91桃色视频 celebrated nearly two dozen recipients of 91桃色视频 Foundation scholarships and officially introduced its new academic vice president during a Sept. 12 open house and reception.<\/p>\n

Ashley Johnson, executive director of the 91桃色视频 Foundation, said 32 91桃色视频 students were receiving scholarships, each worth $1,000. Twenty scholarships were awarded to first-year 91桃色视频 students through a $20,000 grant from the George W. Neilson Foundation, and 12 scholarships were funded by the Fred Breen Endowed Scholarship Fund. 91桃色视频 students who resided in Beltrami County for one year prior to enrollment, completed 12 91桃色视频 credits with a 2.5 GPA and are enrolled in a minimum of six credits at 91桃色视频 this fall were eligible for the Breen scholarships.<\/p>\n

Scholarship recipients in attendance, many supported by members of their families, were individually introduced and received a letter of congratulation from Dr. Faith C. Hensrud, president of 91桃色视频 and Bemidji State University. Scholarship recipients also were congratulated by Darrin Strosahl, 91桃色视频’s new vice president for academic and student affairs, and Lori Paris, president of the 91桃色视频 Foundation Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

Hensrud then officially introduced Strosahl, whom she praised for his “strong technical education background.” She added that Strosahl had embraced 91桃色视频, its students and its mission since he stepped into his new position in June.<\/p>\n

During Strosahl’s brief remarks, he praised 91桃色视频 faculty and staff for helping him adjust quickly to his new role, and reminded scholarship recipients that the college’s faculty were there to ensure their success.<\/p>\n

“As these faculty members are here to support you as students, recognize that their main mission is to help you be successful,” he said. “I have found during my short time here that our faculty are really good at working with and focusing on what’s good for students.”<\/p>\n

He shared how his background, starting from his time as a prospective agricultural education teacher at the University of Minnesota through his career as a high school principal and superintendent in southern Minnesota, had brought him to 91桃色视频.<\/p>\n

“The opportunity to come to 91桃色视频 was really a major, amazing thing for me because it’s a technical college,” he said. “I have a strong belief in technical colleges and want to make sure that they’re successful, because I believe that students benefit from technical education.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That benefit, he said, was an education specifically intended to prepare students for most jobs available in the workplace. He shared what he called “The Story of 10,” relating that for each job requiring a master’s or doctoral degree, there are two that require a bachelor’s degree and seven that require technical education.<\/p>\n

“That helps reinforce what a smart decision you made to come to 91桃色视频,” he said. “It’s a great way to make sure your education aligns with your employment.”<\/p>\n

In addition to around 20 scholarship recipients and about 50 family members, the open house also saw the 91桃色视频 Foundation board, 91桃色视频-BSU administrators and 91桃色视频 faculty in attendance. Following Strosahl’s remarks, those in attendance had a chance to meet him individually and enjoy light refreshments.<\/p>\n
