June 2019 DWORSHAK AND SEASE NAMED DSU’S 2019 OUTSTANDING GRADUATES Allisha Dworshak and Thomas Sease were named Dickinson State University’s (DSU) 2019 Outstanding Graduates at the Outstanding Graduate awards ceremony held Friday, May 10, in the Student Center Ballroom. The Outstanding Graduate Award is the highest honor bestowed on two graduating seniors by the University. Dworshak and Sease were nominated, along with 18 other students, by faculty in their academic departments for exceptional performance in their fields of study. Allisha Dworshak, daughter of Timothy and Lisa Dworshak, is graduating from Dickinson State University with a double major in accounting and business and a minor in leadership. Raised in the country outside of Dickinson, North Dakota, Dworshak is a wonderful example of a student who has successfully used her drive and determination to achieve her goals. Thomas Sease, son of Ted and Shelly Sease of Bismarck, North Dakota, is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a minor in exercise science. Sease is a first-generation college student who made a promise to himself during convocation his freshman year of college that his experience was going to be full of limitless opportunities.
An interview with the 2019 Outstanding Graduate Award winners: Congratulations on receiving the 2019 Outstanding Graduate Awards! What does this recognition mean to you? Dworshak: I am honored to have received one of the 2019 Outstanding Graduate Awards. This recognition means to me that I made a positive impact on those around me during my time at Dickinson State University. It indicates that all of my hard work did not go unnoticed. I consider this recognition especially special as all of the nominees this year were, without a doubt, amazing candidates and deserving of this award. Sease: This award truly means everything to me. I am extremely humbled and honored that the committee would even consider me for this prestigious award. That being said, I would like to congratulate all nominees and graduates knowing there were many others who were just as deserving of this award. Why did you choose to attend Dickinson State University? Dworshak: The three main factors that led to my decision to attend Dickinson State University were as follows: tuition cost, degrees offered, and the rodeo program. Sease: I decided to come to DSU because it was one of the only schools that was going to allow me to participate in football and track. At the time, I took pride in being a well-rounded athlete and person. Furthermore, both of these programs emphasized the importance of academics as a student athlete. This included teaching the skills necessary to be successful as an athlete, a student, and as a member of this close knit community. Is there a certain professor who had an impact on you while you studied at DSU? Dworshak: Amy Kass, assistant professor of accounting, unquestionably is the professor who had the greatest impact on me while I studied at DSU. Professor Kass was not only my academic advisor but also my Phi Beta Lambda advisor. I had the pleasure of getting to know Professor Kass on a personal level and love her passion, energy and drive. She has a kind soul, a fun personality, and is always willing to offer a helping hand. Sease: The professor that I looked up to the most at Dickinson State was my mentor Dr. Wendy Wilson. Dr. Wilson consistently went above and beyond for all of her students demonstrating commitment, passion, and enthusiasm in the classroom. At one point, Dr. Wilson was the only faculty member in the Psychology department and willingly taught on an overloaded schedule for more than two years. Having a mentor like her has inspired me as a student to want to teach at the college level in hope of influencing students’ lives in the same way she did for me. What is your favorite memory from your time here? Dworshak: It would be extremely difficult to pinpoint one exact favorite memory from DSU. I have made numerous great memories at DSU. Some of my favorite memories include national trips for organizations such as Phi Beta Lambda, Farm Bureau, and Student Senate, the many memories made during college rodeo weekends, and the simple memories of just rolling in laughter with fellow classmates and professors who I now consider my best friends. Sease: In retrospect, my most fond memories at DSU came from the extracurricular activities I was able to be a part of. Within these organizations, I was able to meet people who I will always consider as life-long friends. These individuals gave me a feeling of connectedness and held me accountable for my actions. These individuals also acted as my support system throughout my days at DSU. Do you have any advice for incoming freshman? Dworshak: My advice to incoming freshman is to get involved. Take advantage of everything that is offered to you as a student. Join clubs and organizations, attend events, and get to know the people around you. Sease: My advice to incoming freshman would be to get involved. Whether that
be through sports, clubs, research, or any other extracurricular activity. It is these activities that will help you develop lifelong skills that go far beyond the classroom. Additionally, take advantage of every opportunity available. Not all people get the chance to attend college so cherish every day of it. You truly can do anything you set your mind to. How have you grown as a person during your time at Dickinson State? Dworshak: I have grown as a person during my time at DSU by learning the importance of having a lifelong commitment to serving others and the fact that you can always push past your limits. Sease: Coming into DSU as a freshman I would describe myself as the stereotypical jock. I did not care about school or even how I presented myself as a person. My primary concern was being eligible to participate in football and track. Now, however, I have found meaning outside of sports and value the importance of putting others needs before my own. During my time at Dickinson State, I was able to develop skills such as work-ethic, resilience, compassion and professionalism. All characteristics needed to be a contributing member of society. What are you most proud of when you look back at your time at DSU? Dworshak: I am most proud of the impact I made on the DSU Phi Beta Lambda Chapter and the success I achieved as an individual, as well as the success our chapter achieved on a state and national level. Sease: I am most proud of how I was able to develop myself as a person throughout my time at DSU. As I stated earlier, I was nothing more than a naïve 18 year old child walking through these doors the first time. Five years later, I am walking out these doors as a completely different person. It was with the help of my teachers, coaches, and friends that I was able to redefine myself for the better. What helped you the most in accomplishing your goals at DSU? Dworshak: Time management paired with drive to get things done to the best of my ability are what helped me accomplish my goals at DSU. Sease: The people within the walls of Dickinson State are what helped me most. Dickinson is a very special space. There appears to be an unmatched level of connectedness between its students, faculty and alumni. The community also does a great job of getting behind those who attend DSU. As a student, to see so many people come together for the love of a small town college is nothing short of remarkable. This support makes students really feel at home and enables them to do their best. What was the most difficult thing for you as a college student, and how did you overcome it? Dworshak: The most difficult thing to overcome as a college student is trying to find a balance between school, work, and still have a social life. I attempted to overcome this challenge by making sure I was focused when completing coursework, not working an excessive number of hours to ensure I would be able to maintain my GPA to retain scholarships and making time to go out and have fun with friends. Sease: The most difficult thing I had to overcome in college was failure. I think this is probably something that all college students struggle with initially. It is a horrible feeling. However, I began to grow as a person once I realized that failing is just a part of the process. It took me almost five years to realize that it is not our failures that define who we are but instead how we respond to these failures. It is about having the courage to push oneself far enough to fail that really speaks volumes about one’s true character. What did you enjoy most about being a Blue Hawk? Dworshak: The thing I enjoyed most about being a Blue Hawk was the feeling of putting on that blue and grey vest and representing my school while doing something that I loved. I enjoyed the people I got to meet and the friends that turned into family. Sease: What I enjoyed most about being a Blue Hawk was the continuous pursuit of excellence. Whether that be on the field, in the classroom, or in the lab. Although difficult to describe, people from Dickinson State just do things a little bit differently. This was one of the first things I noticed coming into college as a wide eyed freshman. They take the upmost pride in their work, always strive to do their best, and do not make excuses when things do not go their way. Therefore, I am extremely proud to be associated with such a respected group of individuals. What are your plans after graduation? Dworshak: After graduation I plan on attending Law School. I have applied and been accepted to Iowa City, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and the University of North Dakota. I have decided to attend UND-School of Law. Upon graduating from law school, I plan on practicing law full time. Over time, I aspire to become a partner in the firm. After I have been a partner for many years, I plan on running for governor. After serving a term as governor, I plan on applying for a judgeship. Upon completion, I plan to become a respected judge. Sease: After graduation I will be immediately continuing my research related to substance abuse. It is my hope to develop a single construct that is able to predict treatment efficacy for those struggling with addiction. In the fall, I will be attending the University of Louisiana while taking classes from the Psychology and Biology department. This will allow me to take an interdisciplinary approach as a future clinician. What will you take from DSU as you move on into the future? Dworshak: The most important thing I will take with me as I move into the next chapter of my life is the valuable connections I have made at DSU. I will also take with me the work ethic and study habits I learned during my time at DSU. Sease: Things I will take with me from DSU include the skills required to be successful in the next level of my education. Dickinson State in general does a great job of preparing students for life after college whether that be continuing their education or entering the work force. To be at an undergraduate institution with so many administrators, faculty, and staff dedicated to higher education is truly a blessing and something I will never take for granted. I want to thank all of those who helped me over the past five years, I will never forget what you did for me.
DICKINSON STATE CLASS OFFERS UNIQUE COLLABORATION WITH NORTH DAKOTA TEACHERS Dickinson State University students taking Adolescent Literature, one of Mr. Kevin Moberg’s spring classes, just completed a semester-long collaboration with K-12 educators from around the state.
Thirteen teachers from Dickinson, Hebron, Mandan, Bismarck, and Minot joined the students in Moberg’s class to read several of the same books together and discuss them in online literature groups. The educators included librarians, elementary teachers, and middle school and high school teachers of English, social studies, and special education. Since 2015, Moberg has been inviting teachers each spring to serve as mentors in this way to his Adolescent Literature students. The teachers who participate offer their insights on the use of middle grade and young adult literature with their own students. At the same time, the teachers gain insights from the Adolescent Literature students and from the other teachers as they share their thoughts and questions together in online discussion forums. Those teachers ended the semester by writing letters to the Adolescent Literature students, reflecting on what they gained from the experience. They thanked the DSU students for challenging them to think in new ways about the books and for reenergizing them as readers and teachers alike. One of the teachers wrote, “Congratulations on completing one of the most engaging, fulfilling classes you will ever take.” Another offered this advice to the education majors in the class: “Watch for continuing education classes like this one that will push you to keep reading and keep learning!” Moberg, an assistant professor of English and Education at DSU, offers this and other classes to K-12 teachers through the University’s West River Teacher Center (WRTC), a unit that provides continuing education courses to teachers for professional development graduate credit. WRTC’s summertime offerings are available to view online at www.dickinsonstate.edu/wrtc.

WHAT IT TAKES TO EDUCATE A NURSE By: Dr. Cheryl Lantz, PhD, RN, Chair of the Department of Nursing More than 18,400 nurses are licensed to work in healthcare settings across the state of North Dakota according to the North Dakota Board of Nursing. Before they begin their service, they must first undergo educational preparation. So what does it take to educate a nurse? There are many aspects to educating a nurse. It requires an entire professional department of graduate degree prepared nurses, a cadre of nursing and related general education courses, plus an all-encompassing array of clinical sites in which student nurses practice their skills and hone their abilities to critically think through each patient and situation they may encounter. Education and preparation makes for nurses whom are competent and capable of entering the professional world of healthcare. After all, nurses have been acknowledged as the most trusted professionals for the 20th year in a row, according to a 2019 Gallop Poll. Dickinson State University (DSU) has been helping prepare trained nurses for more than 50 years, nurses that are recognized for excellence and service. So how does DSU produce terrific nurses? The nursing programs at DSU educate Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) working toward Associate of Applied Science in Practical Nursing (AASPN) degrees, a pathway that provides an opportunity for students to ladder into a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, to become Registered Nurses (RN). The education of a bachelor’s degree prepared registered nurse involves the completion of 126 credit hours. This total includes approximately 62 credit hours of nursing specific courses, covering content in nursing practice and nursing concepts of care and care systems. Student nurses are also required to enroll in approximately 50% of clinical courses within the 62 credits. Students learn in the classroom the knowledge and science of nursing, while they apply it to practice arenas in their clinical courses. It is in the clinical practice settings that students learn about the science of patient care and the art of nursing. Soft skills need to be cultivated and honed, in direct care of patients, under the watchful guidance and coaching of professors. To assist the University in the preparation of future nurses, the Department of Nursing at Dickinson State has cultivated relationships with over 30 clinical agencies of health care. The department would not exist without many clinical partners in the education of students. Students are exposed to many aspects of healthcare. Those settings to name a few involve: acute care in hospitals, long term care, adult clinics, women’s health and pediatric clinics, day cares for child health screenings, school health, public and community health, correctional facility nursing, disaster preparedness, and mental health care. Dickinson State University covers the entire southwest corner of the state with a network of clinical partners. A new addition to nursing education is the advancement of simulated patients, which are high tech look-alike computer based human size models. DSU faculty can prepare scenarios where students care for the patient in a new manner, in a safe laboratory, hospital room type setting. This practice results in better prepared nurses. Nursing programs across the nation have simulation labs, where this was not prevalent 20 years ago. Nursing education has gone high tech, and the DSU nurse education program provides this advanced opportunity for student nurses. Another component of nursing education is the strong base of science courses and general education to round out the preparation of a university level degree. Nursing depends heavily on understanding the human condition through science, psychology, sociology, mathematics, and the array of general education classes. Student nurses are further developed with these types of courses, into educated persons whom can articulate well, to future employers and patients they encounter. The Department of Nursing at DSU was recently ranked as the #1 Best BSN Program in North Dakota by RNCareers.org. This ranking reflects points for having an accredited nursing program, RN National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) pass rates and affordability of a nursing program. DSU experienced both LPN AASPN and RN BSN programs holding a 100% pass rate for the previous academic year. DSU graduates do indeed pass their board exams, and go on to fruitful careers in nursing. Dickinson State produces approximately 50 new nurses each year! Some students are hired close to home in Dickinson, while others travel to work in other states or countries. The faculty are dedicated to teaching and creating nurses for the world. New nurses are needed to aide in the nursing shortage and there is a demand for nurses that will continue into the future. According to the North Dakota Center for Nursing, North Dakota is projected to need 3,270 more new nurses by 2026, to add to its base of current practicing RNs. Nationwide, the projections describe a need for 100,000 new nurses per year through 2022. America has nearly 4 million nurses at present, and will need replacements for retiring nurses plus the demand for new nursing positions as healthcare keeps growing (NursingWorld.org). There is a demand for nurses and it will continue into the future. America needs nurses and Dickinson State University will remain strong in its preparation of nurses into the future as it has done for the last 50 years. On another note, with the University’s recent Dual Mission designation, the Department of Nursing is trying to help others to think about entering nursing as a career. The department is offering a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) program in July 2019. Please visit the Dickinson State University Department of Nursing webpage at www.dickinsonstate.edu/nursing for more information. It is the hope that once new CNAs see the value of nursing, they will return to DSU for a licensed nurse degree.

DICKINSON STATE APPOINTS STANTON AS DIRECTOR OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
DSU TO OFFER MASTER OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP BEGINNING FALL 2019
Pete Stanton has been appointed by Dickinson State University (DSU) President Dr. Thomas Mitzel to serve as the director of intercollegiate athletics.
Dickinson State University (DSU) received approval at the Dec. 6, 2018, State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) meeting to offer a Master of Entrepreneurship (ME), the University’s second approved master’s program. In a unanimous vote, DSU was approved to launch its inaugural cohort, which will begin online in August 2019. The program received approval from the Higher Learning Commission April 15, 2019.
Stanton has served as the interim athletic director since 2017, a role he assumed in addition to his role as head coach for Blue Hawk football, a position he has held since 2013. “These past two years as interim athletic director, Pete has done an incredible job balancing the responsibilities of leading both the athletic department and football,” said Dr. Mitzel. “Before making this appointment, I spoke personally with each coach. Pete has a wide base of support and I am confident he will continue to lead the athletics division forward in a positive manner.” Stanton earned a bachelor’s degree from DSU and a master’s degree from Montana State University. His experience as a student athlete, coach and administrator has prepared him for this role.
According to recent studies, over 65 percent of college students are interested in starting their own businesses or engaging in entrepreneurship. The ME program will provide a rigorous immersion into the nature of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process. Students will be encouraged, but not required, to start a venture while in the program. The master’s degree is designed for students with a variety of backgrounds who have a passion for entrepreneurship in for-profit, nonprofit or public sector contexts. The program can be completed entirely online in less than two years and the tuition cost is under $10,000. “We consider the School of Business and Entrepreneurship a destination point for entrepreneurs,” said Dr. Holly Gruhlke, chair of the School. “We are excited with the opportunities this program will bring for our students as well as our community.”
“Our athletic department looks forward to continuing to work with the dedicated coaches and student athletes at Dickinson State University,” said Stanton. “We are also eager to continue to build our relationships with the community, region, and all the Dickinson State alumni across the nation and globe. Our goal is to give our student athletes a tremendous experience as well as being very competitive at the conference and national levels in all sports.”
“CELEBRATE!” - AN EVENING TO REMEMBER By: Dr. Eric Grabowsky, associate professor of communication
The Dickinson State University Concert Band presented “CELEBRATE!” Thursday, April 11, in Beck Auditorium. The program celebrated events of local, regional, national, and international importance from the past century, including the Apollo moon landing and DSU’s centennial. The “Horizon Overture” began the evening, which was one of the first selections in the DSU music library. The DSU Concert Band performed in front of a large screen, on which was displayed historically relevant videos and images with the music. The concert was led by Dr. Lorraine Fader, assistant professor of music, who explained, “I tried to bring the historic events to life with visuals, and guest speaker, Karen Nelson, who portrayed Edith Roosevelt. Of course, the music tells a story too, and I was pleased that the band members’ self-discipline and practice culminated in a great performance.” Nelson’s portrayal of Mrs. Roosevelt complemented the performance of “The Golden Star March,” which was composed by John Philip Sousa in commemoration of the death of President Theodore Roosevelt. Iain Woessner, of The Dickinson Press, represented his newspaper and accepted a framed copy of the score, after the performance of “The Dickinson Press March,” which was composed by Kevin Kaisershot in honor of the newspaper. Both of Kaisershot’s parents attended DSU. Love of country and respect for veterans were major highlights of the evening. The audience was enjoyably engaged when listening to “Echoes From the Battlefield” and “America the Beautiful” to recall American achievements since the time of World War I. With the strong appreciation of veterans in the Dickinson area and at DSU, this was an appropriate idea to celebrate for all in attendance. The DSU Concert Band displayed relevant historical items outside of Beck Auditorium, including nursing garb from the 1950s, which was on loan from Dr. Cheryl Lantz, chair of the Department of Nursing. The nursing garb belonged to her mother, who was also a nurse. Attendees enjoyed treats and coffee as they perused the artifacts. The success of this musical event is certainly something to celebrate. The use of multimedia with the outstanding performance of music left the audience with a new perspective on history. The DSU Concert Band, which is housed in the Department of Fine and Performing Arts, executed their performance with pride in their work, making the presentation of “CELEBRATE!” an evening to remember.

Students can expect to take foundation coursework in entrepreneurship, accounting, finance, marketing and management, as well as complete electives of their choosing in topics such as public relations, technology and social entrepreneurship. Gruhlke said, “Students can expect to learn fundamentals of new venture creation and launch. In addition, students not seeking to start their own business, but who are interested in entrepreneurship, will learn how to make decisions within constraints that can impact the overall well-being of their organizations, a skill very much in demand at the executive level.” Dickinson State University is optimistic about what the addition of the ME to its business programs will bring to the Dickinson community. “The School of Business and Entrepreneurship has offered strong educational leadership to DSU students for years,” said Dickinson State President Dr. Thomas Mitzel. “The Master of Entrepreneurship is a natural extension of the School’s strength and what it can offer our students and community members. Partnering with the Small Business Development Center located on the DSU campus adds a tremendous working opportunity to the coursework, which will give graduates from this program a significant advantage as they venture into the business arena.” Applications for admission to the first online cohort of the School of Business and Entrepreneurship’s ME program are now being accepted.

DICKINSON STATE SENIOR RECEIVES NDSA OUTSTANDING OFFICER AWARD The North Dakota Student Association (NDSA) held its April General Assembly meeting at Minot State University April 26-27, 2019. At this meeting, student representatives of the 11 North Dakota University System (NDUS) institutions gathered to collaborate for their fellow students for the last time this academic year. In addition to their meeting, they held the 2018-2019 awards ceremony, which honored five elected award recipients and their work to enhance the organization’s efforts. Dickinson State University senior Sovi Herring, NDSA’s 2018-2019 Chief Administrator, received the 2018-2019 Outstanding Officer Award. The Outstanding Officer Award is given to an officer on the NDSA Executive Team that the General Assembly believes has gone above and beyond expectations in service to the NDSA and the students of North Dakota. Herring has served on the NDSA Executive Team for two years and has a perfect attendance record for NDSA meetings. She has contributed more than 120 service hours to NDSA initiatives, which includes deliverables such as the 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, Higher Education Social, NDSA meeting materials and minutes, as well as several presentations and mass-produced documentation to help more than 45,000 students to stay educated about higher education and potential issues facing their future. Her peers described her as passionate, outgoing and dedicated to representing the voice of the students through NDSA during the election process. Herring graduated in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications and a minor in psychology. She intends to stay at Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing in Dickinson, where she has served as an intern and recently accepted a position as a trainer, to stay local and help her community for as long as she is able. Her goal for student advocacy upon graduation is to aid the NDSA as a supplemental resource in whatever way needed to ensure the advancement of student issues, while also serving on the NDSA Alumni Association board of directors for the next year. She has valued the past two years of NDSA because of the enhancement of learning and leadership skills and will always treasure the lifelong memories she has made. Herring spoke at the April meeting. “Thank you to everyone who has made a commitment to your peers. This has been the most amazing experience I could have hoped for, and I will always hold NDSA close to my heart. I wish you all the best of luck in your futures, and hope to see you accomplish your goals and your dreams.”
