12. Designed and carried out the Waldorf College Summit - a one day summit of stakeholders, Regents and Foundation Board members. Raised in cash and pledges $13 million.
13. We have set records for annual-fund giving in two of the last three years at Waldorf College.

EMPHASIS: Enrollment Management

1. Worked with several enrollment consulting firms over the years including Stamats, Hardwick-Day and Associates
2. Developed recruiting protocols at Augustana College and Waldorf College, using both traditional and non-traditional means (technology, home pages, texting and so on).
3. At both Augustana College and Waldorf College worked on systems for retaining students using data driven strategies (NSSE).

EMPHASIS: Legislative Involvement

1. Worked closely with legislators in North Dakota (both in-session and with interim committees) primarily on the higher education budget. Attended hearings, testified, and worked for the university system goals.
2. In Iowa, developed close relationships with legislators around the issues affecting higher education, particularly private higher education. Most of the work was around budgetary matters, in particular the Iowa Tuition Grant. Organized legislative forums on campus twice a year and participated in activities at the state capital during the legislative session.

EMPHASIS: Planning

1. Implemented Strategic Planning Initiatives - College strategic planning linked to fiscal management and institutional priorities is vitally important to achieving the desired goals and aspirations of the institution. I provided leadership for a campus-wide strategic planning effort that builds upon the shared fundamental values of the college. These planning efforts have included (at Augustana College):
   • The Augustana College Facilities Master Plan
   • The Augustana College Personnel Master Plan
   • The Augustana College Academic Master Plan
   • The Augustana College Library Master Plan
   • The Augustana College Technology Plan
   • The Augustana College Taskforce to implement the Academic Master Plan
2. Formed and led the Strategic Planning Taskforce at Waldorf College and developed the "Building to Tomorrow" plan. This plan produced six strategic initiatives, with 58 action tasks, an accountability matrix, a time line and an estimated cost for enacting the strategic plan. Driven by the shared fundamental values of the college, work here included the primary priorities of raising academic standards, promoting teaching excellence, increasing academic scholarship, promoting diversity and multicultural education, and enhancing service excellence.
3. At North Dakota State University, I chaired the College and University Academic Affairs Committee, Co-Chaired the University General education Reform Committee, numerous committee assignments across the university as the representative from the academic affairs office, on the Technology Committee for many years (helped plan our investment with the internet), and several system-wide (North Dakota University System) committees, e.g., Academic Affairs, Articulation and Transfer Credit Committee, Faculty Development Committee, and others.
4. Academic Building and Renovation: Helped with the improvement of learning facilities (student learning-centered focused campus). During the past thirteen years, I have been heavily involved in the planning, promotion and fund-raising for several new capital construction projects at Augustana College in which my staff and I have played a key role: The Madsen Center (social sciences), The Edith Mortenson Center (theatre arts), and the Humanities Center, as well as the buildings contained in the current "Lift High the Torch" campaign at Waldorf College, The Center for Faith and Reason (Chapel and performing arts center), Timberland Apartments (for senior students living on campus) and The Fitness Center, a large addition to our existing field house.

EMPHASIS: Marketing, Public Relations and Branding

1. Beginning in August of 2008, Waldorf College has started an intensive, 18 month marketing and branding effort. For our students and for the financial stability of the college, this year means we will create a distinctive market presence for the college, discovering ways to convey value (of the Waldorf College experience) through marketing, and discovering and implementing ways to improve the efficiency and focus of our advertising.
2. Our goals:
   • Establish a Marketing Department to support the needs of a baccalaureate institution
   • Focus the campus community's brand management efforts
   • Assist with Message Management regarding the Academic Restructure
   • To date at least three important lessons have been learned:
3. Waldorf has been many things to many people in its recent history. Many false starts have confused prospective students, alumni, staff, faculty and the community and created cynicism and confusion. The new brand direction has already started to energize our constituents with a single, coherent brand message and language.
4. The new brand direction is building upon strong relationships created at Waldorf and how they help create an engaging and meaningful life experience while in college and after. A new brand direction is being communicated and expressed with every touch point at the College.
5. Created an action/advisory group of alums (the "Brain Trust") to aid our marketing and branding efforts. We hope to benefit from their insight in a consulting role as we implement strategies to communicate our brand. Their functions:
   • Provide informed feedback regarding Waldorf's foundational branding document.
   • Offer instructive advice regarding implementation of message strategies.
   • Provide input regarding possible low cost / no cost strategies.
   • Contribute personal capital to assure positive outcomes for Waldorf College's branding efforts.

EMPHASIS: Specific Campus Issues

Diversity and Globalism

My accomplishments in the area of diversity have focused on increasing under represented faculty, staff and students, building an environment of inclusiveness, demonstrating a deep commitment to multicultural diversity, and promoting an understanding of how a global culture has impacted and enriched our lives. Intertwined with this is the critical need to recruit and retain under represented faculty, staff and students. Specific accomplishments:

• Established the Augustana College Diversity Committee and Task Force
• Resulted in the 1999-2000 diversity agenda for Augustana College
• Resulted in the first ever Augustana Diversity Conference, March 2000
• Resulted in a plan for diversity training for students and an expansion of diversity training for all members of the faculty
• Resulted in a commitment by the admissions office to actively pursue minority student recruiting

At Waldorf College we have consistently recruited from eight to ten percent of our student body from other countries. In addition, the college actively recruits persons of color and under-represented minorities resulting in a population of international students and students of color accounting for more that 20% of our total student population.

Faculty Development

Worked to provide faculty development and program improvement on campus - This effort included a program of gender equity salary initiatives for the faculty; an early retirement program for faculty; an academic program review process, increased the faculty academic research fund from zero to $50,000 annually, developed and had approved a new Faculty Grievance process.

International Programs

Germany, 1997. Purpose of the trip: Worked on ties to the International School of Potsdam (for student teaching possibilities), worked with the city of Potsdam for the Sister Cities Association, and met with officials from the University of Potsdam arranging for student and faculty exchange programs.

• Resulted in student teacher placements in Potsdam
• Resulted in the development of our Regents' Potsdam Program

Norway, 1999. Purpose of the trip: Worked on enhancing our connections to the University of Oslo Summer Program, resident programs at the state university in Lillehammer, and signed formal agreements for student exchange with the teachers' college in Trondheim.

Service and Service Learning

Created the Augustana College Service Learning Initiative

• Resulted in a successful grant proposal to support pilot project in service learning
• Resulted in the Summer 1999 and Summer 2000 Service-Learning Mini-Grant Program
• Resulted in all-day faculty seminars led by experts on service learning resulted in continuing efforts to enhance service learning (efforts include two more grant proposals for additional funding and work to create a service learning coordinator for the campus)

At Waldorf College, created the standing Committee on Vocation and Service - The Waldorf College Committee on Vocation and Service fosters an ethos of engagement, discernment and service through programmatic development on campus, with(in) the community of Forest City and with(in) distant communities.

Guided by the college's expectation that every student, faculty, and staff person within this academic community will be indelibly marked by the call to learn, live, and serve, the work of the CVS is rooted in a theological understanding of vocation, anchored in the interdependence of human communities both near and far, motivated by the transformative power of service, and driven by a pursuit of excellence.

To this end, the CVS intentionally and pro-actively encourages, empowers, and promotes service-based engagement beyond the self for the greater good - service-based engagement that cultivates growth in individual and communal responsibility for the needs of the neighbor. The major accomplishment to date of the CVS has been the Waldorf College 50 Days of Service project, now in its third year.

Also at Waldorf College is the "Go-Green Committee." I chair the committee. Started in August of 2008. Our theme this year is "Live Purple. Go Green." and our efforts will focus on environmentally friendly ways of serving. The college formed a Going Green Committee of staff and students to work with the Forest City School District to see what it could do to be more environmentally friendly.

Other Administrative Experience

Village Family Service Center, Fargo, ND: I served on the Board for six years and was Chairman of the Board for three years. Details: In my term as chair we designed and built a new building for this multi-state social service agency; I was deeply involved in non-profit budget development, close work with the endowment arm of the agency, the Village Foundation, as well as advocacy work with legislators and federal officials.

Family Studies Institute at NDSU: I was the founding director of this family service agency on the campus of NDSU. Primary administrative work was fund raising for the Institute as well as work with existing agencies for referral and program development.

Work within the North Dakota University System focused on system articulation, system funding and program development issues. North Dakota Extension Service: Focused on developing program linkages and support services for extension employees and their constituents across the state of North Dakota. Also served in an academic department fully linked with the extension service and participated in developing joint programming.

Legislative Experience: (North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa) Worked closely with individual members of the legislature, legislative committees around the issues of budgets, program development (human services) and higher education funding and programming.

Sioux Falls Area Foundation: Work focused on city-wide programming for youth.

Forest City, Iowa: "Grow Forest City" branding effort along with work with the Forest City Economic Development Authority (board member).
