Letter FROM THE PRESIDENT northern today 3 SEVERAL ISSUES AGO, in “Northern Today,” we shared our strategic plan for Northern State University. I am proud to report that thanks to solid execution of this plan, our fall headcount set new records for the university. We had an overall enrollment of 3,580 students this fall, including 408 new freshmen. As an outcome of that enrollment growth, on campus we are living with residence halls that are clearly over capacity. This has created a new set of challenges that must be addressed prior to fall 2012, and we are examining several possible housing solutions. We have also seen significant growth online here at NSU. Last year we had an online enrollment of 1,008 students, and this year we have 1,426 students taking classes online. This is an area that should continue to grow, as we are developing more online components of our classes and increasing our marketing for those course offerings. And the good news continues. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, we have made our WolfPACT scholarship even stronger. Not only is it the highest guaranteed scholarship offering in our region, it now offers more money to students when they need it most – during their junior and senior years. Finally, earlier this month I visited with all faculty and staff, highlighting some of these accomplishments and taking the opportunity to look ahead a bit. We have a great deal of forward momentum right now, in virtually all areas of our campus. Thanks to strong enrollment numbers, we currently have the opportunity to expand some offerings and more aggressively compete for sponsored research dollars. We are also continuing to fulfill our mission for the Center of Excellence in International Business by expanding our full-time international student base through additional student recruitment overseas. As the only institution in the state granting the bachelor’s degree in international business, this is a growth pattern that should certainly continue to help us for years to come. Let me close by publicly thanking our faculty and staff for their tireless hard work and dedication during these difficult state budgetary times. Without their efforts, I would have very little to share with you today. Go Wolves, “We had an overall enrollment of 3,580 students, including 408 new freshmen. On campus we are experiencing residence halls that are over capacity.” PRESIDENT JAMES M. SMITH “Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, we have made our WolfPACT scholarship even better.” WOLVES UPSET BUTLER Three-pointer at buzzer lifts NSU over Division I team The Northern State University men’s basketball team made history in Hoosierland in a moment straight out of the movies. The Wolves beat the Butler University Bulldogs – a Division I team that has finished second in the last two NCAA championships – in an exhibition game in Indianapolis on Nov. 2. The victory was clinched by a game-winning three-pointer from senior Alex Thomas. It was a triumph that mirrored the win in the 1986 film “Hoosiers” – part of which happened to be filmed in Hinkle Fieldhouse, where the Wolves were playing. Visit the NSU athletics website, nsuwolvesathletics.com, for more information. AS I LOOK AT THE CALENDAR, I have a hard time believing that our fall semester is almost over – inside this issue you will see just a few of the highlights from the past months. Please let me take a moment to share some of the other successes I have seen from across the campus community. Photograph courtesy of Ryan Hilgemann

CAMPAIGN UPDATE News NORTHERN 6 northern today “NORTHERN HAS HAD SUCH A TREMENDOUS INFLUENCE ON OUR ENTIRE FAMILY FOR OVER 100 YEARS.” THE MANY POSITIVE THINGS happening at Northern State University – such as enrollment and construction projects — make it a good time for a capital campaign, said Todd Jordre, president and CEO of the NSU Foundation. “People are really enthused about Northern,” Jordre said. The goal of the Northern Impact campaign is to raise $27.2 million by July 1, and fundraising just topped $26.7 million, he said. Some of the money raised will be used for the Barnett Center and other projects. But most will be used for the WolfPACT scholarship program, the largest guaranteed four-year scholarship in the Midwest. “The need for scholarships is so vital to the vibrancy of your campus,” Jordre said. Donations have come from a wide variety of people, including alumni, friends, faculty, staff and parents. Jordre said 100 percent of the NSU Foundation board and senior staff are contributors, which sends a strong signal to alumni and friends. Two people who have been key in the fundraising drive, he said, are Campaign Chairman Jim Koehler and NSU President James Smith, who has provided tremendous leadership. Foundation officials have traveled throughout the United States holding alumni events to raise money. Jordre said more events are planned this winter, including to Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Northern Impact campaign started four and a half years ago. Previously, the foundation’s largest fundraising goal was $7 million, Jordre said. “So we feel very good about the progress we have made,” he said. Investing in the future THE KRUEGER FAMILY has a long-standing history with Northern State University that spans more than a century. Over the years, members of the Krueger clan have attended Northern Normal and Industrial School, Northern State Teachers College and Northern State University. They are now in their fifth generation as students and are proud to say that they have been a part of the Northern community for the last 107 years. Annie (Lundquist) Krueger was the first member of the family to attend Northern. Annie, whose parents’ homestead was near Wetonka, was from a family of three girls and two boys. All three girls in the family became teachers, while one boy worked as an attorney and the other a doctor. Annie received her teaching certificate from Northern Normal and Industrial School in 1904. Annie’s daughter-in-law, Evelyn Krueger, received her bachelor’s degree in 1970 and master’s degree in 1975 fromNorthern. She did not begin her college career until age 48. Upon graduating, Evelyn went on to teach third grade in Aberdeen for 20 years. Evelyn’s son, Gerald Krueger of Aberdeen, earned his bachelor’s degree in 1957 and master’s degree in 1967 from Northern State Teachers College. He taught and coached for five years before spending the rest of his career as an airline pilot for Northwest Airlines. Gerald’s daughter, Cheryl (Krueger) Kolb, also from Aberdeen, was the fourth generation of the family to attend Northern, receiving her bachelor’s degree in 1983. She was the first member of the family to graduate with a degree from what Northern is known as today, Northern State University. Christopher Kolb, Cheryl’s son, has just begun his freshman year at Northern. He is the fifth generation of Kruegers to attend Northern. Kolb, an elementary education major, said his family’s history with the university is the reason he is attending NSU. “Northern has had such a tremendous influence on our entire family for over 100 years,” Gerald Krueger said. “The lineage of Kruegers has been so fortunate to have the benefit of the noteworthy learning at such a quality institution. To all of us, Northern is the best.” The Krueger clan’s Northern connection Family features five generations of NSU students
northern today 7 News NORTHERN THEY MADE THE DECISION on a Monday in July, Carmen said, and by Wednesday, they had already signed a contract to rent a twin home in Aberdeen. The Meyers are thrilled that their Prairiewood house will benefit NSU, which has been wonderful to them. “It’s been like a second home to us,” Carmen said. And while others commend the generous act, Carmen said it was actually selfish – donating the house made their lives easier. Her husband has trouble with steps and had recently fallen and hurt his left leg. Don Meyer lost part of his left leg in a serious car accident in September 2008. The couple’s daughter Brooke Napier was visiting from Tennessee and told her mom they couldn’t stay in the house. But Carmen said there was so much she would have had to do to get the house ready for sale. Since her husband’s accident, she hadn’t been able to keep up with household maintenance such as yard work. They also travel so much that it would have been difficult to have their home on the market. That’s when their daughter suggested giving the house away. The Meyers’ other children, Jerry Meyer and Brittney Touchton, who also live in the Nashville area with their families, agreed. The couple decided they would love to give the house to Northern. The Meyers had lived in the home for 12 years. While they don’t miss the house, Carmen said they do miss the wonderful neighbors they had when living there. DIVINE INTERVENTION CAME INTO PLAY IN CARMEN AND COACH DON MEYER’S DECISION TO DONATE THEIR HOME TO NORTHERN STATE UNIVERSITY. But the new home has been a blessing, Carmen said. There are no steps. They don’t have to worry about yard work or snow removal. Along with simplifying their lives, Carmen said, donating the home was also a way for them to give back after receiving so much help from others throughout their lives. That includes when the couple was living in Utah years ago. They had two babies, and a fire in their apartment building left them temporarily without a home. Friends from church let the Meyers live with them for two weeks until they could get their feet back on the ground, she said. The Aberdeen community, too, was wonderful after her husband’s accident. The donation was another way to say thank you for all that people have done. Along with donating the house, they also gave away a lot of household items to local organizations such as Safe Harbor, The Salvation Army, New Beginnings and Roncalli Nearly New. They also donated a collection of children’s books to O.M. Tiffany Elementary School. They wanted the house donation to specifically go to the Barnett Center project. The facility houses Don Meyer Court, where Coach Meyer in 2009 became the winningest men’s basketball coach in NCAA history. They have a contract on the house, she said, and a half lot already sold separately from the rest of the property for $15,000. Rumors that the donation and renting their new home means they are moving away are untrue, Carmen said. She grew up in Colorado and Don in Nebraska, so living in South Dakota, they are closer to their parents than when they lived in Nashville. “We have absolutely no plans at all to go anywhere,” she said. GivingBack “It was really a God thing because it all just fell into place,” Carmen Meyer said. “It was obviously meant to be.”
8 northern today “IT’S GOING VERY WELL,” SMITH SAID. “THEY HAVE BEEN MOVING VERY QUICKLY.” BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE WORK ON THE Barnett Center is expected to be finished by the end of February, and the project is on schedule, said NSU Athletic Director Bob Olson. The $3.2 million project, funded by private donations, will include a two-story, roughly 24,000-square-foot addition. The first floor will include locker rooms, a wrestling room and offices, and the top floor will include a wellness center. The extra space is very much needed, Olson said. “It’s going to be a great facility,” he said. Right now, steel and concrete work is being done, he said. Workers hope to get the building enclosed soon to concentrate on News NORTHERN A groundbreaking was held on Wednesday, September 21, for the expansion to the NSU Student Center. The $6 million expansion is scheduled to be completed in 2012. NSU students approved an increase in student fees to pay for the expansion. Construction began in August. This fall a group of special friends of Northern State University gathered at the Barnett Center. All pictured have had an impact in naming a part of this building.

The project benefits the university and the community, Olson said. For the Student Center, NSU students wanted a fun, inviting place that had food and coffee, said Rhoda Smith, vice president for student affairs. “The students really wanted a place that felt like it was theirs,” she said. The new Student Center will bring dining services under one roof and expand dining options. The project includes a two-story Student Center addition and renovation to the facility as well as a second-floor addition on the NSU bookstore. The project is set to be completed in fall 2012. “It’s going very well,” Smith said. “They have been moving very quickly.” A new information desk will open spring semester and will include Java City Express, Smith said. This smaller version of Java City will offer brewed coffee and tea; grab and go foods; and bakery goods during construction. When the project is complete, Java City will be replaced by Einstein Bros. Bagels, which will offer an expanded menu while still offering coffee and espresso drinks, Smith said. The $6 million project is funded by student fees. Smith said students understood they were investing in Northern and in the future. “The students really looked at this as their legacy,” she said. The NSU Student Center and Barnett Center projects both started this summer. “THE STUDENTS REALLY LOOKED AT THIS AS THEIR LEGACY,”
News NORTHERN “IT’S BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO BE A PART OF SUCH A GREAT UNIVERSITY,” OLSON SAID. “It has been an absolute pleasure for me to work with Bob Olson in his role as athletic director at NSU,” said NSU President Jim Smith. “Bob is studentcentered and student-focused. He cares deeply about the student experience and is dedicated to making every athlete as successful as possible. Bob has assembled an outstanding set of coaches, and those coaches, in turn, have stressed athletics and academics simultaneously.” Olson has served the Wolves in the role of athletic director for the past 13 years, taking over the position in 1999 for the retired Jim Kretchman. Prior to that, he coached the NSUmen’s basketball team for 14 seasons, taking the Wolves to national prominence on both the NAIA and NCAA Division II levels. Olson amassed a career record of 305-129 and coached his players to 27 all-conference, five NAIA All-America, one NCAA II First Team Allnorthern today 9 OLSON’S RETIREMENT marks the end of a 37-year career at NSU that saw him fill the roles of student, athlete, professor, coach and administrator. “It’s been a privilege to be a part of such a great university,” Olson said. “I am honored to have been given the opportunity to work with many fine folks at Northern State over the years. I feel our athletic department is as strong as it has ever been and the timing is right to turn the reins over to someone new.” Olson to retire following conclusion of 2011-12 year NORTHERN STATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR BOB OLSON WILL RETIRE AT THE END OF THE 2011-12 ACADEMIC YEAR IN MAY. America and eight Academic All-America honors. Under his direction, the Wolves made five NAIA national tournament appearances, including championship national runnerup runs in 1994 and 1995. The program’s success at the NAIA level translated seamlessly to the NCAA Division II stage, as the Wolves earned national tournament berths in each of their first four seasons under the NCAA umbrella. Those postseason runs were highlighted by a North Central Region championship and Elite Eight berth in the 1997-98 season. An Aberdeen native, Olson attended Northern State from 1973-1977 and played collegiate basketball under the legendary coach Bob Wachs. Olson was recognized as the recipient of the Kretchman Coaching Award by the NSU Foundation at the 2011 Gypsy Day celebration. “I wish Bob well in retirement,” Smith said. “I know we’ll continue to have his support and his commitment to Wolves athletics. Personally, I will miss his insights and his supportive spirit. He has been a tremendous part of NSU as both a coach and athletic director. He will be missed!” A national search for a replacement will begin immediately. “I am honored to have been given the opportunity to work with many fine folks at Northern State over the years.”
News NORTHERN 10 northern today Celebrating diversity NORTHERN STATE UNIVERSITY promoted acceptance and awareness at a celebration of about 20 cultures that included international cuisine and entertainment. Culturefest, held Nov. 4 at the Barnett Center, drew people from the community as well as around 400 area high school students. The event, spearheaded by NSU’s Office of International Programs and Multicultural Affairs office, was sponsored by Molded Fiber Glass, Sanford Health and Avera St. Luke’s Hospital. Also as part of Diversity Week, the annual NSU Fall Powwow was Nov. 5, sponsored by the NSU Native American Student Association. The hope is to make Culturefest an annual event, said Stacey Schmidt, international student adviser. Culturefest had two sessions: one for high school students who take foreign language classes through the NSU Center for Statewide E-Learning, and one for the public. Fang Liu, 23, a graduate student from China, was excited to learn about the other countries at Culturefest. Liu said she has felt accepted by people in Aberdeen. “They are kind and friendly,” she said. ‘Phantom’ packs theater Northern State University Theatre brought a world-famous production to Aberdeen in October – and gave a world-class performance. “NSU THEATRE GIVES ABERDEEN AND THE SURROUNDING AREA ANOTHER THING TO BE PROUD OF.” Cory Niles as the “Phantom” and Michelle Monroe as “Christine” THE CAST of 43 and orchestra of 27 performed “Phantom of the Opera” to sold out or near sold out crowds Oct. 19-22 at the Johnson Fine Arts Center. “It’s awesome to see the community supporting the theater department,” said junior Yvonne Freese, one of the two students to play the lead female role. “It really means a lot to us.” Putting on a show of that magnitude requires a lot of work and a lot of commitment, but the cast and crew rose to the occasion, said Daniel Yurgaitis, director of theatre. Michelle Monroe, the other student to play “Christine,” said her favorite part of doing the show was getting to work with the rest of the cast and watch the show blossom from broken lines into a great performance. Freese, 20, a music and musical theater major from Lanesboro, Minn., said being in the play was like a dream. Senior Cory Niles also said playing the “Phantom” was a dream role. “I hope I get to do it again,” said Niles, 24, a senior musical theater major from Gettysburg. “Phantom” was Niles’ final NSU performance. “It’s kind of bittersweet,” he said. Next up for NSU Theatre is “[title of show]” Dec. 2-3, followed by “The Liar” Feb. 15-18 and “Xanadu” April 11-14. Yurgaitis said NSU functions as a regional arts center for the university community and the entire region. “NSU Theatre gives Aberdeen and the surrounding area another thing to be proud of,” said Monroe, 22, a vocal and instrumental music education major from Pierre. “The caliber of the productions have only improved during my time at NSU, and I am confident that the program will continue to grow and flourish.”
