Husky Athletics: stcloudstate.edu/athletics SCSU is an affirmative action/equal opportunity educator and employer. SCSU values diversity of all kinds, including but not limited to race, religion and ethnicity (full statement at bulletin.StCloudState.edu/ugb/ generalinfo/nondiscrimination.html).

From the President And there’s more to come, as you will see in the pages of this issue of Outlook. A block south of Division on Fifth Avenue the elegant Fifth Avenue Live complex is rising out of the ground and taking shape to hold retail shops, a St. Cloud State Welcome Center and spacious and secure new furnished apartments for our students. The innovative project is an exciting, highly visible sign of these decidedly new times, as is the planned expansion of the National Hockey Center into a National Event and Hockey Center on the south end of campus.

We’ve been building on campus as well. This fall we reopened a beautifully renovated Riverview – the university’s only building on the National Register of Historic Places – as a new home for the communication studies department. The extensive, high-tech renovations being made to Brown Hall will be completed this spring to offer expanded facilities for our growing nursing program. And plans are in the works for a $42 million integrated science and engineering laboratory facility – or ISELF – that will make our campus a statewide leader in science education.

Our vision includes improving and expanding our academic and service programs for students as well, building on our common goals to enhance our university’s unique identity: • Accessibility that leads to success • Character that reflects our region • Education that drives knowledge into action, and • A portfolio of distinctive programs The most important beneficiaries of all these plans and projects are, of course, our students. They give life to our vision and inspire us to be collaborative and creative as we continue cultivating a campus that is expert in building community and teaching by example the value of making a difference.

Giving life to a collective vision As we consider all the promise and possibilities this new decade holds for the St. Cloud State community, I feel tremendous optimism. One of the great thrills of leading a university is being encouraged to think big – to formulate a vision, then work with a cast of thousands to bring it to life.

While we are acutely aware of economic challenges that continue to affect our budget and our decision-making process, one priority trumps all others – giving our students the outstanding, well-rounded education they need to succeed. We must continue to move forward with bold, innovative plans to grow and improve our programs and our environment – for their sake. Each one of our 17,700 students came to us with a unique set of hopes and dreams, and it’s important that we create the opportunities that will help them attain their goals.

We’re fortunate to have a leadership team and 1,300 faculty and staff working together to achieve our overarching goal of making St. Cloud State the finest university of its kind in the Midwest, recognized by our peers as a leader in our region. A significant part of our strategy to realize this vision has been to alter the way the community perceives our University and its impact – to help our neighbors recognize that we are a cultural, economic and educational force in and for Central Minnesota.

By strengthening our community partnerships and implementing a “St. Cloud Proud” university marketing plan, there’s been an unmistakable physical and philosophical new day in the relationship between campus and community.

“Welcome back students” signs in the windows of local businesses are the result of a St. Cloud State-driven plan to get community members to visibly recognize the value our students have to the local economy, and new banners on the approaches to campus symbolize our new “university town” attitude.

For the past year red St. Cloud State banners have lined the University Drive Bridge and walkways around and through campus. Now, in conjunction with the opening of the new Granite City Crossing Bridge on Division Street, black city and university banners alternately flank portions of Division Street from the bridge to Seventh Avenue, heralding an unprecedented spirit of pride and unity among campus, city and neighborhood constituencies.

Leaders, then and now Robert O. Bess Interim President 1992-95 Former colleagues and friends of Robert O. Bess paid tribute at a memorial service Aug. 26 in the Ritsche Auditorium lobby.

He died this past July in Sacramento at age 74.

During his tenure, Bess built significant partnerships on campus and in the community, earning a reputation as a fair and involved president. He was dedicated to providing equal opportunity and enriching experiences for students. The University established the American Indian Center and signed an agreement with members of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan ending their 1995 Hunger Strike. The partnerships student organizations have developed with administrators date back to that agreement.

Perhaps Bess’s most enduring legacy is opportunities for international education, particularly in exchanges with colleges in South Africa. He launched a program in 1995 and after retirement served as consultant for the South Africa Initiative of St. Cloud State University and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

The Robert O. Bess Fellowship was established through the SCSU Foundation to recognize his accomplishments and to help make the dream of giving greater numbers of multicultural students the chance to visit South Africa.

George F. Budd President 1952-65 When George Budd left St. Cloud State College in 1965 to become president of Pittsburg State University in Kansas, he described the momentous changes that had taken place during his 13-year presidency: “Things were quiet and comfortable for a few years. Then World War II babies got to be of college age and things began to pop. The campus was no longer quiet. But it was exciting and challenging ….”

During those years, St. Cloud State enrollment jumped from 1,200 to 5,200 students a year. Three new residence halls were built and Garvey Commons opened. Kiehle Visual Arts Center, Whitney House, Engineering and Computing Center, and Brown, Headley and Halenbeck halls were added to serve the growing campus population.

In 1954 St. Cloud State’s first graduate program, a master of science in education program, was listed in the course catalog.

In 1962, instructional divisions were replaced with the School of Education, School of Business and Industrial Arts and School of Literature and Arts. Laying the groundwork for international studies, Budd participated in study visits to five European countries in 1959 and lead a U.S. Department of States Higher Education Study Team to India in 1963.

Budd, who died at age 93 this past winter, is remembered as the white hat-clad president who led homecoming parades on the horse he boarded on campus grounds.

DeVriese leading Fine Arts & Humanities Todd DeVriese, experienced professor, administrator and practitioner of fine art, became dean of St. Cloud State’s College of Fine Arts and Humanities in July.

DeVriese had been director of the School of Art and professor of art at Texas Tech University, Lubbock. Previously he had been an associate professor of art at The Ohio State University and interim dean for the Arts and Sciences and a department chair at Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates. His artwork, particularly in printmaking, has been exhibited nationally and internationally. He earned a bachelor in fine arts and a master’s degree in science from Illinois State University and a master’s degree in fine arts from The Ohio State University.

As dean, he is responsible for the recruitment, development and evaluation of faculty and staff and undergraduate and graduate programs in more than 20 disciplines within departments of Music; Theater, Film Studies and Dance; English; Foreign Languages and Literature; Philosophy; Communication Disorders; Communication Studies and Mass Communication.

DeVriese replaced Professor Sharon Cogdill, who served as interim dean of the college for a year before rejoining the English faculty.

Palm named interim dean for Education Glen Palm, professor and three-time chair in the Department of Child and Family Studies, as well as a noted expert in the field of parent education, was named interim dean of the College of Education in July.

Palm, who joined his department in 1983 as an assistant professor, initiated the college’s Parent Education licensure program two years later. He has provided parent education services for St. Cloud School District 742 and District 47 since 1984, including Saturday morning programming for fathers and their young children. He also has led parenting classes in the St. Cloud Correctional facility since 1995 and been involved with the Greater St. Cloud Area Thrive Initiative, an infant mental health collaborative project with District 47 Early Childhood Family Education Program.

Alumnus helping steady the economy

James Bullard ’84 told a packed Atwood Theatre audience Oct. 9 that financial institutions deemed “too big to fail” must be regulated to avoid financial crises.

Bullard was appointed president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in March 2008. Six months later the nation’s financial systems began to melt down.

His 35-minute presentation included, among other things, a plea for financial reform such as regulation of systemic risk, a mechanism for shutting down failing financial firms and systems for global cooperation.

“If you just let the large financial firms fail, as we learned last fall, panic ensues,” said Bullard. “These firms are not necessarily banks. One of the big issues in this financial crisis has been the rise of the shadow banking system, largely unregulated and much less regulated than your ordinary corner bank.”

Bullard, who serves on the Federal Reserve’s powerful Open Market Committee, suggested that the Federal Reserve is best suited to play a lead role in managing new financial regulatory systems. “Our reform efforts have to focus on getting this completely intolerable situation under control,” he said.

Bullard’s accomplishments as an economist and central banker were honored at the Oct. 9 Alumni Association Awards when he received the G.R. Herberger College of Business Leadership Award.

Bullard lives in the St. Louis area with his wife Jane Callahan ’83 who is the public policy director for Parents as Teachers National Center. The couple has two daughters.

Bush Foundation grant targets teacher effectiveness

Regulatory affairs graduates first class Twelve graduates were honored as St. Cloud State celebrated the first graduation in its master’s degree in regulatory affairs and services program at the University’s new Twin Cities Graduate Center in Maple Grove. The first program in the nation to focus specifically on preparing students for the medical device industry began in September 2007 with members of the first cohort attending evening and weekend classes at North Hennepin Community College, Brooklyn Park.

A second cohort of 19 students started classes in fall of 2008, and the third cohort is attending classes this fall at the Maple Grove Center. Graduates are educated to lead medical device companies through the Food and Drug Administration and international regulatory processes that ensure new medical devices are safe and effective. “The RAS professional’s role is critical in the development, commercialization and manufacturing of medical device business from research and development to marketing and sales,” said Charles Swanson, the program’s director. See related story on page 20.

St. Cloud State is among 14 universities and colleges in Minnesota and the Dakotas chosen to take part in a $40 million Bush Foundation partnership focused on increasing teacher effectiveness. The Foundation awarded St. Cloud State $125,000 last summer to participate in the planning stage of its Teacher Preparation and Effectiveness Initiative and announced in December that as much as $4.5 million more will go to St. Cloud State if certain milestones are achieved through 2017. The Foundation expects participating institutions to produce at least 25,000 new, effective teachers in the next 10 years, to increase by 50 percent the number of students on track to earn a degree after high school and to eliminate any disparities among diverse student groups.

“St. Cloud State’s research-based innovation in teacher preparation has been recognized widely while our recent co-teaching approach to teacher development is becoming a national model,” said President Earl H. Potter III. “But new challenges are reshaping the needs that we have to meet, and one institution cannot tackle this challenge alone. We are excited to be part of this groundbreaking partnership.”

Campus co-directors are Kathy Ofstedal, assistant professor of Child and Family Studies, and Rebecca Krystyniak, associate professor of chemistry.

University news Spinning our social web St. Cloud State is communicating, cooperating and celebrating the Web 2.0 way.

The university’s flagship social Web presence – http://facebook.com/stcloudstate – has more than 5,200 fans, thanks to daily content infusions, including news, photos and videos.

“Our social Web sites build a sense of community in ways our stcloudstate.edu site can’t,” said Loren Boone, assistant vice president for marketing and communication. “Our Facebook site is an ongoing conversation with prospective students, current students, employees, the community and alumni.”

Unique content has been one of the keys to building the Facebook site, according to Jeff Wood ’81 ’87 ’93, director of Web communications.

“From the start we said the Facebook site would not be a rehash of our traditional Web site,” said Wood. “So, we debut content on Facebook and sometimes publish exclusively to Facebook.”

Case in point: The University’s new banners along Fifth Avenue and Minnesota Highway 23 are highlighted in two Facebook photo albums. One of the photos shows the Wells Fargo building in downtown St. Cloud. In the foreground, hanging from a street light, is a red banner with a St. Cloud State logo. Also in the foreground is a St. Cloud PROUD billboard celebrating Sven Sundgaard ’03, a television meteorologist in the Twin Cities.

“That posting prompted a student to comment that she is joining the meteorology program at St. Cloud State. We responded with a note of congratulations. And, bam, just like that, we have a low-cost, high impact interaction with a student,” Wood said.

YouTube has given St. Cloud State a fast, easy-to-use platform for sharing video, according to Josh Fleming, graduate assistant for social media.

“Type St. Cloud State into the YouTube search field and you’ll see this amazing mix of Husky hockey, Greek life, study abroad, academic programs, St. Cloud State bands – you name it,” said Fleming.

The Music Department is a leading social Web user with robust presences on YouTube and Facebook. In addition, its traditional Web site uses Social Web tools such as a blog/news Facebook feed and an embedded YouTube video facebook.com/stcloudstate player. The youtube.com/scsumusic facebook.com/scsuathletics and youtube.com/scsuband sites have video clips of ensemble performances, Twitter recitals, master classes and more. One twitter.com/stcloudstate master class video has drawn more twitter.com/scsuhuskies than 64,000 views.

Husky Athletics has also YouTube “tweeted” by using Twitter to youtube.com/stcloudstatehusky update fans during athletic events. youtube.com/scsumusic

St. Cloud State recognized for service to student veterans G.I. Jobs magazine has designated St. Cloud State a “military friendly school.” The publication’s Military Friendly List honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools which are doing the most to embrace U.S. veterans as students. The recognition is the result of a survey of 7,000 institutions regarding their efforts to recruit and support veterans, including on-campus programs and academic credits for service.

St. Cloud State has the largest student veteran population – more than 525 – among the 32 schools in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.

Golden Key chartered Golden Key International Honor Society, a global nonprofit organization that provides academic recognition to topperforming students, was chartered in April at St. Cloud State. Through its 370 chapters at colleges and universities in the United States, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa, the organization has a mission of preparing students to discover and achieve their potential and to succeed in all aspects of life, making a positive difference along the way. Besides honoring students in the top 15 percent of their class, the society provides leadership, community service, career networking and scholarship opportunities.

Student media win national awards

Acclaimed Russian poet visits campus

• Husky Productions skated off with a first-place win for “Best Live Game or Live Event” during the first Global Media Awards for College Sports. The award was for the broadcast of the Wisconsin vs. St. Cloud State contest on Nov. 11, 2008, and celebrates excellence across the spectrum of college sports video production, including work by colleges and universities, national and regional sports networks and technology innovators. A panel of judges selected five Husky Production entries for nomination. Other nominees included ESPN, CBS Sports, Ball State University, Baylor University, Ohio State and the University of Miami, Fla. Brian Stanley ’93, White Bear Lake, Robert Hudson ’03, Minneapolis, and Derrick Silvestri ’06, Chisholm, were part of the Husky production team.

• UTVS wins another regional Emmy. AV FUZZ, an extreme sports and music videos show produced at St. Cloud State’s television station UTVS, took first place for best college non-news production at the Midwest Regional Emmy Awards in September. Bruce Meyers, Prior Lake, and Jon Otte, St. Cloud, accepted the award. Eight to 10 episodes of student-produced AV FUZZ are produced each semester. “It was a bit of a change having to be in the spotlight for once,” Otte said. “Usually we are the ones asking the questions.”

Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko came to campus Nov. 5 to share his thoughts on “Poetry and Global Humanity.” Along with several St. Cloud State professors, Yevtushenko gave readings of his award-winning poetry. In 1960 he was the first Russian to break through the Iron Curtain and recite his poetry in the West. In 1961 he published what possibly was his most famous poem, “Babi Yar” in which he denounced anti-Semitism. Featured on the cover of Time magazine in 1961 under the title, “Russia’s new generation,” he later served in the first freely elected Russian parliament from 1988-99. He was the first non-American to receive the Walt Whitman Poet in Residence award and in 1991 received what is considered the highest honor of the American Jewish Committee, the American Liberties Medallion, for “exceptional advancement of the principles of human liberty.”

College of Education launches second doctoral program St. Cloud State’s second doctoral program is underway with a cohort of 16 professional educators working toward their doctorate in educational administration and leadership. Participating students were competitively selected for this program, designed to enhance the administrative and leadership skills of practicing leaders in education. “The doctorate provides a practical, rigorous and meaningful advanced program of study to meet the demands associated with the leadership of schools and districts operating in today’s dynamic political, social, cultural and economic arenas,” program coordinator Kay Worner said. The college introduced the higher education administration doctoral program in fall of 2007.

Farmers market exceeds expectations On five autumn Mondays the Atwood Mall came alive with vendors selling an array of locally grown vegetables, fruits, eggs and other fresh foods, along with homemade and home-canned goods to campus patrons. The Atwood Memorial Center Community Farmers Market was a celebration of initiative, sustainability and community spirit. Atwood staff planned and organized the University’s first foray into the farmers market concept of inviting local growers and producers to sell their items in the open air. University faculty and staff from the St. Cloud State Community Garden sold their products alongside other area growers.

Delta Sigma Pi chapter honored St. Cloud State’s Theta Tau Chapter, Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity, continued its outstanding record of service this year, receiving provincial and regional awards in August at the Grand Chapter Congress national event in Washington D.C. for exemplary commitment to the professional character of the chapter and for the development of its individual members. Both awards lauded the chapter’s outstanding professional activities and specifically recognized its organization of events such as tours of Twin Cities businesses and speakers such as Patrick Klinger, vice president of marketing for the Minnesota Twins.

Leaving a legacy

If our legacy defines how we have impacted the things and people around us, Ed Bouffard will be remembered for lightening the carbon footprint left by this university.

Bouffard, who was a leader in conservation and green efforts, has retired after serving 19 years at SCSU. As associate director of Atwood Memorial Center, he is responsible for inundating SCSU with recycling containers seen around campus. His work on the Husky Fried Ride will leave a lasting impression in the community and on campus, reinforcing the idea that one man can make a difference.

“We tend to think globally,” Bouffard said about the environment. “But we need to think in ways to act locally.”

Which Bouffard did with the Husky Fried Ride. It is the first public transportation in the country that uses University waste, utilizing it in a productive way.

The project received an Innovative Partnering and Collaboration Award from the MnSCU system for 2008-09. The Metro Bus runs on 70 percent recycled deep fryer vegetable oil.

“Ed was always the voice of the Recycling movement,” Margaret Vos, director of Atwood Memorial Center said. Bouffard pushed for standards in recycling, “How do we collect, how do we get it out of the building to be recycled?”

The Atwood Center was the first on campus building to feature recycling containers and currently houses transparent containers, which in theory will enact students to see what in the container is to be recycled and to follow suit with their materials.

“Ed had the idea, whatever you do, leave it a little better than you found it,” Vos said.

“And he certainly did that.” See related story on page 48.

Music Department to host national performance conference What is Electro-Acoustic Music? Is it musical computers? Computerized instruments? Or is it both? The exact definition is debatable but a common definition is the integration of natural and electronic, often computerized, generated sounds and effects. St. Cloud State will be flooded with sound as the campus hosts the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS) national conference April 8-10.

SEAMUS was founded in 1984 and is a non-profit national organization with members made up of composers, performers and teachers of electro-acoustic music. One of the determining factors for hosting the conference was the music department’s degree, bachelor of arts in music with an emphasis in new media. The program is only in its third year.

The April conference is performance based with a selection committee of adjudicators. Composers and sound artists can submit up to two original works of electronic music. This includes Electro-Acoustic works, works that combine sound and media, and sound installations. Primary consideration is given to the entry’s musical qualities and sound artistry.

Selected pieces will be performed at Ritsche Auditorium and Ruth Gant Recital Hall. Additional locations for installations and non-concert works—both on- and off- campus—will be determined.

Scott Miller, professor of music, works with Inna Skogerboe in the New Media Lab.

Julie Andrzejewski Human Relations Professor Julie Andrzejewski is the lead editor and author of a new book which received the 2009 Peace Studies Book of the Year Award from the Central New York Peace Studies Consortium. “Social Justice, Peace, and Environmental Education: Transformative Standards,” published by Routledge this spring, was a collaborative project among national and international scholars in the American Education Research Association (AERA). Introduced

by Andrzejewski at an invited session of the AERA conference in San Diego in April, a panel of authors spoke to the key aspects of the book: that social justice, peace, and environmental preservation are integrally connected and equally important, and that educators should play a major role in teaching students how to understand global problems and take constructive action for humans and the earth.

Andrzejewski, who joined the University in 1971, has authored numerous other publications and is co-director of the Social Responsibility master’s program.

Ivan Bartha Coordinator for Experiential Programs Ivan Bartha received the Frank Lupton Service Award at the 2009 Wilderness Education Association (WEA) National Conference on Outdoor Leadership in Bloomington, Ind.

Bartha has presented educational workshops at the national conference every year since 2000 and has served on the WEA Board of Trustees since 2006.

Bartha also is helping the WEA develop an accreditation model for affiliate programs to deliver outdoor leadership certification and registry on a national level.

Matt Barton Matt Barton, assistant professor of English, is creating a video game documentary that was inspired by “Vintage Games,” a book he co-authored earlier this year. “Vintage Games” delves into the history of the gaming industry, beginning with primitive computer games and continuing through present-day consoles. Similarly, the film, “Gameplay,” will provide a broad look into the industry’s history.

Barton expects that the film also will provide insight into gaming, dispel common myths about gamers and examine the impact video games have on society. The movie is likely to be released in 2010.

Bradley Chisholm Professor of film history and genre studies, Bradley Chisholm, is researching the infamous First State Bank of Okabena robbery of 1933.

The heist is historically significant because of the notorious outlaws Bonnie and Clyde’s suspected involvement. He discovered the tale of the bank robbery after reading the memoirs of Blanche Caldwell Barrow, “My Life with Bonnie and Clyde.” Since then he has dedicated his research to determining whether the two can actually be attributed to the crime. Chisholm plans to share his work with his students to demonstrate that historical research can be exciting. He is also considering publishing a scholarly article and hopes it will create a revival of interest in the subject, especially 1930s bank robberies.

Mobile lab delivers science excitement to K-12 schools Surrounded by state-of-the-art lab equipment inside a semi-trailer, K-12 grade students from Annandale, Big Lake, Clarkfield, Cold Spring, Elk River, Willmar and many others are exploring the scientific scenes behind some of their favorite television shows. At multiple lab stations, they learn to purify DNA from a kiwi, measure their hair thickness by laser diffraction or use oil-eating bacteria to clean up an oil spill.

The mobile lab is part of an outreach initiative led by St. Cloud State University to bring bioscience concepts and handson experience to K-12 students in central Minnesota, enhancing the science curriculum of schools that don’t have the equipment and expertise to provide such training.

“Because young people begin to choose a career path as early as fourth grade, we want to make sure they’re engaged in and excited about the sciences long before they come to college,” said David DeGroote, dean of the College of Science and Engineering at St. Cloud State.

Outlook Winter 2010

The 53-foot trailer also has a conference area, audio and video system, wireless network and satellite Internet connections and space for 35 students. The equipment and experiments are designed to attract young people to careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

Science Express hit the road early this fall for weeklong visits. Spending one week at each school on the schedule, the lab on wheels will serve an estimated 7,500 students at 25 schools by the end of the academic year. That is far beyond initial expectations.

“We thought that we’d see maybe 100 students on an average week,” said Bruce Jacobson, director of bioscience outreach and associate professor of biological sciences at St. Cloud State. “What we’re seeing is that teachers are working hard to get as many students in as they can.”

One of the first stops was Rockford, Minn. “The kids got to do a lot of really neat activities and use equipment we wouldn’t normally be able to afford as a school,” said Marie Flanary, principal of

Rockford Middle School, which hosted the mobile unit in September.

“I would love to bring it back here because of all the enthusiasm it brought in the community,” Flanary said. “I had a lot of parents tell me that it was really cool and their kids talked about it for a long time after.”

Jacobson knows the lab is making a difference. He sees it in the expressions and comments by students such as a high school sophomore who stepped into the semi on the third day of a challenging experiment and said: “I’m so glad we were able to come back here. I love it out here.”

A combination of the atmosphere and interest in the activities has led to a high level of student engagement. A recent count by the lab’s lead instructor found that 90 percent of sixth graders were engaged in the learning activity, compared with 60 to 70 percent of students in a traditional environment.

The impact is attracting the attention of science leaders throughout the state.

begins,” said Dale Wahlstrom, chief executive officer of the BioBusiness Alliance of Minnesota. “We can’t have an industry without the kids.”

The lab’s lead teacher is Mike Gabrielson, a retired high school science teacher, and working with him is Stacy Helgeson, an experienced elementary school teacher who has been engaging students ages 5 through 12 in the lab experiments.

“The kids have been very excited that they’re seeing things they haven’t seen in the classroom,” Helgeson said. The most popular experiment so far? “The DNA,” she said. “They extract DNA from a fruit – kiwi, strawberries and bananas – and can take home the test tube to show it to their parents.”

Community partnerships have made the project possible. With a donation from Medtronic of a high-tech trailer that the Minneapolis firm previously used for training physicians, the Science Express is believed to be among the most sophisticated mobile lab programs in the country.

Others contributing in-kind and financial support include the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, Innovative Laboratory Systems, Morgan Family Foundation, 3M, Everything Signs and a WIRED grant from the Minnesota Renewable Energy Marketplace.

Four colleges in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System are collaborating with St. Cloud State University on the project: Ridgewater College, Anoka-Ramsey Community College, Minneapolis Community and Technical College, and St. Cloud Technical College.

Imagine biology, engineering and computer science students working alongside one another in a lab space to create a biological sensor for a new device that a local company is looking to bring to market. It is a real-world need that St. Cloud State University would like to offer its students and the broader community through the proposal of a new Integrated Science and Engineering Laboratory Facility (ISELF).

“This space would allow students to continue to show their technical competency while learning the soft skills sought after by employers like team work, project management and meeting deadlines,” said David DeGroote, dean of the College of Science and Engineering.

While a vision of the College of Science and Engineering, ISELF aims to deliver 100,000-square-feet of flexible lab space from which students across campus can benefit.

The $42.3-million facility would allow departments to pool their resources and expertise to provide a robust and flexible lab space designed for graduate work.

The facility, DeGroote said, would move away from the “silo effect” of departments and provide a broader level of interaction of students.

Eventually, ISELF will have the capacity to do 50 managed projects at one time.

ISELF sprung from a facility inventory and workforce needs assessment conducted by DeGroote shortly after he became dean in 2005.

“I wanted to understand where we were,” he said. “Then, I wanted to look at the future workforce needs and make sure we were providing educational opportunities that supported them.”

ISELF will mark the culmination of a three-part science initiative that aims to meet a growing demand for science and engineering education.

Since 2002, the College of Science

The University launched the initiative with a $14.5-million addition to the Robert H. Wick Science Building. The addition, completed earlier this year, provides modern laboratories to introductory students in chemistry, biology and physics.

The college plans to finish with more than $13.6-million in renovations to Brown Hall that will bring the nursing program on campus while providing space for general science education, communication sciences and disorders and continuing studies programs.

The college will request funds for construction, anticipated to start in 2011, in the 2010 legislative session. Those dollars would help fulfill a vision to provide a space that is responsive to trends and unforeseen educational needs.

With movable benches and cabinetry, ISELF can easily adapt and be reconfigured to meet the vast lab needs of today and even opportunities in the future. “We don’t know what kinds of jobs are going to be out there and what the convergence will be,” DeGroote said. “We have to build a building that adapts to whatever comes down the road.”

St. Cloud’s Fifth Avenue is a boulevard of dreams for Brian Schoenborn ’92.

A self-professed entrepreneur in a lawyer’s body, Schoenborn is helping transform Fifth Avenue in St. Cloud into a signature thoroughfare that links the intertwined fortunes of campus and community.

“Fifth Avenue will scream St. Cloud State. It will scream ‘We’re proud of our university,’ ” Schoenborn said.

Schoenborn is part of the development team that is constructing the first phase of the Fifth Avenue Live development that promises to remake both sides of Fifth Avenue from Ramsey Place north to Minnesota Highway 23.

Scheduled to open in August, the development includes a pair of fourstory buildings that will house a 12,000-square-foot St. Cloud State Welcome Center, a 455-student housing complex and 19,000-square-feet of retail space.

The university will lease the Welcome Center and housing from the Wedum Foundation, a Minneapolis-based non-profit that develops housing for students and seniors.

The housing complex will be a mix of studio, two- and four-bedroom units, with most being four-bedroom, said Steve Ludwig, vice president of administrative affairs.

Students will access the underground parking, floors, rooms and elevators using a key fob, an authentication device similar to a smart card.

Private bathrooms and laundry facilities in each fully-furnished unit add to what university officials describe as a “high-amenity, high-value” living experience.

“This is state-of-the-art, 21st century housing,” Schoenborn said. “It’s the type of housing that is popping up on great campuses all over the country.”

The price tag for transforming St. Cloud’s Fifth Avenue into a signature boulevard could top $165 million.

“It really will become an interface between St. Cloud State and downtown,” said Brian Schoenborn ’92, who created the Fifth Avenue Live moniker based on a similar project on the East coast.

Schoenborn and members of St. Cloud’s Coborn family are part of an investment group planning $100 million in mixed-use development on both sides of Fifth Avenue from Ramsey Place north to Minnesota Highway 23.

The first phase of construction is located on the former Coborn’s grocery store site on Fifth Avenue.

“The welcome center will be the University’s new front door,” said President Earl H. Potter III. “Our students, our families, our alumni, our friends – all will benefit from convenient access to an information clearinghouse.” Two classrooms, a gift shop, art gallery, conference room and offices for a number of the University’s most public programs are planned.

The student apartments will be on the upper floors of the north and south buildings.

Retail will be on the ground floor of the north building.

Anchoring the south end of Fifth Avenue will be the tentatively named National Hockey and Event Center. Converting the 20-year-old National Hockey Center into a regional events center capable of hosting national touring acts is the goal. It also will host other athletic events such as basketball and wrestling.

Near the north end of Fifth Avenue, city officials are planning a $34 million expansion of the Civic Center. Demolition of the former St. Cloud Library began in October to make way for the expansion.

“Public-private partnerships are critical to a community’s future,” said Potter. “Fifth Avenue Live is evidence that St. Cloud has become a community of shared visions, a place where business leaders, university staff and city officials work for the common good.”

St. Cloud Civic Center Anchoring the north end of Fifth Avenue Live will be the St. Cloud Civic Center, a $30 million expansion projected to attract $34 million in new annual revenue. The 62,000 square foot project will include 35,000 square feet of exhibit and trade space. The City of St. Cloud received state planning funds and is seeking final funding from the Legislature.

The 40-year-old Schoenborn is also highly involved in St. Cloud State’s $30 million renovation and conversion of the National Hockey Center into a regional events venue.

Tentatively named the National Hockey and Event Center, it will anchor the south end of Fifth Avenue and will host national acts and performers who for years have flown over or driven past St. Cloud on their way to Fargo and Duluth, Schoenborn said.

In a concert configuration the center would hold about 8,000, thanks in part to new seating on the west end.

“It will be a cultural and social centerpiece for our region,” said President Earl H. Potter III. A spring 2011 kickoff is planned for an official fundraising campaign to secure donations. Naming rights, sponsorships, private donations and $6.5 million from the 2008 Legislature will fund the project.

Fans of the men’s and women’s hockey programs also will benefit from the project and enjoy new amenities, including: • A glass-enclosed atrium • Improved concourse, ticket, concession, restroom and pro shop areas.

• Updated sound reinforcement and lighting.

• Luxury suites on four sides of the arena.

“Everything people have loved about Husky hockey will be there, but it will be a more professional experience,” Schoenborn said.

“It’s going to help every corner of the University,” Schoenborn said. “The high tide raises all boats.”

Mark Schmidt is reflected in a dismantled computer hard drive Tuesday in a classroom at St. Cloud State University. Schmidt will lead the university’s information assurance studies program.

Protecting the country’s future SCSU plans to have a strong presence in a growing field During the Cold War, there was much less confusion than there is today about who the enemy was and how it could attack.

The rise of the Internet and computers as a staple of doing business has increased the need to protect the nation’s cyber infrastructure, and the federal government has made it a priority.

Federal agencies in the future could be looking to St. Cloud for the next generation of cyber warriors. St. Cloud State University recently was designated a center of academic excellence in information assurance education.

That distinction, bestowed by the Department of Homeland Security and 18

Outlook Winter 2010

the National Security Agency, allows St. Cloud State to apply for millions in grants to build programs focused on computer and information security.

It’s a growing field in which St. Cloud State plans to have a strong presence, said St. Cloud State President Earl H. Potter III. “When you look at where the jobs are and what the need is, we need to make sure we are preparing people to meet the needs of the economy of the state,” Potter said. “This is an important place for us to be.”

St. Cloud State’s program will offer a range of training, including designing and maintaining computer networks, detecting and preventing intrusions and

digital forensics. This fall, St. Cloud State will offer a master’s degree in information assurance.

The distinction of being a center of excellence has paid off. St. Cloud State in July learned it will receive $92,082 worth of grants to provide a two-year full-ride scholarship for a student who, after graduating, is guaranteed a twoyear job with a Department of Defense employer. Many such grants provide money for the host institution, and in this case it means about $60,000 for St. Cloud State. The money will pay for new servers and a forensic station that can examine cell phones.

Those kinds of grants can help St. Cloud State grow its program the

way Mississippi State University did.

Mississippi State has been designated a center of academic excellence since 2001 and has received about $18 million in research funds since, said Ray Vaughn, professor of computer science and engineering at Mississippi State.

St. Cloud State has a prime opportunity to grow its information security programs, Vaughn said.

“In a space of about 10 years, I would expect St. Cloud State University to do something similar” to what Mississippi State did in growing its programs, said Vaughn, who is also director of its Critical Infrastructure Protection Center.

The Mississippi State program began with one interested faculty member in 2001 and now has 12 faculty members affiliated with its security program from three different colleges, Vaughn said.

His program averages 12-15 students a year on computer security scholarships like the one St. Cloud State received.

And with the federal government citing the field as a need, the time to capitalize is now, he said.

“This has been a critical area of need for the government for at least 10-11 years now,” Vaughn said. “All indications I have are that it will continue to be a shortage area.”

Mississippi State as recently as a few weeks ago helped the FBI and Texas law enforcement identify a hacker who had bragged about planning to penetrate and manipulate a hospital HVAC system, Vaughn said. The hacker has since been charged in federal court.

Mississippi State and St. Cloud State faculty collaborated in March 2008 to teach a computer forensics class at St. Cloud State to 25 officers from 18 police and sheriff’s departments.

“Those are the kinds of things that we want to do, but it takes funding,” said Diana Lawson, dean of the G.R. Herberger College of Business. “That’s the kind of value we can add for Minnesota.”

The primary source of funding to grow the Mississippi State program is federal grant dollars that are available

to those institutions deemed centers of academic excellence, Vaughn said.

Mississippi State will continue to mentor St. Cloud State’s program and provide curriculum material and guidance, Vaughn said.

Mark Schmidt, interim director of St. Cloud State’s Center for Information Assurance Studies, attended Mississippi State and will work closely with Vaughn to develop St. Cloud State’s program.

Schmidt and St. Cloud State spent two years compiling the information needed to meet the requirements for designation as a center of academic excellence.

The emphasis on information security comes as the health care industry converts to electronic medical records and more companies either host data or have electronic data they need to store. And more people are keeping sensitive data on mobile devices and storing valuable information electronically.

And while the centers are preparing some students for work with government agencies, they also are preparing many more for jobs in the private sector, Vaughn said.

“Every time we offer these security classes, they fill up,” Vaughn said.

Demand could mirror what a company like CentraCare Health System saw when it began transitioning to electronic medical records. The IT staff at CentraCare has grown 20 percent to 30 percent in the last three to five years, said Charles Dooley, vice president for information services at CentraCare.

Medical records and advancements in its network spurred the growth, he said. CentraCare has about 156 IT employees, Dooley said, and the balance are focused on computer applications and user support, he said.

“It really has exploded as a component of IT in the last five years,” Dooley said.

For the 150-plus students taking classes at the new St. Cloud State University Twin Cities Graduate Center, the convenience of a Maple Grove site just off I-494 is a major draw. But for these motivated professionals, the opportunities go deeper than a short commute.

Opened in August, St. Cloud State’s new graduate center is intended to fill the need for convenient, high quality, relevant and affordable graduate programs expressed by residents of the northern Twin Cities suburbs. The Herberger College of Business, College of Science and Engineering and College of Education are offering programs and classes at the center, and the University expects to expand its master degree offerings in coming years to accommodate growing demand among the critical mass of potential students in that region.

St. Cloud State’s alumni database has addresses for more than 32,000 graduates within 30 miles of the Twin Cities Graduate Center, and many of them are likely to be attracted to this facility as they seek graduate degrees.

When Diana Muske ’93, Coon Rapids, who is enrolled in a College of Education master’s degree program in counselor education and educational psychology counseling, found out one of her classes would be offered Tuesday nights at the Graduate Center, she signed up. “Hopefully I can take more of them here,” said Muske, who works in the Anoka Hennepin School District’s Early Childhood Family Education program. “The commute is shorter than to St. Cloud, and I love the energy here.”

Jim Freeland ’00, a St. Cloud State accounting information systems graduate currently on the management track in systems auditing and security at Medtronics, is typical of the focused students who have been drawn to the center’s master of business administration (MBA) program. Like many of his peers, he comes to class at the end of a busy workday or a Saturday and goes home to a Twin Cities suburban home and family.

Having evening classes at a location between his Fridley workplace and his St. Michael home is a boon to Freeland’s busy schedule. Married to College of Education graduate Stacey Byers Freeland ’00 and father of two children, being able to achieve his educational goals without a long commute is a big advantage.

“It makes it very convenient,” he said.

Until the new center opened in its 6,000-square-foot building near the Bass Lake Road exit, the MBA program had had a Maple Grove home for Twin Cities’ cohorts since 2003. Businessman Russ Hagen ’64 opened space in his Data Recognition Corporation building, also off I-494, for the first Twin Cities satellite classes in the Herberger College of Business program.

Stephanie Ballantyne ’01, St. Louis Park, whose undergraduate degree is in marketing, said the Twin Cities MBA program has met her needs on many levels.

“In addition to the great location, the structure of the program has provided so much support and ease.”

That structure is the cohort model, which takes a core group of students through a degree program from beginning to end. “Being part of a cohort adds another dimension to the learning experience,” said Dennis Nunes, dean of graduate studies for St. Cloud State, who cites a 90 percent graduation rate among students who are part of a cohort. “They bring each other through a demanding environment. They become a family.

“I love the cohort model,” said Ballantyne. “It builds relationships and offers a support system all the way through.”

Professor Brad Sleeper, who has taught business law classes to several MBA cohorts, recognizes the multiple benefits the Maple Grove site offers his busy students. They come to the program with common goals and become an integrated

consumer group of individuals who form a working partnership, Sleeper said of his cohort students. “It’s amazing how much work they can squeeze in on top of their more than full-time professional lives. They bring a high level of talent and demand a high level of quality. For a teacher, there’s nothing like it.” Plans call for expanding the number of MBA cohorts from three to six with 25 students in each.

Besides the MBA program, a third cohort in the College of Science and Engineering’s two-year-old master of regulatory affairs and services program opened this fall at the Center. St. Cloud State’s College of Education also is offering individual classes at the Center that can lead to master’s degrees in higher education administration, college counseling and student development or educational administration and leadership.

US Department of Education

grants $300,000 Colleges across the country are looking for ways to manage and reduce high-risk drinking, both on campus and in the community, and they’re starting to look to St. Cloud State University as a model.

St. Cloud State is taking steps to provide an answer to what the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services calls a leading public health issue. The department reports that each year about 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of underage drinking.

“Our goal is to help students succeed and graduate,” said Wanda Overland, vice president of student life and development. “If we’re looking at the whole student, it’s not just about grade point average, but what affects it.”

St. Cloud State is at the cusp of using comprehensive alcohol education initiatives and campus activities like U-Choose, a voluntary alcohol education program that boasts more than 4,300 student participants. Atwood After Dark and Blizzard Shack are among some of the activities aimed at changing a culture that says “every college student drinks” by giving students healthier alternatives. Efforts to change these perceptions focus on intervention, prevention and community outreach and are driven by strong institutional support from President Earl H. Potter III and other key leaders.

“People are interested in St. Cloud State because the things we’re doing are innovative,” Overland said, “and even the things that aren’t innovative are best practices and the data is showing that it is making a difference.”

The results have earned St. Cloud State invitations to speak on best practices at local, regional and national conferences and a $300,000 federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education to expand the efforts in the community. “Our whole philosophy is not to say that people shouldn’t drink or use alcohol,” Overland said. “It’s that people need to make healthy choices.”

Best practices U-Choose is among the programs that are getting widespread praise for its approach and results. By teaching students about alcohol, their limits and the health effects, university leaders aim to equip students with the knowledge to make healthier decisions. “Students weren’t even aware how much alcohol they were consuming and how it was affecting their health,” Overland said.

Since the inception of U-Choose in 2007, St. Cloud State rates of high-risk drinking have fallen while they have increased nationwide. “U-Choose is fun, interactive and engaging, and incorporates what we knew would be best for 22

students,” said Rob Reff, interim assistant dean of students for chemical health and outreach programming.

More than 4,300 students have completed U-Choose in the past three years. “There is a 90 percent positive response rate and (students) tell their friends about it,” Reff said.

St. Cloud State’s success in reducing high-risk drinking and harmful alcohol-related activities among students lies in its unique campus-community relationship. Patrick Mastey ’99, a local landlord, is among the university’s essential partners. Mastey, who operates off-campus housing for students, collaborated with the university to expand the U-Choose program to off-campus residents. He has strongly encouraged students who lease his properties to participate the U-Choose program and provided financial incentives for those who complete it.

“The drive for me is to doing something bigger for Central Minnesota and St. Cloud,” said Mastey, owner and manager of Aspen Housing in St. Cloud. “Hopefully, we’re going to change the behavior and people’s lives at a time that’s necessary.”

More than 200 students who live in his rental properties near campus have willingly completed the program. The result, Mastey says, is better buy-in from parents and a sense of community ownership among students. “We’re making students more aware that they are a part of this community and not just going through this community,” he said.

Expanding its reach The Department of Education grant, received in July, will allow St. Cloud State to expand its efforts to promote healthier behavior and focus on four key initiatives over the next two years. “We feel as though we have turned things around on campus so the next step is to turn our focus off campus,” Reff said.

The $300,000 in funding will allow the university to bring U-Choose to St. Cloud Technical College, expand its partnerships with local property managers, create a robust team of off-campus student liaisons through a Husky Neighbors program and create a broad-based community coalition.

The coalition will identify how everyone from K-12 educators and city leaders to law enforcement and bar owners can work together to create a healthier, safer community.

“We’re constantly trying to be innovative, think outside the box and try different things,” Reff said.

More than 4,300 students have experienced U-Choose. For more information about the UChoose program or to request materials, please visit stcloudstate.edu/ uchoose

Alcohol Education At A Glance Here’s a look at what St. Cloud State has been doing to manage and reduce high-risk drinking: Prevention

Intervention

• U-Choose: Interactive education program designed to teach students how their body handles alcohol and the effects alcohol could have on their health, academic performance, mood and relationships.

• House Party 101: 100 students volunteered to role-play party situations and help students experientially learn how to keep safe and make smart decisions about alcohol. Officers from the St. Cloud Police Department had students wear “drunk goggles” and participate in mock sobriety tests (e.g., walk the line).

• Atwood After Dark: Developed to keep students on campus on Friday nights and provide a fun, alcohol-free activity.

• Blizzardshack Block Party: Over 1,000 students attended the event in which students participated in fun activities and had the opportunity to play mini golf with each hole infused with prevention messages and activities.

• Police Involvement: Police officers talk with more than 1,000 students last year offering popular Q&A sessions to residence hall students.

• New Student Code of Conduct: Includes expectations for student behavior with alcohol and prompts the university to intervene when behavior – on or off campus – does not follow those expectations.

• IMPACT: Intervention program for adjudicated students who broke code of conduct with alcohol. Data shows that within 90 days of completing the program, students lower their peak blood alcohol by 40 percent.

Community Outreach • Husky Neighbors: A group of students who live in nearby neighborhoods and receive stipends for serving as liaisons between their neighborhoods and the university. To be initiated in January 2010.

• Coalition: This broad group of local stakeholders will evaluate alcohol and drug use in the community and identify ways to foster a healthier, safer community.

Campus Resources Two years ago, St. Cloud State was investing 40-hours a week in alcohol education. Today, with the Department of Education grant resources and with creating a full-time alcohol education and outreach position, more than 100 hours are invested in alcohol education weekly.

to the beat of change At all-black Lincoln High School (now Lincoln College Preparatory School), Debra Lynn Smith had been a varsity cheerleader, student council representative, National Honor Society Member, staffer on the Rappin’Tiger school newspaper, ROTC queen attendant and the best jumper on the girls’ basketball team. But it was the trip she and 119 other Lincoln marching band members took to the international band competition in Geneva, Switzerland, that had the greatest impact on her. “I remember all of us marching down the streets of Geneva playing the theme from “Shaft,” said Leigh, a clarinet player who learned it took hard work to achieve a dream. “It’s not enough to just play the notes and march.”

Story By Marsha shoemaker | photograph by Jason Jones

On a typical ’60s Sunday night, five Kansas City sisters and their parents watched a Russian dance troupe whirl and jump and kick on Ed Sullivan’s television show. Sister number two – 4-year-old Debra – discovered her destiny in that thrilling performance.

“I had never seen anything so exciting,” said Professor Debra Leigh, who since 1989 has been teaching dance at St. Cloud State. “I just got up and started dancing. I became the daughter who knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.”

Leigh did become a professional dancer, then a teacher of dance, inspiring her students to see their own magic in the art form and creating new opportunities for dancers to perform in their communities. But it was four decades before Leigh would come to grips with obstacles that complicated her journey and that of every person of color with a dream. That second moment of discovery offered her new avenues of influence in her community.

“I was serving on the Central Minnesota Arts Board and volunteered to represent the group at an antiracism workshop,” said Leigh, who had encountered signs of racial roadblocks throughout her career – dance companies that would not put black performers on stage for fear of offending audiences, universities that would not consider tenure as an option for faculty of color.

“It was a life-changing experience for me,” she said. “Before this I didn’t know how to talk about my experiences, how racism had been institutionalized in my world and how our socialization causes all of us to perpetuate racism. We all participate in this dance, and we all have the power to change it.”

Leigh has since spearheaded the creation of the Community Anti-Racism Education – or CARE – initiative that has brought awareness of racism’s broad reach to a wide range

of campus and community members.

The initiative has its roots at St. Cloud State, but Leigh hopes its message and its meaning will branch out to bring understanding and change far beyond the borders of her institution.

Growing up, Leigh built a foundation of knowledge, skills, confidence and desire to achieve that would serve her well as she pursued goals often groundbreaking for a woman of color. She worked her way through her first year at the University of Missouri in Kansas City and auditioned for the school’s dance program.

By the end of the first year her skill level had increased dramatically, and Leigh was ready to pursue a professional dance career. In 1974, the Kansas City Ballet professional company was all white, although there were several students of color studying there. “We were told that if the company had members of color performing on stage, the company would lose its patrons.”

She found opportunities to perform outside the regular dance company and began building her resume. Leigh’s first breakthrough job came when the “Glitter Girls” professional cheerleading team for the then-Kansas City Kings NBA basketball team hired her as their first black member.

“This time it helped to stand out,” she said. “When I went to auditions, they knew who I was.” Worlds of Fun made her the first black woman to dance on their stages, and she traveled in a summer touring company of “Showboat” that starred film star Van Johnson. “It was terribly exciting.”

Marriage at age 23 slowed Leigh’s performing and traveling, and two years later she returned to college. When she graduated, she became a partner in The Dancer’s Studio in Kansas City, and then earned her master of fine arts degree at the University of Illinois.

After being invited by other universities to teach without opportunity for promotion, Leigh

came to St. Cloud State in 1989. As the university’s only dance instructor, she was determined to avoid the practices she had seen too often on other campuses – faculty providing advantages for white students and marginalizing students of color because “their body shape was wrong” or “they didn’t have the right skills.”

She worked to move the dance minor out of the College of Education and into the College of Fine Arts and Humanities. “Dance is a performing art, and I wanted all my students to have experience performing on campus and in the community.”

Leigh also has been instrumental in building dance companies for young people and for alumni that cultivated young talent and brought performances to Minnesotans in St. Cloud and the Twin Cities.

This past year she helped organize Omeka! – a learning circle Leigh helped organize to encourage cultural interaction among the community’s growing number of immigrant and African-American families. It was a natural outgrowth of Leigh’s longtime practice of inviting African-American students to her home on Sundays to cook and socialize.

“Debra’s impact on our community has been immeasurable,” said Hedy Tripp, coordinator of the St. Cloud Create CommUNITY initiative of which Leigh is vice chair. “Through her leadership we have had more than a thousand people who have come and continue to come to the table to intentionally talk about race and systemic racism.”

“Race has been a fundamental organizing principle in our society,” Leigh said. “It has economic, political and social implications and can place us in artificial categories that break the bonds of community. Anti-racism must be one of the strategies that begin to rebuild community.”

What a great time to be involved with St. Cloud State.

There’s an exciting vitality on campus and in the community that’s being fueled by bold leadership and a vision undimmed by economic challenges.

As a business owner, I understand the value of investing in people and investing in the future, and right now there’s no better investment than in the education of our future leaders.

The St. Cloud State Foundation’s mission is “to support and enhance St. Cloud State’s ability to ignite students’ learning and discovery of their gifts, their passions, and their potential contributions to society.”

We provide donors with personal opportunities to make an impact on St. Cloud State and to support the students who want and deserve a wellrounded, outstanding education. Gifts from donors provide more than 700 scholarships a year.

Now, more than ever, our students need access to the kind of education they will receive at St. Cloud State. That access comes in part from support that provides scholarships and support that allows the University to continue providing a progressive learning environment without large tuition increases. As a Foundation Board of Trustees, we realize our students learn better in facilities and with services and resources that support all aspects of their education.

In the past year the campus has opened the Wick Science Addition, which houses modern, safe, high-tech biology and chemistry laboratories for teaching and research and reopened the beautifully renovated Riverview building as home to the Communication Studies Department. Another sweeping renovation of Brown Hall for the university’s growing nursing program will be finished this spring. And the third step in making St. Cloud State a leader in science education is the proposed Integrated Science and Engineering Laboratory Facility – or ISELF, a facility we hope will get further legislative support this year.

We’re grateful that our donors are seeing their way clear to continuing and, in some cases, increasing their charitable contributions that make it possible for us to continue this important support of our students’ educational needs.

Herberger Family Legacy Continues When Arizona residents Gary and Judd Herberger visit Minnesota, they always stop in to visit students and faculty at the Herberger College of Business. The college was named in 1999 in honor of their father, the late G.R. “Bob” Herberger, in tribute to his business and philanthropic ideals and with a promise to “inspire and prepare global business leaders who will improve society through their knowledge and leadership.” Thanks to the continuing generous support of the Herberger Family and others, the college is fulfilling that pledge by demonstrating best practices in business education, providing innovative and effective academic programs, and always putting students first.

Diana Lawson, dean of the G.R. Herberger College of Business, explained that the Herbergers’ long-term contributions for endowment and renovation of Centennial Hall have enabled the college to advance far beyond the status quo for a state institution and to develop top-quality programs of which the Herbergers can be proud.

“We’re building programs to make our students much more well rounded,” explains Lawson.

St. Cloud State University graduates have always been strong academically, she said. The support of the Herberger Family makes possible programs that help students develop “soft” skills such as effective personal interaction, creativity, public speaking, leadership and ethics—qualities that came naturally to Bob, who was a self-made businessman.

The Herbergers are known in Minnesota and Arizona as generous patrons of the arts and supporters of numerous educational and social service organizations, but they remain loyal to St. Cloud, where the family lived until 1949.

“Our parents were always generous in the communities in which they lived,” explained Gary, “we feel it’s important to give back, particularly to communities like St. Cloud, which have given so much to us.” As mother Kax Herberger once said, “We give because it’s the right thing to do.”

Annual report 2008-09 plan to create mobile science labs, he wondered: Could Medtronic’s labs be converted for this new purpose?

Wahlstrom worked the phones and put St. Cloud State in touch with Cynthia Taylor, Medtronic director of customer education operations. “Because we had used the labs for training and education,” explained Taylor, “they were just about what St. Coud State needed.”

In 2009, Medtronic donated a mobile lab to St. Cloud State, its largest gift ever to SCSU. “If we built the trailer brand new today it would cost at least $750,000,” explains Bruce Jacobson, associate professor of biology and director of bioscience outreach for St. Cloud State, who oversaw the transformation of the lab to the Drive-thru Science, Minnesota Style Science Express.

As hundreds of K-12 students in central Minnesota step into the Science “This is a great way to bring state-of-the-art Express at their schools this year, few will realize how lucky they are to training to some of the smaller, rural schools that have a mobile, state-of-the-art science education facility at their doorstep. don’t have the capability to keep up with rapidly But they are indeed the fortunate beneficiaries of good timing, chance changing technology,” said Taylor, who noted that conversations and corporate generosity.

Medtronic has a long, proud history of training In its former life, the Science Express was one of three mobile simulation future scientists that began with founder Earl labs where Minnesota-based Medtronic trained physicians how to implant Bakken’s childhood experiments. “We hope some medical devices such as implantable defibrillators and pacemakers. As the of these kids will enter universities and graduate company developed more on-site simulation facilities, the need for these to become the world’s top-rated scientists and mobile labs diminished. So, when SCSU alumnus and former Medtronic physicians.” See related story on page 12.

Annual report 2008-09 Bullish on St. Cloud State Ever since Hemingway wrote about it in 1923, the “running of the bulls” in Pamplona, Spain, has attracted the brave, the crazy, the adventurous and one white-haired stockbroker from Fergus Falls. “It was the biggest adrenalin rush of my life,” says Larry Dorn ’64 of his 2005 experience.

“I like to think that I’ve been running with the bulls ever since entering the securities business,” says Dorn, who established Dorn & Co. Inc., a Fergus Falls securities investment firm, only 31/2 years after graduating from St. Cloud State.

As a student at St. Cloud, Dorn received the solid business education that would serve him throughout his career. He learned about finance in and outside of class where he earned tuition by playing drums in a dance combo and traveling throughout the United States for the Northrup King Seed Co. during summer breaks and in class, where he studied with faculty like Professors Carl Folkerts (economics) and Clare Daggett (marketing).

“I developed a foundation that I use every day in my business,” explains Dorn. “I still quote my economics professor to this day.” In 1994, SCSU recognized Dorn’s stellar career in securities investment with a Distinguished Alumni Award.

Even after all these years, Dorn is still “bullish” on St. Cloud State.

Dorn, who designates that his gifts to St. Cloud State support the Herberger College of Business, is a past member of the St. Cloud State University Foundation board and was part of a group of community leaders who co-hosted President Earl Potter’s recent alumni and friends gathering in Fergus Falls. In addition to his support of St. Cloud State, Larry is currently co-chairing a $10 million fund drive for a cancer center at Lake Region Hospital in Fergus Falls.

Annual report 2008-09 Loyal Community Members Art and Barb Grachek use the word “community” in its most embracing sense. Their communities include the St. Cloud metro area, St. Cloud State, sports fans, art and music lovers, and students, alumni and friends around the world. They support each of their communities with gifts of their time, talent and financial resources.

Both are alumni and university retirees. Art (B.S., 1962, and M.S. 1964) served as chair of the Department of Speech Communication after earning a Ph.D. at Wayne State University and Barb (B.S. 1962 and M.S. 1963) earned a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota and held numerous leadership positions during her career, culminating as vice president of academic affairs.

The Gracheks’ concern for students is a hallmark of both their careers and volunteerism.

“The University brings them in as freshmen, and works hard to retain them,” explains Art, who notes that St. Cloud State offers a wide range of support systems for students, especially firstgeneration college students. “St. Cloud State keeps classes small, hires faculty who are committed to teaching and advising and encourages students to participate in activities.”

Former first-generation college students themselves, they readily cite research that says students who participate in activities like debating, athletics or music, are more likely to stay in college.

In addition to their professional and continuing volunteer contributions, the Gracheks have given generously to the University since 1978, putting them among the St. Cloud State’s most loyal donors.

“With any organization, the people who work there really need to show others their commitment to the institution … it’s not just a place where you collect your check,” says Barb. Their most recent gifts include support for athletics and international student assistance.

In 2004, the Gracheks established the Arthur and Barbara Grachek Study Abroad Scholarship in Communication Studies, an endowed fund that has provided support to seven students since its inception. “This is often students’ first opportunity to travel abroad,” explains Barb. “They gain a sense of confidence, self sufficiency, and grow academically by seeing a much more diverse world and working with different people. … It’s a life changer for them.”

A LU M N I AWA R D S 2 0 0 9 Distinguished Alumni Award

James Graves ’74

Seven years after earning his degree in elementary education, Twin Cities innkeeper extraordinaire Jim Graves ’74 built his first motel. While that single AmericInn was blossoming into a chain of 220 across the United States, Graves Hospitality Corporation was graduating to more upscale establishments with names like Radisson and Marriott and finally, Graves.

The elegant Graves 601 Hotel – the place the New York Times magazine called “the hottest, most fashionable hotel in town” opened in 1997 in downtown Minneapolis to rave reviews. A rare combination of soothing luxury and hightech excitement, it filled a niche no other Twin Cities hotel had touched. Soon this stylish Graves flagship will be joined by other hotels with the Graves brand and Graves sophistication in Chicago, New York, Coronado, Calif., and Costa Rica.

A St. Cloud native, Graves paid his way through St. Cloud State, got a wellrounded education and developed an entrepreneurial spirit that eclipsed his short-lived career as an elementary schoolteacher. As founder and chief executive officer of the Graves Hospitality Corporation, he has enjoyed outstanding success in real estate development and earned prestigious accolades for his hotels.

But watching the development of his family has been even more satisfying. “I will look back on my life and say my greatest achievement is my family,” Graves said. “To be able to watch them grow and succeed has been extremely gratifying.”

In addition to the contributions to the Twin Cities and Central Minnesota, he has been a dedicated community leader and supporter of the arts. He serves on

numerous non-profit boards including the United Way of Central Minnesota, St. Benedict’s development board, Partners Across Borders International, the Salvation Army relief board and the International Lodging Association Board.

Alumni Service Award

Robert White ’70

Bob White ’70 believes if he hadn’t gone to St. Cloud State University for his degree in biology, he would not have gone to college. He also believes in giving back, and he’s generously shared his time, expertise and support with his alma mater.

White, St. Cloud, is former chief executive officer of Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, the world’s third largest publisher and information services firm.

His financial acumen and experience in strategic planning was a valuable resource during his 10 years of service and leadership on the St. Cloud State University Foundation Board of Trustees. He also has served as guest speaker and instructor in St. Cloud State classrooms.

Other community organizations that have benefitted from White’s spirit of service and giving include the United Way of Central Minnesota, YMCA, Boy Scouts, Cathedral High School Foundation, and the St. Cloud Hospital Board of Directors, of which he was chair.

“Just being a good citizen starts with being a good husband and father, extending to the community,” White said.

“You’ve got to be involved. You’ve got to find out what’s important to you and you have to serve that.”

Graduate of the Last Decade Gold Award

Joseph Nayquonabe ’04

Grand Casino marketing executive Joseph

Nayquonabe ’04, Onamia, credits his St. Cloud State education with giving him the foundation to pursue his career goal – helping his tribe thrive and succeed into the future.

For Nayquonabe that education began early when his father became a student.

“The fondest memory I have of St. Cloud State was when I was a little kid and my dad used to bring us to school with him,” Nayquonabe said. “He’d sit us in the back of the classroom and we’d just sit there and listen to his classes.”

Years later, as a marketing student, an internship at Grand Casino Mille Lacs/ Hinckley launched a career that has brought Nayquonabe accolades, including a 2009 Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal “40 Under Forty” distinction, as well as the satisfaction of having an impact on the lives around him.

As corporate vice president of marketing for the Corporate Commission of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Nayquonabe oversees a staff of 100 people in marketing, entertainment and promotional campaigns for Grand Casino. At the top of his list of goals is to become the kind of role model for his daughter that his father was for him.

College of Business Leadership Award

James Bullard ’84

As president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, James Bullard is in the exceptional position of helping to set the direction of the nation’s monetary policy. He recalls when his St. Cloud State professors helped set the direction of his stellar career in economics research and public policy.

Earning his doctorate in economics from Indiana University, he taught at three universities before joining the

His message to those professors who gave him the foundation for his exceptional career is, “It’s turned out very well for me, so thanks very much.” See related story on page 5.

College of Education Leadership Award

Michael Spanier ’71 ’76 ’81 The personal approach to teaching shown him by his St. Cloud State instructors helped Michael Spanier, Sartell, meet the challenge of studying on a large campus after attending a one-room schoolhouse.

In his ascent from teacher and coach to award-winning school administrator, he has emulated his mentors and led by example to help others achieve their own educational goals.

“These people modeled integrity, passion and perseverance in the accomplishment of their goals,” Spanier said of the many outstanding colleagues and mentors who have influenced him in his 35-year career.

Spanier was a Sartell Middle School principal for 20 years and is a four-time Middle Level Principal of the Year honoree of the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals. He is also a consultant for seven Minnesota school districts and the University of North Dakota.

Spanier also officiates at high school, college and professional sports – including Big Ten Conference football and basketball and National Football League playoffs.

“My experiences in education, teaching, coaching and officiating in high school, college – and now professionally – have all had their mark on my success.”

College of Fine Arts and Humanities Leadership Award

Kathy Grundei ’71

Kathy Grundei’s leadership roles in arts education have been an extension of her strong belief that “the arts communicate and make you think in powerful ways.” As arts education consultant for the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, she is in a position to extend her advocacy for arts literacy to the students, teachers, artist, schools and arts organizations the center serves.

Among her many role models – family, mentors and friends – Grundei includes the

St. Cloud State faculty who instilled in her education “a future that would continue to embrace curiosity and a deep love for learning.” After earning a master’s degree in education from Hamline University, she touched countless others with her passionate promotion of lifelong learning.

Grundei received three Art Educators of Minnesota awards in her 30-year career as educator and facilitator of professional development of other Minnesota educators through instructional practice, curriculum and assessment. She co-chairs the Minnesota State Standards L-12 Arts Revision Committee and is a former president of the Arts Educators of Minnesota. Through her career, she has lived out her belief that “the arts are what connect us and are at the pinnacle of who we are as humans.”

College of Science & Engineering Leadership Award

Dennis Tuel Sr. ’59

In 1973 Dennis Tuel, Fergus Falls, launched ShoreMaster, the company that would become an international leader in residential and commercial waterfront equipment. In the next three decades as chief executive officer and president of the growing company, he added a wide variety of inventions to a stable of products that began with his all-aluminum boatlift.

Tuel is retired but remains a leading force in economic and sustainability endeavors in the Fergus Falls region. He and his daughter and son-in-law operate Buffalo Pass Ranch, home to a herd of 550 bison, along with a wholesale marketing company, Buffalo Meat Inc. which distributes to nearly 200 retail stores in the upper Midwest. Along with this wife, Marsha, he was instrumental in the establishment of the Continental Divide Visitors Center in Fergus Falls.

“I graduated (from St. Cloud State) as an energized young adult, qualified and confidently prepared to make a difference in the world,” Tuel said. In recent years, he has been involved in wind generation activities and earned a doctorate in international business while writing his autobiography.

College of Social Sciences Leadership Award

“The Limits of Marriage: Why Getting Everyone Married Won’t Solve All Our Problems,” he credits his wife with putting him on the path to the right career. And, he claims, “My greatest achievement in life is staying married to the same, wonderful woman for 41 and a half years.”

As a sociology student at St. Cloud State, Lee would come home so excited about what he was learning that his wife encouraged him to go to graduate school in sociology instead of pursuing a career in law. “The faculty who were here at the time, they got my intellectual curiosity excited and interested in what I do.”

Lee has become an expert in the field of family relations. He is professor and chairperson of sociology at Bowling Green State University and has written several books and had numerous academic writings published in research journals and books. He also serves on the board of the National Council on Family Relations and in 2000 he was awarded the council’s Jan Trost Award for contributions to comparative family research.

University Leadership Award

Edward Bouffard

From the moment Ed Bouffard joined the Atwood Memorial Center staff as director of the University Conference and Information Center in 1990, he poured his interest and energy into building a supportive environment for the colleagues and student leaders who work to make St. Cloud State a better campus community.

In later years as associate director of operation, Bouffard brought new technology to all aspects of the student center, coordinating the research, purchase and installation of a $90,000 computer network for 60 workstations throughout the building. He also co-led a successful campaign to obtain student approval for a $5 million student union renovation bond and helped plan and carry out extensive renovations before his retirement.

Bouffard’s dedication to students helped shape the Center into the welcoming and student-centered environment that will continue to enrich their lives with social, recreational and cultural activities. See related story on page 8.

Tom Hoch ’76, Hennepin Theatre Trust President/CEO, sits in the Pantages Theatre in downtown Minneapolis, a 1,014-seat venue which opened in 1916. Hoch was instrumental in the five-year effort to save and restore this historic treasure, a former vaudeville house which still retains its lovely stained-glass “monitor,” a false skylight in the center of the ceiling.

Story By Marsha shoemaker | photograph by Brianna Royle Kopka

Although Tom Hoch ’76 has never performed on stage, he dazzles downtown Minneapolis theatergoers nightly with the fruits of his vision, creativity and talent for city-building.

As president and CEO of Hennepin Theatre Trust, Hoch has been the driving force behind a stunning physical and cultural revitalization of Hennepin Avenue’s theater district. In 2005, the non-profit Trust assumed ownership from the city of the historic State, Orpheum and Pantages theatres.

Ever since, Hoch has been active in promoting, upgrading and adding to the vitality of downtown, according to Jim Graves ’74 (see related story) who owns the upscale hotel Graves 601 in the neighborhood.

“He’s a very, very important asset to the downtown and to its cultural environment,” Graves said of Hoch.

“He’s gentrified Hennepin Avenue.”

Who better to propel this significant metamorphosis than the guy who’s been called a master of reinvention?

Three decades ago, he was fresh out of St. Cloud State University teaching elementary schoolchildren in Minneapolis – first at McKinley, then Hans Christian Anderson. A couple years later, he entered law school at Hamline. After getting his degree, he served as a staff attorney for the Tenth Judicial District, then in private practice for two years before joining the Minneapolis Community Development Agency (CDA). His last incarnation before getting into the theater business full time was deputy executive director of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority.

Every entry on Hoch’s resume represents another period of growth and discovery. His teaching jobs were a result of his involvement in the Urban Project while a senior education student at St. Cloud State. His practice teaching in Minneapolis helped lay a foundation for a career with heavy doses of advocacy and community service.

He believes that volunteering and working for the greater good is not

necessarily just about giving. “An important component is what you get from it,” Hoch said.

For Hoch, every new opportunity came as a result of applying passion to volunteer work, going beyond what was expected and welcoming professional challenges and opportunities. While a project manager at the CDA, Minneapolis found itself in the position of needing to restore the State Theatre it had saved from demolition. “The responsibility for its restoration fell in my lap,” he said.

Hoch was ready to take it on. His experience in education, law, real estate and community development, networking in both the public and private sectors – combined with his love of theater and music – helped prepare him for what eventually became what he calls his “pretty good gig.”

Hoch has devoted Hennepin Theatre Trust to building a richer, more vibrant cultural atmosphere in downtown Minneapolis with Broadway touring productions, performers of comedy, dance and music and community engagement and educational programs – including opportunities for students to learn and explore their potential in the performing arts.

An important part of the process has been to improve the external environment for theatergoers. “I look at the total experience of the patrons,” he said. “People want to feel safe. They want to come to a place that’s clean and have a pleasant experience. It all must work together.”

Throughout his professional life Hoch has applied the philosophy that good things happen through intentional activity, and vibrant cities are made by engaged and active people. “You create the kind of city you want,” he said. “It doesn’t just happen.”

“I never envisioned myself sitting here doing what I’m doing,” Hoch said.

But it’s clear he’s enjoying the role.

St. Cloud State University baseball lost one of its greats with the passing of former coach Jim Stanek. The 83-yearold Stanek died July 11 at his home in St. Cloud. The Huskies’ Baseball coach from 1968-78, Stanek was inducted into the St. Cloud State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.

“Coach Stanek was not only a great mentor, coach and teacher but also a great friend.

He never stopped caring about Husky baseball,” said Pat Dolan, Husky baseball coach. “It was a privilege to have conversations with Jim and the guys like Coach (John) Kasper and Coach (Denny) Lorsung, who truly paved the way for the great tradition of the Husky baseball family.”

Stanek had a 187-114-4 overall record, won five Northern Intercollegiate Conference championships and led the Huskies to a third place finish in the 1969 NAIA National Tournament.

His 1971 team placed third in the NCAA regional tournament.

He graduated from St. Cloud Teachers College in 1951 with a degree in elementary education. A Minneapolis native, Stanek played first base in the 1950s for John Kasper, a St. Cloud State Hall of Fame coach. After several years of coaching and teaching at Coronado (Calif.) High School, Stanek returned to St. Cloud State in 1967 as an assistant football coach, head baseball coach and educator, teaching physical education, kinesiology and sports medicine.

He retired from baseball in 1978, continuing as a professor in the Physical Education Department until 1991. In 1990, Stanek was a charter member of the university’s Athletic Hall of Fame committee, serving until 2006.

Stanek is survived by his wife Lorraine Stanek, St. Cloud; his son Kevin Stanek, Eagan; and his daughter Cinda Stanek, Juneau, Alaska.
