Te question: How many Lutherans does it take to change a ligh

Te answer: Change?

What seems to be true o many Lutherans may be true o most pe

without regard to belie or creed. During the past year Concordia

leadership team and I spent a lot o time studying, discussing and

implementing change. One o the things we learned is this: peop

dont resist change, they resist loss. Even when people see with cla

and passion a uture lled with gain and progress, weve learned th

see with equal passion the losses they are being asked to sustain.

Adapting to a new environment requires experiments, new discov

and adjustments. It requires learning new ways and changing attit

values and behaviors until the change is internalized and owned

(Leadership on the Line, Linsky & Heietz, 2002).

Tis issue o the Broadcaster contains numerous examples o how

Concordia, our alumni, students, aculty and staf are adapting

to a changing environment. Our university-wide vision statement

is a reminder to each o us who serve and support this institution

that Concordia must continually adapt to its changing environme

i we are to ulll our mission in these dynamic days o the 21st cen

Preparing students in and or the 21st century also calls us to help

students learn how to adapt to a changing environment.

As administrators, aculty and staf who are working to prepare th

next generation, we can teach and model successully only what w

have learned and practiced ourselves. As you read this edition o t

Broadcaster, I hope you observe, as I have, that while we continue

to adapt to our changing environment, Concordias essence, our

mission, has not changed. Nor will it!

Tis is an exciting time to serve and support Concordia! As 2012 be

I am deeply grateul or the many riends and alumni who support

our students aithully and generously. Our God, who changes not,

is blessing your gits and prayers in marvelous ways. We are adapting

to our changing environment and, through your ongoing support

with Gods abundant blessings, Concordia will be even better equip

in the uture to prepare students or the church and world than it is

May God bless you richly with His grace upon grace in the

New Year ahead!

Brian L. Friedrich

Help and hope in JoplinRev Greg Mech, known as Joplins disaster pastor, shares his experience o survivinga deadly tornado, responding to community needs and looking to the uture

On May 22, 20, one o the nations deadliest tornadoesripped through Joplin, Mo, destroying over 9,000 homes

and other buildings and claiming lives Although thedamage knocked most o Joplin down, among those letstanding was Pastor Greg Mech o Immanuel LutheranChurch, alumnus and ormer Concordia chaplainand proessor

At frst I wasnt sure o the nature o the storm, Mechsaid, recalling the aternoon the twister touched down Hewas alone at home in his parsonage playing a video gamewhen he heard a warning siren go o Since Missouri otenexperiences tornadoes, Mech ignored the early warning,determined to beat the next level o his video game

When a second siren sounded, Mech looked out thewindow and saw it was dark on one side o the house andlight on the other He dropped the game and took shelter

Many o Joplins homes do not have basements because thetown is located in a ormer mining area I grabbed a bookand went into the hall

As the winds increased, Mech realized the gravity o whatwas happening He remembers noticing the walls moving asi they were breathing He remembers praying or saety: hisown, his wies, his church amilies and his communitys Heremembers singing the e Deum

I wanted to go out praising the God who had given megood lie, Mech said A sense o calm came over me

as the roo o the house came oTe tornado winds were estimated to be over 200 mph,peaking at 20 mph Te path o the tornado stretched mthan a mile wide Te storm increased in intensity as it macross the city o Joplin, leaving attened houses, debarktrees, mangled vehicles and destroyed buildings in its wa

When the winds subsided and Mech let his home, he wamazed at the extent o the damage Mech described tsurrounding landscape as scoured It looked like picto Nagasaki ater the atomic bomb was dropped on it,

Mech recalled It was surrealistic

O the approximately 22,000 homes in Joplin about 7,were destroyed or damaged According to the NationaWeather Service, emergency managers reported damagto 7% o Joplin Communication lines were cut, and wand electric services were down

As Mech surveyed the damage, he saw people wanderinear the church, shocked rom what had just occurredwelcomed everyone he saw to the parsonage and triedto help in any way he could According to Mech, travelthrough Joplin was nearly impossible because streets wlittered with debris

At the time o the tornado, Mechs wie was working at thehospital in town Mech would have to wait fve and a halhours beore he ound out shewas unharmed via a text romhis son in Las Vegas: Mom OKDoing triage

When the immediate danger

had passed, Mech knew he hadto check on the welare o themembers o his congregationand meet the needs o thecommunity I needed torespond with compassionand care We needed to meetthe physical and spiritualneeds and then deal with thefnancial needs, said Mech

One o the most pressing

problems was sanitation Techurch building had littledamage, so they opened itto the community in the daysollowing the storm A signin ront advertised clean restrooms Because at the timethere was no running water, Paul Doner, an eighth-grader atthe Martin Luther Lutheran School, volunteered to take rainwater in waste baskets and manually ush the toilets He didthat or six and a hal hours straight, said Mech It is amazing

Another need was eeding the residents and volunteers

o congregation and community members, organized hmeals three times a day or three months People rom

away as 90 miles brought Later bag lunches were pro

Donations and volunteers hcontinued to roll into Joplinand recovery has begun T

blessings have never desertMech said

ools worth $0,000 weredonated to the communityStanley Black Decker to hin the rebuilding process AnImmanuel Lutheran congremember purchased a actorthe wood-working equipmein it Te building was givento the church to use to stor

donated items, and the wooworking equipment was givto the local high schoolto reestablish industrialeducation classes

From October 9-2, ABCs Extreme Makeover: HomeEdition was in Joplin to build seven homes in seven daMembers o Immanuel Lutheran staed the tool traileraround the clock, making sure the more than 0,000volunteers had what they needed to get the job doneTe program will air in January o 202

Immanuel LutheranChurch is on the edgeof the tornados pathand was sparedfor a purpose.

DOG BREAH

When devastation hits, God opens opportuto minister in many dierent ways For themembers o Immanuel Lutheran Church anMartin Luther Lutheran School comort camsoulul eyes, cold noses and long tails

Jackson and Louie, a pair o golden retrievercomort dogs, joined the sta o the churchschool courtesy o Lutheran Church Charitishortly ater the tornado Pastor Mech repothe dogs are extremely helpul in working wvictims o the storm When people pet thethey relax, and pretty soon they start to talkwhats really bothering them

Beginning when they were just three monthJackson and Louie underwent nearly nine mo training to learn how to unlock doors, ca

in their mouths and ip a light switch Althothey are canines o many talents, Jackson anserve mostly by allowing people to pet themhug them

About 20 handlers in Joplin have been trainto work with the dogs, including Pastor Greand Martin Luther teacher Charlotte Rober

And in case anyone orgets these dogs are wodogs, both Louie and Jackson have their own

business cards, email addresses and Faceboo

As part o the ongoing work to rebuild Joplin, ImmanuelLutheran has launched RANSFORM JOPLIN, a non-proftorganization and strategic plan or a new ministry tocontinue transorming neighborhoods and lives in Jesusname Teir website shares, Immanuel Lutheran Churchis on the edge o the tornados path and was spared or apurpose Te people o Immanuel sprang immediately

into action, providing or the needs o the neighborhoodand community

Tere is still much work to do in Joplin Mech reports thatmany o the volunteers and those serving in ministryat Joplin are alumni or ormer sta o Concordia University,Nebraska Everything is always changing, reported Mech,saying that i the Concordia community wants to supportthe rebuilding ministry in Joplin, the best thing to do ischeck the website [wwwtransormingjoplincom] Ourvolunteer and donation needs are always up-to-date there

Tere are signs o progress When Mech discusses Joplins

recovery, he describes traveling down blocks leveled by thetornado and seeing just one amily starting to rebuild, abare house rame jutting out rom the horizon You can seehope and need in one glance, explains Mech

Ater a disaster like the Joplin tornado, Mech eels it isespecially important to reect on the word o James aboutperseverance and wisdom I you can stand, says Mech,

you reach or those who have allen down

It is a thrilling time to be a pastor

Balancing life and learnin

As our lives become increasingly inused with technologyand as the desire or convenience increases, manyuniversities have added online programming to theiracademic catalog, allowing students to earn a degree romthe comort o their homes, oces and local coee shops

Looking ahead to the uture o education, Concordia has beenworking to expand its own online oerings, giving studentsthe ability to earn a degree without stepping into a classroom

We have been progressively expanding our online oeringsor several years, said Dr Renea Gernant, programdirector or gerontology and human services Many o the

gerontology courses, a number o general education courses,graduate teacher certifcation courses, several degreecompletion electives, some MBA courses and a large numbero graduate education courses have been available onlineor some time Until recently, we didnt have the ocialpermissions to oer programs exclusively online

Vice president or enrollment, student lie and athletics ScottSeevers expanded on this Te recent approval rom theHigher Learning Commission to our Substantive ChangeRequest or Distance Delivery allows us to oer up to 20%o Concordias programs in a ully online ormat

For some students involved in Concordias graduateprograms, these online classes may be their only optionas is the case with master o education student Shawna

As a ull-time teacher with two part-time jobs, the onliprogram at Concordia gave me the exibility that I neeto balance school, work and amily, said ate, a seventgrade science teacher and single mother

For ate, taking classes on campus is not a viable optionI reside in Omaha, and I would not be able to make theweekly commute to campus aking classes online allowme to work around my busy schedule At times it gets

challenging; however, I balance it by working on myhomework while my daughter is working on hers It wowell or me

Another student reaping the benefts o Concordias onprograms is Becky Romshek who is currently pursuing gerontology degree

For Romshek, a case manager with the Area Agencyon Aging, a wie and a mother o two, it is the exibilito online classes that allows her to continue her schoo

I am married We have a fve-year-old and an monthold Balancing school, along with work, and activitieso my amily is tough at times, but with the online classes,I can complete the assignments once the girls go to bedor on weekends It allows me to work ull-time, take myfve-year-old to dance and gymnastics, and do amily

activities Te online class schedules allow me to completemy masters and not miss any amily timeI something comes up with work or home lie, theproessors allow time to deal with issues that ariseTe exibility is greatly appreciated

Concordias newest degrees which can be obtained solelythrough online study include the Master in Human Servicesand the Master o Public Health

Te development o the Master o Public Health onlineoering is meant to meet a growing need to increase thenumber o people entering the public health feld

It is apparent that this Master o Public Health program

is not only timely but is very much needed to rebuild thepublic health workorce and meet the health needs othe US and global population, said Dr Jennier Janousek,director o the Master o Public Health program

Additionally, the research shows projections or long-termgrowth and viability, said Janousek, citing a report by theAssociation o Schools o Public Health which says morethan 20,000 Public Health workers will be needed by 2020

O more than 00,000 current government public healthworkers, approximately one-quarter o the current public

sector workorce will be eligible to retire by 202

Te development o the human services program also imeant to meet a growing societal need Gernant sharehuman services workers work with about one in ten peacross a variety o demographic groups By providing dcare to vulnerable populations, human service providemake valuable contributions to our overall quality o li

and the economies o our communities, said Gernanttraining o human services workers has not kept up witdemands o the position Te US Bureau o Labor Statwebsite indicates that As the elderly population continto grow, the demand or social and human service assis

will expand

Concordias vision or 20 includes a goal to grow andexpand our inuence to diverse populations, said Seev

Tat means serving people that we cannot reach todayand we believe that online education will help us reach

some o those olks

Learning in the Sandhills


16/56

16featue

Te best educators have always been able to bridge the

gap between the classroom and the real world For Dr JoelHelmer, chair o the social sciences department, bridgingthat gap means taking an annual adventure across Nebraska,complete with a treasure hunt

Each all since 200, Helmer has taken his physical geographyand geology class to the Sandhills to show students theunique physical geography o Nebraska, especially at theOgallala Aquier

Te aquier is one o the largest in the world, and theSandhills are the largest dune ormation in the westernhemisphere, said Helmer Te region is extremely beautiul,

containing a great diversity o ora and auna, naturalwetlands and a unique cattle ranching based cultureraveling into this region provides a great opportunityor experiential learning

During their adventure, students spend three days travelingand staying at the Double R Guest Ranch, a working cattleranch in the heart o the Sandhills near Mullen, Neb,in Cherry County Tey experience the physical processesthat created the landorms frsthand, then work togetherto create an original educational video rom the picturesand videos they collect during the trip

Junior Matt Wingert recalled how it took almost eight

to make the 27 mile trip (a little over double the amoo time it would take to drive the speed limit straightthrough) Dr Helmer had created a packet includinginormation about almost every town along the way, athe journey included many interesting stops

Students got to practice their treasure hunting skills byparticipating in geocachinga world-wide outdoor trehunting game Students used global positioning systemdevices to locate hidden objects (geocaches) whose loccoordinates are posted on the Internet In their pursuitto locate the geocaches this year, students used GPS de

to tap into almost a dozen positioning satellitesTere were boxes about the size o an ammo box hiddesaid Wingert describing the geocaches When we locatethem and opened them, we ound a rolled up piece o pWe added our names to the people who had ound the beore us and then reburied the box It was pretty cool

Dana Zluticky also thought the geocaching was intriguWe planted our own geocache on the ranch on Mondamorning beore we let Its exciting to think that otherpeople will go looking or what we let behind, and thealways be something there to remind us o our trip

Once the group arrived at the Double R Ranch, they hikedand explored extensively Te group also took time to helpPat Bridges, the owner o the Double R Guest Ranch whereHelmers group has stayed the last three years

Helmer explains, [Pats] husband, Jim, passed away lastDecember ater a tragic accident on the ranch Earlier this

year Pat broke her leg and then later her back She is alielong resident o the Sandhills and is just a wonderul ladywho welcomes my students to her amazing ranch each allAter hearing about her tough year, I asked my students ithey would like to help her out by doing some work on theranch during our stay Tey said You bet

Te students took a break rom their exploring to paintthe git shop and the roo o the calving shed Pat was sograteul she gave us a thank you card with cash inside Testudents decided to donate the money to Concordiasscholarship und in Pats name

o complete their adventure the class went tanking on theMiddle Loup River and studied the interdunal wetlandsTe trip down the river in a large, repurposed metal tankprovided an especially ond memory or Helmer

Te tanking trip down the Middle Loup River wasthe highlight o the trip Tis group o students wasadventurousjumping o the cut banks into the river,swimming, climbing and hiking Te unniest thing thathappened was when Dana Zluticky decided to get outo our tank and wade She thought we were in shallow water,but when she stepped out o the tank into the icy water she

went completely under When she suraced her eyes werewide open! We all laughed and laughed, Helmer shared

Tat laughter seems to be indicative o the bond that wascreated in the class rom the adventure

It was really un to get to see everyone in such a dierentsetting, Zluticky said It was good to relax and have someun while exploring the things in real lie that we werelearning about in the classroom

Wingert agreed Te whole dynamic in the class haschanged since the trip We are interacting much more

And the learning that took place is apparent As unnyas it sounds, its almost hard to believe that the things welearn about in class are real, shared Zluticky Seeing themwith my own eyes really made the things we talked aboutin class make more sense

Te whole trip was a learning experience, Wingert saidAnd it was nice that we could tie service into itthat wecould make a dierence

Donning a very important shirtOn Concordias campus Kevin Potratz is known or twothings: his uncanny ability to fx computer problems and hisondness or Hawaiian shirts

But theres more to Kevin than an anity or tech and a loveo ower prints Hes also ond o another shirt, the one thatdesignates him as the Boy Scouts o America scoutmastero roop 2

Potratz has been passionate about scouting since hejoined as a cub scout in the second grade Now he seesparticipation in the scouts as a way to give back to hiscommunity As an adult I have the opportunity to shapeyoung boys into young men through scouting, he said

An Eagle Scout, evidence o Potratzs accomplishmentsduring his twelve years as a boy scout in Wyoming nowsit with his achievements as an adult in scouting asembroidered knot insignias on his scoutmaster shirt Its ashirt he wears with pride

Tat pride is especially evident as Potratz talks about hiscurrent work with youth and the vision o Boy Scoutso America One o the nations largest and most prominentvalues-based youth development organizations, Boys Scoutsstrives to provide programs or young people that buildcharacter, train them in the responsibilities o citizenshipand develop personal ftness

Its not about me, Potratz stresses A Boy Scout troopis boy-led Tis means the boys decide what to do Temeetings are planned and led by the boys Scouting usesactivities to teach the boys leadership skills Tats what its

all about We are shaping boys to be citizens and leadersTe activities in which Potratzs scouts have been involvedare diverse Tey have camped, white water rated, hikedto mountain peaks and carried the colors in the SewardFourth o July parade Most recently Potratz organized aMerit Badge University on Concordias campus

Almost two hundred boy scouts aged -7 rom acrosseastern Nebraska gathered or the inaugural Merit BadgeUniversity Te event allowed scouts to work on meritbadges they wouldnt normally have a chance to obtain

Te goal was to get the boys to begin badges Concordia haunique expertise or acilities to provide, said Potratz Wheelse are they going to be able to throw a pot on a potterswheel in the morningand blow stu upin chemistry in theaternoon? Concordias

resources, both humanand physical, areunique We were ableto provide exposureto a wide rangeo topics that mostscouts cannot fndin their home town

Most o the instructionoered to the scouts was providedby Concordia aculty roops were given the opportunity

to work on badges in 2 dierent skill areas such ascitizenship, nuclear science, graphic arts, geocaching andpublic speaking

Potratz elt the event was a great success, and plans are in tworks or next years Merit Badge University But Potratz isquick to explain that earning badges isnt what boy scoutinis all about

Te goal o our activities is teaching leadership skills, Potrasaid Advancement in rank, ultimately becomingan Eagle Scout, is an outcome o an individual scouts growin leadership and involvement in the activities

Right now Potratz is looking orward to uture activitieswith his troop, including the 20 National Jamboree in WeVirginia, and to helping guide adolescents into adulthood

God has given me some gits that allow me to interact welwith adolescent boys I want to use those gits and witnessmy Christian values through my actions It is a way or meto give back and to make an investment in our uture

She touched a part o me that released

a ountain o creativity I did not realize was

there, shared Sharon Nelsen o her teacher

and mentor artist Sister Corita Kent.

A Joyous Protest: Te Graphic Art

o Sister Corita, a gallery show celebrating

Kents work, was on display this allat the Marxhausen Gallery o Art

on Concordias campus.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the

Marxhausen hosted a panel discussion

regarding theology, art and the evolving

role o women in each. Nelsen, who

now teaches adult courses at St. Patricks

Church in Elkhorn, Neb., shared her

experiences studying under Kent

in the summer o 1960. Other members

o the panel included Father John Foldao St. Gregory the Great Seminary

in Seward, Neb., who spoke about the

theology o Mary in relation to Catholic

and Lutheran doctrine, and Seward

resident Esther Pabe, who discussed

womens roles in the church.

Kent became known or her colorul

serigraphs that highlighted political

issues in the 1960s. She served as head

o the art department at the now-closed

Immaculate Heart College, a private

Catholic institution in Los Angeles.

Ater leaving the Immaculate Heart

order in 1968, Kent ocused her art

on raising awareness o social justice.

Nelson recalled how Kent taught her

students to challenge the precedence

set by those beore them. Tey were

encouraged to experience art instead

o simply learn about it. Kents own art

combined text rom the Bible and pop

culture songs and poems with elements

o graphic design, something nearly

unheard o until her time.

She gave me permission to be dierent,

irregular, creative, innovative and

enthusiasticand to be joyous in that,

said Nelsen.

Te works o Reinhold Marxhausen, Concordia art proessor

emeritus who passed away in April 2011, were the subject

o the exhibit Do You See What I See? A ribute to Reinhold

Marxhausen in the gallery that bears his name.

According to James Bockelman, Marxhausen Gallery director

and Concordia art proessor, the exhibit celebrates the

person, career and reputation o Reinhold Marxhausen.

Ater establishing the art program at Concordia in 1952,

Marxhausen improved, enhanced and promoted art within

the church and world in his roles as both a proessional artist

and an educator.

Te title or the exhibition is taken rom one o Marxhausens

slide lectures oten used in the classroom and or the public.

His emphasis was to encourage people to discover the

exceptional within the common ordinary events o the day.

Marxhausens creativity was centered in the Concordia

classroom where he taught lessons learned rom his

studio experience, said Bockelman. Much o the artwork

he created was a result o his relationship between the

classroom and studio.

Do You SeeWhat I See?

o open the exhibit, Marxhausens colleagues Jack Duen

William Wolram, Donald Dynneson, Steve Wake and

Norman Geske, the director emeritus o the Sheldon

Memorial Museum in Lincoln, joined Marxhausens orm

students Arlen Meyer and Edna Duensing to reect on h

contributions as a teacher, as a Nebraska artist and as a

leader within the Seward community.

Trough workshops, lectures and lms Reinhold Marxh

became known as an innovative and inuential arts edu

throughout the state o Nebraska, the Lutheran Church

and the nation at large, said Bockelman. Marxhausens

artwork, educational writings and related material have

published, exhibited and collected widely.

Womens soccer reaches new heights in 20

Beore the 2011 season Concordia womens soccer coach Lisa

White set a loty goal or her team. Tere is a history

o our teams running into a amiliar wall, a wall that says we

will not advance in postseason play, remarked White. Tis

team ully intends to destroy that wall.

As it turned out, the Bulldogs aced more than just the

challenge o advancing in

postseason play this year. Tree

seniors and key team members,

Mallorie Blanckthe Bulldogs

leading scorer, Mia Pauluhn

a back line leader and Jamie

Sanchezwho was second

in goals and assists, suered

serious injuries that kept them

on the sidelines or a majority

o the season.

While the loss o key players

has a tendency to derail teams,

White didnt allow the injuries

to become an excuse. Tere

was no other option, remarked White. We had goals

to accomplish, and they were to be pursued passionately

by the team regardless o the active roster. Tis team holds

the concept o amily in the highest regard, and this was a

response o a amily.

Te injuries had little eect on our tactile strategy, she

explained. I the injuries had any impact on our team,

it was a strengthening o our amily, and it drove our team

to succeed or those players who would no longer be able

to compete. As a coaching sta, we like to think that we are

developing a trait in our players that will strive to overcome;

players and people that will choose to strive in unavorablesituations rather than sit in a puddle o helplessness.

Te Bulldogs rose to meet Whites tough expectations, going

9-9-1 overall, 6-4 in conerence play and earning the number

our seed in the GPAC tournament.

On Nov. 3 Concordia hosted th seed Dakota Wesleyan

in the quarternal round o the GPAC tournament in what

ended up to be the most exciting game o the season. Ater

regulation and two overtime periods, the Bulldogs and igers

were tied at one goal, orcing a shootout.

We ound ourselves in amiliar ground as that match m

into overtime, said White. It was our th overtime

o the season, which really played into our hands, preve

anxiety rom ever setting in. Te shootout was new terr

or us, and the only thought I can recall having was Yo

do this Dogs!

During the shootout, senior goalk

Ariel Harris made a pair o key sav

giving senior midelder Kelly Ross

chance to deliver the game-winni

goal or Concordia. With the 4-3 w

the Bulldogs advanced to the sem

where they ell to top-seeded Has

College 3-1.

Coach White discussed the impor

o the teams rst-ever playo win

this point we really dont know w

the impact o getting that win wil

although I am certain it will be lon

lasting. At the very least, it provid

our players with afrmation o the

belie in themselves to achieve.

As or individual accomplishments, Blanck and Ross ear

second team All-GPAC recognition. Blanck led the team

in goals scored and kicked three game-winning goals du

the year. Ross had just one goal but contributed a team

six assists on the season. Harris, Sanchez, Rachel Gordon

Molly Humlicek all received honorable mention All-GPA

recognition. Blanck and Sanchez also received coneren

player-o-the-week honors during the 2011 season.

Te Bulldog womens soccer program continues to mak

strides. With the programs rst-ever postseason win notaken care o, Concordia has plans or continued progre

Te successes o this season have contributed towards

team having a tangible experience o what they know t

are capable o, said White. Perhaps more importantly,

have been able to demonstrate what they are capable

o to our opponents. As or the uture, expectations wi

remain high as they have in the past, and the team will

continue in the direction o doing more than they thin

they can.

We aredeveloping a traitin our playersthat will striveto overcome.
