goals of DSU’s science department is to build a competent and flexible STEM workforce. North Dakota proudly ranks sixth in the country in terms of the percentage of adults who have graduated from high school (92.3%). However, we only rank 28th in the number of these individuals holding a bachelor’s degree (28.9%), and we rank last in the proportion of adults with advanced degrees (7.8%). These statistics suggest that North Dakota universities and colleges have work to do to improve adult access to meaningful educational opportunities because the state needs to develop a workforce that is thoughtful, creative, precise, resilient, and diversified in order to thrive in an age of rapid changes. Obviously, not all careers require these traits, but large corporations consider these workforce traits when deciding where to locate their operations. Furthermore, North Dakota’s largest employers include health care, education and scientific services. In these fields, STEM degrees are often required, and revenue generation is heavily dependent upon workers’ skills and knowledge. By being more deliberate in our approach to establish and grow strong student-faculty relationships, DSU’s science faculty are helping to build and grow the desperately-needed STEM workforce in western North Dakota.

over there. Being able to be a part of the DSU vote that got that building approved, as well as helping move in, was a cool full-circle experience.
Kyle: I grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado. I am the oldest of five kids in a blended family. Our house revolved around sports, dirt bikes, chores and Boy Scouts. In the summer I would live with my dad in Estes Park, Colorado, and work at a local go-kart track.
Brittney: Homecoming 2010, senior year, I participated in all of the activities from the parade to the dance and being in the front row of the student section with my friends Chandra, Trisha and Troy at the football game!
Brittney: I am originally from Beulah, North Dakota. My dad worked for Basin Electric and my mom worked in the school system. I have an older brother and a younger sister. In high school I was active in band, drama and various activities at our church! How did you two meet? Kyle: I had just gotten back from working for Medora Corporation. I would travel and install SolarBees in water tanks during the summer, and my roommate Alyssa (Libis) Stebleton ’12 introduced me to her co-worker, Brittney. A few years later Brittney told me that we were dating, and now, here we are, seven years later, with two kids! Brittney: Kyle’s answer is mostly right… Why did you choose to attend DSU? Kyle: I first found DSU thanks to my grandparents, who live in Dickinson. In the summers when we would come up to visit, my grandpa, Lloyd Schnaidt, introduced me to the famous Blue Hawk Football Camp… I started attending camp as an individual. My senior year I told Coach Biesiot I wanted to be a Blue Hawk, and I haven’t left since. Brittney: I chose DSU for several reasons. DSU has an exceptional education program (elementary education was my first path), the university is a big part of the community which is important to me, and the size of the school was appealing. I wanted to be more than just a student and with the class sizes at DSU, you get to know all of your classmates and professors on a more intimate level. In what year(s) did you graduate and what degrees did you earn?
What are you most proud of when you look back at your time at Dickinson State? Kyle: Obviously, I’m proud to have graduated as a Blue Hawk. I look back on my years at DSU and am glad it panned out the way it did. It’s why I still have the connection to the University I do today. Being from 500 miles away, there were times I thought about going home, but I am glad I stayed. Brittney: I am proud to have graduated from a university that teaches the importance of community to its students. What did you enjoy most about being Blue Hawks? Kyle: Heck, I still am a Blue Hawk! I graduated but they still can’t kick me out! Coach Biesiot had a saying that I heard as a player, but later learned what it truly meant when I was a coach. He used to say, “Sometimes the kid needs the team, more than the team needs the kid.” I look back and know that I was that kid. The Blue Hawks did not need a short wide receiver from out of state… but I needed Coach B, the team and DSU. I think about this saying often, and it’s a big reason why I try to stay involved now. You never know who you might be helping. Brittney: I enjoy the small school aspect, the sense of comradery and knowing your professors and classmates on a more individual level. What would you tell someone who is considering attending Dickinson State? Kyle: Apply! There is something special about the small-town college atmosphere. Get on campus and check it out. In a time where college costs are rising so fast, come get a quality education that won’t break the bank and will help you get to work after graduation.
Kyle: In 2012 with a degree in exercise science and a minor in coaching.
Brittney: DSU gives you the education, support and guidance you need for your future. The professors and staff are invested in you as a young adult.
Brittney: In 2011 with a degree in human resource management and business administration and a minor in management.
How did DSU help shape your decisions for your path after you graduated?
Was there a certain professor who made a big impact on either of your lives? Kyle: Multiple people at DSU have impacted me. Coach Biesiot made a big impact, and Dr. Grabowsky helped me improve as a student. Pete Leno was the biggest influence on me. To this day I still look up to him. His impact reached far outside the classroom… advice on life, football and his always-entertaining “encouragement” phrases have stuck with me and have helped me in my professional life. Brittney: I came to DSU as an elementary education major, and out of peer pressure, I took a business class with a friend who did not want to take an introduction to business class alone. Professor Kostas Voutsas taught the course, and a few weeks into the semester, he was my advisor and business administration was my major! The professors who were influential to me were Dr. Dragseth, who set high expectations for her students but gave them the support they needed to exceed her expectations. Shawna Egli had a classroom full of seniors in her calculus class who couldn’t pass a test. She realized 95% of them were business majors and tailored the rest of the semester to help us all succeed! What is a favorite memory you have of your time as undergraduates? Kyle: I was a student-coach when we built and moved into the Biesiot Activities Center (BAC). I remember Coach Hofland giving me the keys to his old gray pickup as he said “Move us in and don’t (mess) it up,” and with the help of the former BAC Coordinator, Aaron Johansen, we learned how everything worked
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder
Kyle: My last semester, Pete Leno told me I had to leave, but that I could always come back. With that advice I accepted a Graduate Assistant position at the University of Mary to coach football (insert ‘boos’ here) and get my master’s degree. And that decision to pursue that opportunity has shaped and opened doors for me that I never would have known were there. Had it not been for DSU through the connections and recommendations, those doors would not have been made available. Brittney: People are my passion and since graduating, I’ve been able to have a career in the HR field. How do you stay involved in your community or with DSU? Kyle: This question gets me in trouble. I am very good at volunteering us both for things without checking with Brittney first… We both serve on committees at our church, St. John. I serve on the Blue Hawk Booster Club and during the football season I volunteer as the stadium announcer. What are you doing now? Kyle: I am the operations manager at CHI St. Alexius Health in Dickinson. Brittney: I’m the director of human relations at Palmer Mfg. & Tank, Inc. Do you have any plans for the future you would like to share? We look forward to raising our family in Dickinson and being a part of the community. We have two kids, Brannigan (2) and Jett (4 months), we hope they find the same enjoyment and love that we have for the area.
