AUGUSTANA ADMINISTRATION

]

ROB OLIVER

[ PRESIDENT ]

When the Board of Trustees announced its decision to hire Robert C. Oliver as Augustana's 23rd president, the campus and Sioux Falls communities' response was predictably and overwhelmingly positive. Oliver was no stranger to either community, and his leadership and passion for life and learning are hallmarks of his career.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Oliver attended public schools and entered the University of South Dakota in 1971. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in Economics in 1975 and, while employed by Norwest Bank in Rapid City, began coursework to receive his MBA in 1977. As Norwest Bank completed its transition of becoming Wells Fargo & Co., Oliver continued his progression through a variety of positions with the firm. He has experience as a Personal Banker and Commercial Banker and became manager of the Business Banking Department in Sioux Falls. In 1987, he was named President of the Sioux Falls Market banks. He expanded the operations of the then Norwest Bank franchise in Sioux Falls to include 16 locations. In 1999, he was named Southeast District President, responsible for 27 banking locations in 13 communities in southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.

Oliver's "free time" during his years at the bank included coursework at The Stonier Graduate School of Banking. He taught classes for the University of South Dakota School of Business, both in its undergraduate and MBA programs in Sioux Falls. He also taught for the American Institute of Banking and the Institute for Financial Education.

Believing that service to one's community is as important as one's career, Oliver became well-known throughout the area as a model board member and volunteer. His area involvement has included the Avera McKennan Hospital Board of Trustees (Chair); Augustana Board of Regents (former Chair); member of the Board of Directors of Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota; board of Communication Services for the Deaf; past chair of the Sioux Empire United Way Board; and board member of Volunteers of America. In addition, Oliver has served Forward Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls Development Foundation, Main Street Sioux Falls, YMCA, Threshold Youth Services, the Civic Fine Arts Center and the Sioux Empire Red Cross. Rob is a member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Following Oliver’s passion and interest for higher education, he retired from banking in 2004 and joined the Augustana faculty as an associate professor and chair of the Department of Business Administration. While his tenure within the department was brief, his dedication to students and excellence in the classroom were soon well-known. Oliver and his wife, Angela, are the parents of two daughters, Laura and Andrea Cammilleri.

Augustana begins 2010 campaign with new head coach, quarterback

by Bruce Conley, Sports Information Assistant

Augustana enters the 2010 football season with a new head coach, a young quarterback and high expectations.

Mike Aldrich is beginning his first term at the Viking helm, but he has previously experienced the demands of a head coach. Josh Hanson (Watertown, S.D.) saw limited action at quarterback last fall but ascended to the starter’s role based on a solid showing in spring drills. He appeared in just five games in 2009 before a knee injury ended his season. A scrambler with a strong arm, Hanson doubles as a kicker.

Aldrich was the Vikings’ defensive coordinator the past four years. From 2000-2002, he was the head coach of the Sioux Falls Storm of the National Indoor Football League and served as the team’s defensive coordinator from 2005-2009. In 2006, the scheme he designed was the No. 1 scoring defense in the NIFL.

Augustana has posted back-to back eight-win seasons, and all indicators point to another successful campaign in 2010. Offensively, the Vikings return their top three rushers in Joe Clark (Rochester, Minn), Nate Mahone (Brandon, S.D.), and Adam Diamond (Lakeville, Minn.). Clark finished the 2009 season with 1,020 yards, and Mahone had 418. Both averaged 5 yards a carry. Clark is just 535 yards away from becoming Augustana’s all-time leading rusher.

Josh Hanson

Versatile Tyler Schulte (Sioux Falls) leads a talented and deep corps of receivers. He had 44 catches in 2009 for 641 yards and seven touchdowns. Sam Holsen (Sioux Falls) debuted at wide out a year ago and caught 13 touchdown passes and led all receivers with 904 yards, despite missing three games with an injury. Clark was third in receptions with 31. Schulte also has experience at quarterback, where his speed and arm keep defenses guessing. A year ago he rushed for 137 yards and passed for 127.

Clark and Schulte were picked to the 2009 All-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference South Division team, while Holsen was a second team pick. Returning offensive lineman Tyler Ly n c h (Sioux Falls) was an honorable mention choice. The offensive line remains intact with the exception of left tackle Clint Berentschot.

Sam Holsen

Augustana was fifth in the NSIC a year ago in pass offense, averaging 241 yards a game, and fifth in rushing offense with 178 yards a game.

Defensively, returning linebackers Chris Janisch (Sioux Falls) and Andrew Keel (Winter Springs, Fla.) were the top two in tackles a year ago. Janisch set the pace with 94 stops, while Keel was the leader in solo tackles with 40. And defensive lineman Eric Bergman (Clear Lake, Minn), a preseason All-America honorable mention choice, led the team in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (6.5). Janisch, Keel and Bergman were all honorable mention choices to the 2009 All-NSIC South Division team. Defensive back Nick Andreas (Lakeville, Minn.) and defensive lineman Brady MacIver (Anoka, Minn.) were second team selections. Andreas and defensive back Zac Kallas (Eden Prairie, Minn.) each intercepted four passes a year ago.

Last fall, the Vikings were third in the NSIC in rushing defense, yielding 107 yards a game. They were 13th in pass defense, giving up 248 yards per game.

MIKE ALDRICH

[ HEAD COACH ]

FIRST SEASON

Mike Aldrich enters his first season as head football coach at Augustana in 2010, having been named to the position Feb. 19, 2010. Aldrich becomes the 21st coach in Augustana’s 87-year football history. Prior to being appointed to his current position, Aldrich spent four seasons as the Vikings’ defensive coordinator after serving as assistant defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator the previous two seasons.

Aldrich, who is in his second stint on the Viking coaching staff, returned to Augustana in 2004 as the team's assistant defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator and secondary coach. He spent the 2003 season as the defensive graduate assistant at the University of Louisville after serving a two-year stint as the secondary coach and assistant special teams coordinator at Augustana. Under Aldrich’s guidance, the Vikings special teams developed a knack for blocking kicks. In 2004, Augustana blocked eight kicks, and in 2005, the Vikings blocked nine kicks. During his first stint at Augustana, Aldrich was the driving force behind one of the top secondaries in the Division II ranks. Producing five all-conference honorees and one all-America during his tenure, the Aldrich-coached Viking secondary ranked among the nation’s top 10 for interceptions and was anchored by the league leader in interceptions in each of his two seasons at Augustana.

In addition to his duties at Augustana, Aldrich served as the head coach and defensive coordinator for the Sioux Falls Storm of the National Indoor Football League from 2000 to 2002. Aldrich’s impact was immediately felt in the NIFL as the Storm’s defense quickly developed into one of the toughest units in the league. He returned to the Storm bench midway through the 2005 season as the team’s defensive coordinator, a position held through the 2009 season. During his final four seasons, the Storm won four straight United Indoor Football (UIF) championships and recorded a professional sports record 40-straight wins. In 2006, the Storm featured the No. 1 scoring defense in the UIF. Aldrich also served as the special teams coordinator and linebacker coach for California Lutheran University in 2000 after serving as the assistant defensive line coach at the College of the Sequoias in 1999.

A native of Burnsville, Minn., Aldrich started in the coaching ranks at his alma mater, St. Olaf College, where he served as the defensive line coach in 1995, the tight ends coach and assistant offensive coordinator in 1996, and the linebackers coach during the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

A four-year letterwinner at St. Olaf, Aldrich served as special teams captain during his junior and senior seasons. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics and social studies education from St. Olaf in 1995. He also earned a master’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Minnesota in 1999. Presently, Aldrich is working on a doctorate degree in sports management from the University of Louisville. Aldrich and his wife, Kristen, live in Sioux Falls. They have a daughter, Makenna, and son, Joseph. 8 | AUGUSTANA FOOTBALL

In 2003, he was promoted to defensive coordinator and coached linebackers. During his five years at USD, Chambers provided strength and conditioning to five players who went on to play in the NFL. Prior to USD, Chambers spent the 1998 season as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa. There he worked with the defensive ends. He began his coaching career in 1997 as the defensive line coach at Iowa Wesleyan College. Chambers, a native of Treynor, Iowa, was a three-year letterwinner and started 14 games at Iowa from 1992 to 1996. During his career, the Hawkeyes won the 1995 Sun Bowl and the 1996 Alamo Bowl. Chambers graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health management from Iowa in 1996. He completed a master’s degree in exercise science at South Dakota in 2001. Chambers and wife Amber live in Sioux Falls. They have a son, Creighton.

BOB HALL

[ EQUIPMENT MANAGER ]

Bob Hall serves as the football equipment manager for Augustana, though his contributions to the Viking family reach far behind those duties. Hall and his wife Kari have supported the program in many other ways. In the fall of 2007, the Halls donated $6.1 million for the construction of the new on-campus football stadium. The facility was named Kirkeby-Over Stadium in honor of Kari’s parents.

In recent years, the Halls purchased a trailer to transport equipment for road games, new uniforms and weight training equipment for the team.

In April 2006, the Halls donated $1 million for a new football locker room and training facility. The facility is part of the Hall Football Complex and Sanford Gymnasium. The complex is named in honor of Bob and Kari Hall and Bob's father and mother, the late Bill and Irene Hall.

For their generous support of Viking football, the Halls received the 2004 Milt and Clara Harvey Award, which is presented annually to an individual in recognition of their financial support of athletics at Augustana.

NSIC INFORMATION

]

From its modest origin as a six-team alliance nearly eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured into a 14-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affiliation in NCAA Division II. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today.

Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (NE) in 1998, Concordia UniversitySt. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, and Augustana College, in 2008. Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth later left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well.

In 1992, the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference and the Northern Sun Conference, the home of women’s athletics since 1979.

Before NSIC affiliates became certified for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995, its member institutions filled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualified student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individual championships.

The NSIC celebrates its 79th season this year and clearly continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning seven national titles in the last five years. Winona State men claimed NCAA II Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victories.

Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of three consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season opening loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 finish, a third straight national crown and a current winning streak of 74 straight matches.

In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarships by league rule, swept a field of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Minnesota State added more luster to the league by finishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory over Franklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game. Since 2000, the NSIC has also participated in Mineral Water Bowl. Hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs, Mo., the Mineral Water Bowl matches the highest-finishing teams from the NSIC and the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not selected for the NCAA Division II football playoffs. Winona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, the Warriors, first-ever NCAA II post-season win in 2000.

In addition, NSIC student-athletes have made a major splash nationally as well, collecting a batch of individual titles. Concordia setter Maggie McNamara was honored as the NCAA Division II Hondo Women’s Athlete of the Year, the latest NSIC representative decorated with national Player of the Year honors. The NSIC has long provided competitive intercollegiate athletic programs for its members and several NSIC athletes have distinguished themselves on a larger stage, including the Olympics, major league baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association.

Member schools continue to emphasize the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. The NSIC is committed to providing rewarding experiences for its student-athletes, and while the challenges that loom are sizable, indeed, the NSIC is surely well positioned for the future.

[ KIRKEBY-OVER STADIUM ]

President Rob Oliver announced in October 2007 that construction of KirkebyOver Stadium would begin soon on the site of the Vikings’ practice field at 37th Street and Lake Avenue. Through the generosity of Kari and Bob Hall, that dream has come to fruition and given the Vikings the on-campus facility has been missing for half a century. It was the Halls who were responsible for bringing football back to campus at Augustana. The Halls donated $6.1 million towards the construction of KirkebyOver Stadium. Kirkeby-Over Stadium honors the memory of Kari Hall’s father and mother, Percy Kirkeby and Elizabeth Markley Kirkeby Over. Percy Kirkeby graduated from Augustana in 1947. He was a veteran of World War II having served with the Army Air Corps in Italy. An English major, he was a Rhodes Scholarship candidate, active in debate and speech, and was the editor of the Mirror, Augustana’s student newspaper. He was killed in a plane crash in 1951. Elizabeth Markley majored in sociology at Augustana and graduated in 1944. She was president of the Athenian Society and was a member of the Augie debate squad. She died in 1994.

Kari Hall majored in sociology at Augustana and graduated in 1969. Bob Hall attended Augustana and is currently the equipment manager for the football program.

Kirkeby-Over Stadium was designed by TKDA, a specialty architecture and engineering firm in the Twin Cities. The Winkels Group in Sioux Falls managed the project. The facility features a FieldTurf surface in a bowl like venue with seating for approximately 6,500, including 2,200 chairback seats. Fans are also able to watch the action from berms in the end zones. Luxurious suites, a spacious press box and private media booths anchor the west sideline of the stadium. The facility also boasts high definition television monitors in each suite and plenty of connection options for use by media.

FOOTBALL FACILITIES

]

The Hall Football Complex and Sanford Gymnasium opened in November of 2007. The 28,000 square-foot, two-level building is attached to the south side of the Elmen Center.

The addition has improved facilities for the student-athletes and coaches who are part of the Augustana football program and provides much-needed indoor practice facilities for all 18 Viking teams. The first floor of the facility houses the Hall Football Complex. Included are a locker room with 100 lockers, a large weight room, meeting rooms, offices, training room and many other amenities. Two regulation-size college wood basketball courts are on the second floor in the Sanford Gym. The gym features a state-of-the-art playing surface, curtains that can separate the courts and baskets that can be lowered under 10 feet for use with youth camps.

Until the Sanford Gym was constructed, the Elmen Center Hall Sports Forum was the only indoor area available for practice, intramurals and gym recreation functions. Completed in 1989, the Elmen Center measured 84,000 square-feet. In 2003, through the Elmen Center Enhancement Project, 8,000 squarefeet were added to the structure. With the completion of the Hall Football Complex and Sanford Gym addition, the building span is now more than 120,000 square-feet.

Approximately 24 percent of Augustana students are involved in music ensembles, theatre products and art exhibitions. In January 2011, the Augustana Band will tour Egypt and next spring, the Augustana Choir will tour throughout Scandinavia. Wellattended exhibitions featuring professional and student artists are held each year in the new Eide/Dalrymple Gallery. The Theatre Department produces main stage shows each year, including a musical and Vikings Varieties, Augustana’s live homecoming entertainment. In addition, Augustana is proud to partner with the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra to bring national and international string players to Sioux Falls through the Augustana String Quartet. The Outlook for Graduates Some 25 percent of Augustana’s graduating class attends graduate and professional school and Augustana graduates have a 90 percent medical school acceptance rate, twice the national average. In 2009, 93 percent of graduating seniors seeking employment found positions related to their field of study within eight months of graduation. Prominent Guests Through the Boe Forum on Public Affairs sponsored by the Center for Western Studies, Augustana has hosted a number of world leaders since 1995, including: • Gen.
