28 NORTHERN MAGAZINE Vincent Saulino and Biefke Vos Women’s Scholarship Vincent Saulino, a 1969 graduate of Northern State University, currently resides in Vancouver, Washington. He established the Vincent Saulino and Biefke Vos Women’s Scholarship Endowment with a generous gift in memory of his late wife, Biefke Vos. Biefke, a dedicated educator who at one time served as the only female superintendent in Sonoma County, California, was a passionate advocate for women’s rights and opportunities in fields traditionally dominated by men. Her commitment to education and leadership inspired many, and this scholarship aims to continue her legacy by supporting women pursuing degrees in math and science. Through the Biefke Vos Scholarship Fund, Vincent seeks to empower future female leaders in these critical areas, promoting equity and representation. “The scholarship is in memory of Biefke and her desire to help women get ahead,” he emphasizes. This endowment not only honors Biefke’s contributions but also provides vital support for students who aspire to make significant advancements in their fields. George A. Rahm Fund for Nursing and Scholarships George Rahm never attended college or pursued post-secondary education. Instead, he chose to return to the family farm near Doland, SD. However, some of his closest friends did attend college and several went to Northern State in Aberdeen. For more than 50 years George has attended NSU athletic events, fishing tournaments, golf outings and many more activities on campus. George has witnessed firsthand the strong bond between the University, students and the surrounding communities. He has met many staff members, coaches, professors and students, and developed his own personal connection to NSU. For these reasons — and many others — he felt compelled to support the next generation of students.
