“Our graduates are known for their entrepreneurial spirit, their technical expertise and their ability to take on the most challenging problems and projects.

There are so many great things that happen at Dunwoody in a given year. Faculty and staff who focus on helping our students achieve their dreams, individual student success stories, community involvement, and a host of other activities in which we can all take pride. That is why reflecting on and summarizing a given year is so rewarding and writing only a few paragraphs about the past year’s accomplishments is so difficult. The 2016-2017 school year was paved by milestones and accomplishments. The most important one was that our Dunwoody community of faculty, staff, alumni and friends helped more than 400 students earn their degrees and find access to the immediate jobs and great careers a Dunwoody education makes possible.

Last fall was the launch year for engineering programs. Mechanical Engineering began in fall 2016 with 18 students. In the fall of 2017 Software Engineering launched with 14 students. Next fall we start Electrical Engineering. Today, we have nearly 50 students enrolled in our engineering programs, and we expect that number to increase quickly. Two years ago, Dunwoody launched the Women in Technical Careers initiative to break down gender barriers and help meet the need for more skilled workers. This past spring, the first class of WITC students earned their diplomas and are achieving their dreams in a wide range of well-playing careers. The program continues to draw more women to Dunwoody, increasing the overall percentage of female students pursuing technical degrees. In addition to the School of Engineering and WITC program, we grew the Youth Career Awareness Program, expanded our geographical reach, and increased the number of Bachelor of Science completion degrees available to graduates of two year programs. Together these strategic enrollment initiatives drove an overall enrollment increase of 17 percent. During a time when most colleges across the state have seen flat or declining enrollment – a 17 percent increase is a testament to the value of a Dunwoody education. At the same time, unprecedented support from donors allowed us to move forward with plans for a physical transformation of our campus – beginning with the renovation and repurposing of our old gymnasium into 24,000 square feet of usable space. This new space will include a new welcome center, admissions area, and gathering space on the first floor. The second floor will include a new student-focused learning commons, classrooms and other student spaces.

STAN WALDHAUSER

Over the past several years, we’ve been focused on our strategic plan. A plan that aims to grow enrollment, create a unique student experience, and increase visibility with a stronger brand and an enhanced facility. A major part of that plan is creating a School of Engineering.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

All of these accomplishments wouldn’t be possible without the support of our Dunwoody community. A community that believes in Dunwoody’s mission, the students we serve, and the lives we change. Our graduates are known for their entrepreneurial spirit, their technical expertise and their ability to take on the most challenging problems and projects. We are a college for people who bring their passion to Dunwoody and take their passion into the workforce to make a difference. I hope you share my pride in what our students are accomplishing and what you as a community make possible through your generous support of Dunwoody. For more than 100 years, Dunwoody has been delivering on its mission – to be a beacon of hope for students that see a Dunwoody education as their opportunity to achieve their dreams. Dreams that include meaningful work, access to the middle class, starting their own company, or building an industry. Your support makes dreams come true! Stay committed. Be proud. We are Dunwoody!

Rich Wagner, Ph.D. President, Dunwoody College of Technology

STRATEGIC INITIATIVE

Meeting the demand for a new kind of engineer In the fall of 2016, Dunwoody joined a handful of other colleges and universities in Minnesota that offer baccalaureate programs in engineering. Leveraging existing strengths in robotics, machine tool, and other disciplines, Dunwoody enrolled its first class of students in the Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. A Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering was launched in fall of 2017

and Electrical Engineering is enrolling for fall of 2018. Dunwoody’s new School of Engineering not only addresses a community and industry need, but will also produce engineers who are collaborators, problem-solvers and innovators. Engineers who can fuel business growth, spark job creation and spur economic growth.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVE

Growing enrollment through innovative programs Dunwoody College of Technology is focused on providing more students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to access great careers in high-demand technical fields. Initiatives such as the Women in Technical Careers (WITC) program, the Youth Career Awareness Program (YCAP) and outstate and out-of-state recruiting are not only increasing the pecentage of under-served students at Dunwoody, but also growing the College’s enrollment. WITC - The first graduating class Employers in advanced manufacturing, automotive service, construction, and information technology are desperate for workers with the skills to fill available jobs, yet only a fraction of people preparing for these

“The success of our first graduating class has proven the value of WITC and the impact it has on women and families. Through this program, we will continue to chip away at workforce disparities by graduating a new group of diverse, highly qualified professionals each year.” — Maggie Whitman, Women’s Enrollment Coordinator

jobs are women.

to a college education.

Through innovative programming and outreach, WITC is raising awareness and recruiting women into degree programs that are nontraditional for their gender, and supporting them in achieving college and career success. Last spring, the program celebrated its first graduating class.

The program empowers students, who may not otherwise be able attend college, to earn a degree. At the same time the program is diversifying the workforce and bridging the employment gap.

YCAP - 29 years of success Since its founding in 1988, YCAP has helped more than 2,000 under-represented students gain access

In addition to receiving tuition assistance, students also attend monthly workshops, such as interview skills and personal finances.

CAMPUS NEWS

Designed with movement: Corrugated as Art project takes First Place When Pre-Media Technologies student Kristin Warehime found out that the theme of this year’s AICC (The Independent Packaging Association) Corrugated as Art student competition was “Las Vegas,” she immediately thought of the Bellagio. “I wanted to figure out how to get some movement in there,” Warehime said. “I liked the idea of somehow moving the water in the hotel’s front fountains.” With this in mind, Warehime teamed up with Graphic Design students Brann Haugen and Kris Patterson to design and build a replica of the Bellagio Hotel made entirely out of corrugated cardboard – complete with its signature fountain. Their hard work recently paid off, earning them First Place, a $500 cash prize, and an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas to attend AICC’s Annual Meeting. Building the Bellagio Adding movement to the Hotel’s fountains wasn’t easy, but the team took on the challenge. Haugen invented a pull-tab mechanism that could rotate and shift the water on a set of gears, giving the piece a dynamic user-experience. “I had to adjust the size of the teeth on the gears multiple times,” Haugen said. “It was really a trial and error process. It wasn’t like anything I had done before, so it was a good learning experience.” In addition to designing and building the structure, the students had to submit an instruction manual and

essay, which contributed to their First Place prize. Traveling to the AICC Annual Meeting The team traveled to Vegas for AICC’s Annual Meeting at the end of September where they had the opportunity to network with professionals from the packaging industry. The students were paired up with seasoned structural design industry professionals in a multi-day design lab where they learned design and production tips and techniques. “The Annual Meeting is where the leaders in the industry gather,” said Pete Rivard, Assistant Professor, Pre-Media Technologies. “The networking is unbelievable.” The Dunwoody Difference “Our program has been evolving over the past decade toward an emphasis in packaging and retail in-store displays – which features heavy use of corrugated substrates – and reflects our geographical region’s expertise, career opportunities, and international standing in this market,” Rivard said. In their first year of study, students in the Design & Graphics Technology department are challenged to find innovative ways to use the state-of-the-industry software and equipment in the College’s print and packaging facilities, including ArtiosCAD. “This win continues to validate our decision to concentrate our curriculum on packaging design with an emphasis in materials exploration and aesthetics,” Rivard said.

Electrical Engineering degree will launch in fall 2018 Dunwoody College of Technology is expanding its School of Engineering by adding a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. The new degree offering adds to the pipeline of graduates Dunwoody looks to provide the state of Minnesota to help address the skills gap. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) predicts nearly 5,000 new mechanical, software, electrical, and civil engineering jobs will be available in the state by 2024. “We decided to add Electrical Engineering because of the industry demand,” President Rich Wagner said. “So many engineering projects require the expertise of an electrical engineer. We’re confident that our real world, project-focused approach to engineering education will produce electrical engineers who will provide immediate value to the companies they join and go on to help solve many of the issues facing the modern world.”

Dunwoody’s degree will incorporate the College’s lifelong values of experiential learning, problem-solving, teamwork, and professionalism. In particular, Electrical Engineering will stress systems engineering so that graduates are adept at interacting with those from different disciplines. This experience is important as sensors, controls, and power are integrated into nearly every technology currently in use. From wireless communication to electrical power, electrical engineers play an integral role in a variety of industries, including energy, construction, medical, telecommunications, transportation, and computing. Dunwoody is now accepting applications for the new degree program, which will start its first class in August 2018.

ALUMNI & FRIENDS Q&A

Brenda Sherrod

'92 Architectural Drafting & Estimating

Drafter Cross Architects

Q. Where is the weirdest place you have ever met a fellow alum?

Q. What would your classmates be surprised to know about you now?

A. I ran into some of my classmates at a Christmas party in the early 90s for a roof insulation firm and have one on my Facebook friend list. I moved to the Dallas, Texas area in 1995, so I haven’t had the opportunity to run into any.

A. I am married with three kids — 13, 11 and 11 (yes, twins) — and that I went into “retirement” for 11 years. I went back to work a year ago, and I love it!

Q. Has there been a moment in your career when you thought “My job is awesome!” and what was that moment?

A. My summer job of creating an as-built CAD file of the Dunwoody Campus. I had to begin with the original blueprints and then climb everywhere with a tape measure and sketch. When I had to print anything, I would send it to the pen plotter and leave for an hour. Plotters have come a long way in 25 years! It was an amazing summer.

A. The first time I was able to visit a site for a project I worked on. It was a retail strip center in San Antonio, Texas, and I could see where the contractor had followed my drawings and where he had deviated. It was so nice to be able to connect their work to mine.

Q. Where is the weirdest place you have ever met a fellow alum?

Q. What would your classmates be surprised to know about you now?

A. At my sister’s wedding in Montana. One of the bridesmaid’s dad’s brother went to Dunwoody in the ‘70s.

A. That I never left Dunwoody after graduating.

Q. Has there been a moment in your career when you thought “My job is awesome!” and what was that moment?

Shelly Fitterer '11 Graphic Design

Print Services Supervisor Dunwoody College of Technology

Q. What is your favorite memory of Dunwoody?

A. The most awesome part of my job is the creative aspect. I get to see designs “come to life.” Whether it’s my own design or not; it’s great seeing the physical printed piece.

Q. What is your favorite memory of Dunwoody? A. I would have to say the Intern Expo; it was the pinnacle of our student experience at Dunwoody. We were able to showcase our work to industry professionals and network.

2017 WILLIAM AND KATE DUNWOODY PHILANTHROPIST AWARD

Mark and Teresa Fleischhacker: Changing lives through education Mark and Teresa Fleischhacker’s commitment to education and their support of Dunwoody College of Technology has been instrumental in helping the College launch its School of Engineering. Mark and Teresa recently provided one of the lead capital investment gifts in support of the reconstruction and transformation of the Dunwoody campus. Since joining the Dunwoody College of Technology Board of Trustees in 2010, Mark has given generously of his time, his talents and his resources. Mark has served on numerous Board Committees and is the current Chair of the Institutional Advancement Committee. His leadership and guidance have been vital in helping Dunwoody reach its fundraising goals and make significant progress on the current capital campaign. Committed to Making a Difference As the former President and Chief Operating Officer of Lake Region Medical and current owner of Total Re-Coil, Mark has always valued integrity and a strong work ethic — traits he learned from his parents, who started Lake Region in 1947. Originally known as Lake Region Manufacturing Company, the business began as a small family business that operated as a contract machine shop. As the company progressed and focused more on medical device manufacturing, the business grew from a small operation to a large, international

company with more than 1,700 employees. Mark said the family has always been “technically” driven. “Every time a new challenge would come up that needed solving, we’d take it on,” Mark said. And those challenges didn’t just include machining a needed part; it also meant designing and building the actual machinery needed to make them. It was during his time as President and COO that Mark became connected with Dunwoody as a member of the Board of Trustees. But Mark’s tie to Dunwoody extends even further back — to Lake Region’s first employee, who was a Dunwoody graduate. Mark and Teresa are strong advocates for education and believe in Dunwoody’s model of hands-on, realworld learning. They also active members of their church and support a number of institutions with a focus on education and children. “Education gets people into the workforce,” Mark said. “They become self-sufficient and build self-pride and self-worth.” Their support is helping ensure Dunwoody graduates continue to enter the workforce ready to make a difference in their industries and their communities.

2017 WILLIAM AND KATE DUNWOODY PHILANTHROPIST AWARD

Gary and Barbara Petersen: A legacy of ‘yes’ For more than 25-years, Dunwoody College of Technology has been fortunate to have the support and dedication of Gary and Barbara Petersen. Their steadfast commitment to the mission and vision of Dunwoody has had an immeasurable impact on the students and communities we serve. Gary served on the Board of Trustees of Dunwoody College of Technology from October 1990 until October 2016. During that time, he served on many Board Committees as both a member and chair, including the chair for the Good to Great Capital Campaign. He also served as the Board’s Vice Chair from 2006 to 2008 and Board Chair from 2008 to 2010. Gary has been a significant leader in the College’s fundraising efforts and received the Institutional Advancement Award in 2000.

Minnegasco (now Centerpoint Energy) he was asked to join the Dunwoody Board of Trustees. In 1998, Gary retired as President and COO of Minnegasco and became an independent consultant. Even after his departure from the utility company, Gary remained a valued and active member of the Board. Gary’s background in public accounting, public utilities, strategic planning and senior management led to his involvement in developing the College’s formal program evaluation system, which is still used today. The commitment to Dunwoody remained over the years because he and Barbara believe in helping young people succeed in life.

A History of Giving Back Gary has always approached life with a “never say no” philosophy. It is a philosophy that guided his early years growing up on a farm in Iowa, his time at Iowa State University, and the many leadership roles he has held during his career.

In addition to his volunteer service to Dunwoody, Gary also served as a Board Member for the YMCA for more than 20 years, and he and Barbara remain active volunteers with their church.

It is also a philosophy that has encompassed his years of volunteer service and long history of giving back. “There is definitely a joy of giving,” Gary said.

When he looks ahead, Gary is excited about the direction and the future of Dunwoody. A future that the College knows would not be possible without the support and generosity of people like Gary and Barbara Petersen.

Gary’s long history with Dunwoody first began in 1990, when as Chief Operating Officer for

Steve Bryant ‘68 Electrical Construction & Maintenance Hard work has always been something that has defined Steve Bryant’s life. It was ingrained in him from an early age growing up in Maple Plain, Minnesota; reinforced during his education at Dunwoody; valued during his time in the Service; and a defining trait during his career. Raised by a single mother, Bryant went to work at his grandfather’s Texaco station before he was even old enough to drive. At age 12, he was cleaning up around the station and learning everything he could about the business. By 15, he was the one left in charge if his grandfather needed to leave for a few days.

nance degree in 1968, Bryant, a member of the Naval Air Force Reserves, spent the next six months as an aviation electrician on active duty in the Navy. With no union work in Minnesota available when he returned from the service, Bryant decided to move to California, where his father lived, to complete his apprenticeship. Four years later, he moved back to Minnesota to become a journeyman and was put to work as an electrician during the construction of Ridgedale Mall. But as a member of the California union, not the local Minnesota one, he was also the first one to get laid off from the job.

The hands-on learning would prove invaluable later in life, giving him an advantage that helped carry him through his first year at Dunwoody. The time in his grandfather’s service station also made it clear to him that owning a gas station wasn’t the career path he wanted for his life.

It was an experience that had him looking for other opportunities, and he soon found a job as an electrician for the Blandin Paper Company.

Instead, Bryant was interested in becoming an electrician, and he knew Dunwoody was the place he needed to go to make that dream a reality.

Bryant loved his time living and working in Grand Rapids. But he also realized that there wasn’t much room for advancement, so three and half years later, Bryant was hired by West Publishing in St. Paul. He had also gotten his Master Electrician’s License, and took over as Electrical Supervisor for the company.

“I had always heard everyone talk about Dunwoody,” Bryant said. “From relatives to friends, there was just an abundance of people who had gone there. And quite a few of the guys worked as electricians.” It was 1966 when Bryant enrolled at Dunwoody, and his first year was difficult. “The other students were predominately men returning from the service, many of whom had worked as electricians in the military. I was way behind the learning curve,” Bryant said. The turning point came in the form of a general subjects instructor by the name of Jim Swanson. “One day he pulled me aside after class and told me, ‘You’re smart enough, but also a smart ass,’ and that I needed to take advantage of this opportunity,” Bryant recalls fondly. “He told me that if I did apply myself, it would open up doors in the future that I couldn’t see in the present.” It was a moment in his life Bryant will never forget, and it changed the direction of his future. “From that moment on, I really started applying myself,” he said. “I enjoyed the hands-on aspect of my Dunwoody education. It was the best way to learn.” After graduating with his Electrical Construction & Mainte-

Shortly after he started, West Publishing made the decision to relocate its operations from St. Paul to property it had acquired in Eagan, Minnesota. It was a decision that launched Bryant on a 20-year journey that would propel his career from Electrical Supervisor to Manager of Engineering and Facilities and a Vice President role. As Manager of Engineering and Facilities, Bryant was responsible for a diverse staff of more than 300 people who performed all tasks necessary to support production operations and facility infrastructure. The job was all-consuming, to the point that West actually built a house for Bryant and his family to live in on the Eagan campus. It was also a great learning opportunity for Bryant’s next phase of his career. In his role with the company, Bryant was placed in charge of permitting and platting for the site and its facilities. It was experience that served him well when he also decided to move on from his position and begin his next career in real estate development. “Dunwoody gave me the level of confidence to do much more than I ever thought I could,” Bryant said. So Bryant soon formed his own real estate development company, Bryant Properties Incorporated. For his first big project, Bryant bought, renovated and sold a vacant psychiatric

hospital in Prescott, Wisconsin, which was transformed into an assisted living facility. From there he worked with partners to buy and develop commercial and residential real estate. He also became a co-owner of Anderson Electric, an electrical contracting company located in St. Paul now doing business as NEI Electric. Always looking for a smarter, more cost effective way of doing business, Bryant even turned a section of the 70-acres he and his wife Lynette now live on into a tree farm, so he could then transplant the trees to his developments. When the housing market crashed in the early 2000s, Bryant bought out his partners and became the sole owner of a large residential development that he decided to hold on to until the time was right. Bryant handled the maintenance of the property himself, regularly going to the site to perform necessary landscaping tasks. When the market rebounded, Bryant sold off all of the lots to a single developer. By this time, Bryant was ready to retire and began selling off and dissolving his companies. Bryant officially retired three years ago. His full-time job now? Taking care of the 70-acres he and Lynette live on in Amery, Wisconsin. He also spends a great deal of time training his Boykin Spaniel to participate in various hunt tests. His three children and six grandchildren come to visit and enjoy the many activities the property provides. Looking back, Bryant says he owes a lot to his Dunwoody education, which is why he donates regularly to the College and has chosen to include Dunwoody in his estate planning. “I feel very fortunate. That’s why Dunwoody was so important when I was doing my estate planning,” Bryant said. “Dunwoody was the springboard for my success and allowed me take advantage of all of the opportunities I was given.” Opportunities that an old Dunwoody instructor once told him would be waiting for him.
