Amber Koenig ’11 doesn’t expect to discover the cure

for cancer, but, as a graduate student at the University of

North Carolina-Chapel Hill, her research is helping

provide insight into one of the nation’s deadliest killers.

Koenig has been awarded a prestigious three-year National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship to support

her doctoral work. The fellowship, which is awarded to only 2,000 students nationally in all the sciences, will provide

the Howards Grove, Wis., native with a stipend and funds to cover her UNC tuition and fees. She is working towards a

doctorate in organic chemistry, and recently completed the second year of her five-year program. Koenig’s graduate research

focuses on the interactions that control gene expression in hopes that it could shed light on how cancer occurs.

Koenig graduated from Lakeland with honors and degrees in chemistry and math. Her involvement in the Lakeland

Undergraduate Research Experience Program (LURE) set the table for the work she’s doing now at UNC. Koenig

conducted research for two summers, one with Brian Frink, associate professor of chemistry and physics, and one with

Paul Pickhardt, associate professor of biology.

“My LURE experience was a lot like grad school,” Koenig said. “At a lot of schools, you get research experience, but

you’re not getting much experience designing the project. At Lakeland, I learned so much about how to develop a research

project, how to think about things and I was reading the literature.”

While she spends the bulk of her time in the lab researching, Koenig is also a teaching assistant for undergraduate

science labs. She recently participated in UNC’s DNA Day by going to a rural North Carolina high school and teaching

students about science and chemistry. She’s done similar lessons in Chapel Hill-area middle schools.

“The best thing about being in graduate school and the reason I want an academic career is that I love learning these

things,” she said. “And you’re not learning from a textbook – you’re learning through research.”

She hopes to one day teach at a small college like Lakeland, and model herself after her Lakeland mentors. “Brian and

Paul gave me so much good advice while I was there,” Koenig said. “I really love chemistry, and I want to teach it and give

other people the same opportunities I had at Lakeland.”

For 150 years, the world has benefitted from the lakeland effect.

through their jobs, their community service, their generosity,

thousands of lakeland graduates have had a positive, transforming effect

on the places where they live and the lives they touch.

this summer, as we ended the college’s sesquicentennial celebration,

lakeland surveyed its alumni to document the lakeland effect. in this issue

of the magazine, we begin an occasional series by sharing some stories

of current students and graduates and their effect.


Dan CarriveauAs he enters his senior year at Lakeland, Dan Carriveau has built an impressive

resume of leadership thanks to his work at the college and his nearly lifelong

involvement with the Boy Scouts of America.

In 2011-12, Carriveau served as National Venturing President. Venturing is a co-ed

division of the Boy Scouts that serves more than 238,000 youth nationwide. It was a

demanding role that saw him spending 20 to 30 hours a week on Venturing work – that

was over and above his schoolwork at Lakeland – and he traveled just over 25,000

miles for various meetings and events.

His accomplishments included development of a peer-to-peer recruitment program

that the organization is working on implementing with all councils. “The goal is to get

membership up, although it will take a couple of years to see progress, especially on a

national scale,” said Carriveau, an Eagle Scout who has been in scouting for 16 years.

Today, the Little Chute, Wis., native is Central Region Area 1 Venturing associate

advisor of administration, working with youth in a variety of areas including

operating procedures, selection of awards and increasing membership. The region

includes Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, the Upper Peninsula of

Michigan and a portion of Iowa.

After spending the majority of his time doing hands-on work, the advisor position

gives him a chance to mentor tomorrow’s leaders. “It’s a very different role for me, but

I enjoy working with people and connecting with them,” Carriveau said. “I’ve seen my

advisees grow and mature and have more passion for BSA. It’s a really cool experience

for me to see that transition.”

At Lakeland, Carriveau is an officer with the Zeta Chi fraternity, Lakeland

College-Campus Activities Board, Student Association and Lakeland’s Habitat for

Humanity chapter. “My experiences with the Boy Scouts have helped me learn

leadership, communication, planning and organization, and I’m using these skills in

my involvement at Lakeland to help others,” he said.

Carriveau is working toward a double major in hospitality management and

accounting. This summer, he served an accounting internship at Camp Hiawatha in

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. He’s gotten a taste of hospitality work through an

internship last summer at Alpine Resort in Door County and a job shadow at The

American Club’s front desk.

One day, Carriveau hopes to open his own resort, hence his motivation to combine

accounting with hospitality management. “Anyone who works in the business, if they

understand the numbers, will have a leg up on running the business effectively,” he

said. “All operations depend on those numbers.”

Dan VerbanacWhen Dan Verbanac enrolled at Lakeland College in the mid-1990s, he was already an accomplished information technology professional who led a staff of 100 people. But he had career goals that required a bachelor’s degree. Verbanac completed his degree in computer science at Lakeland in 1998, taking classes at the college’s Green Bay center. Today, he is president of Integrys Energy Services, Inc., and helped lead the company, which was founded just over a year prior to his joining in 1996, from its infancy to becoming a leading natural gas and electricity supplier across the U.S. and Canada. After graduating from high school, Verbanac enrolled in UW-Milwaukee’s computer science program, but he came from humble means and needed to start earning a paycheck quickly. He transferred to Northeast Wisconsin

Technical College and completed an associate degree in data processing while working full time as a programmer. The need for a four-year degree came into focus as he started working in administrative roles. In 1984, he joined Wisconsin Public Service, an electric and natural gas utility subsidiary, as an applications programmer/analyst, but quickly was promoted into roles with more responsibility and supervisory duties. After shopping local college options, he enrolled at Lakeland because the classes offered at the Green Bay center were handy after a full work day and Lakeland’s computer science major was a good fit. Verbanac’s Lakeland experience shaped his decision to pursue a management position. He had been writing computer applications for all aspects of the business while working in IT, which allowed him to learn about the total business

operation. “If I wanted to contribute beyond IT, I knew I needed to be more involved with the business side,” Verbanac said. “The associate degree provided more of the technical skills I needed, but Lakeland classes helped me to grow as an individual and as a manager and leader.” Two years before graduating from Lakeland, Verbanac transferred to WPS Energy Services, Inc., as director of technical development and implementation. He subsequently served as director of trading operations, vice president, senior vice president, chief operating officer and, in late 2009, he was named company president. Lakeland’s liberal arts curriculum required Verbanac to take courses in history and other topics he otherwise would never have pursued, and those experiences expanded his knowledge base. The program also afforded him the

flexibility he needed to finish a degree. He typically took two night classes a semester, fitting them into a schedule which included a demanding full-time job and teenage daughters at home. “There were times when I would book the whole weekend to catch up on work or schoolwork,” he said. “I had to work hard, but it was certainly worth it. I tell my kids all the time the best thing you do is get an education. It has helped me tremendously.” Education has become a family focus. In 2002, Verbanac, who was the featured speaker at NWTC’s 2012 graduation ceremony, graduated from the Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program. In May of 2012, his youngest daughter, Danielle, completed her master of business administration at Lakeland, and his oldest daughter is currently working toward a doctorate.


the brothers friasIt was a special meal, seven years in the making, when Bob and violet Frias joined their three sons at Lakeland’s Graduation Celebration banquet on May 4. The night before commencement, the family celebrated three academic milestones: Jake completing a master of arts in counseling degree, Robby a bachelor’s degree in marketing and Joel a bachelor’s in criminal justice. They are from the south side of Chicago but found another family at Lakeland. And, at least for now, they are happy to keep their talents in Sheboygan County. Jake is a personal trainer at the Sports Core in Kohler and head wrestling coach at Cedar Grove-Belgium High School. His counseling degree includes an emphasis in K-12 school counseling. “you start making roots,” Jake said. “It gets harder to say good-bye.”

Robby is now pursuing a master of business administration degree and working as a graduate assistant in the college’s marketing department. He was a finalist for Lakeland’s Clarence H. Koehler Campus Senior Award, and won a number of honors for his schoolwork, including being named a 2012 NCAA Division III Academic All-American. Joel works security full time at Kohler Co. He served an internship at Bridgeway, a nonprofit in Sheboygan that has programs and services to assist single mothers and their children. He is thinking about continuing school to earn a master’s in social work. The significance of graduation weekend stirs powerful emotions for many participants, but for the Frias family, it was multiplied by three. The fact that all three boys landed at Lakeland is thanks to Jake’s procrastination. Jake and Robby were hoping to enroll in a summer wrestling camp in Michigan, but Jake waited too long and the deadline

passed. They found a summer camp with openings at Lakeland and Jake and Robby both participated. Then-Lakeland wrestling coach Pete Rogers started recruiting Jake, and he enrolled in the fall of 2006. Robby initially attended Illinois State University, but ISU was too big, and after one semester he joined Jake at Lakeland. Joel attended Elmhurst College to wrestle, but it wasn’t a good fit, and after a year he transferred to Lakeland where he was reunited with Jake, an assistant coach while he earned his master’s degree, and Robby. “It was pretty special having Jake as a coach and Robby as my teammate,” Joel said. “At the time, you don’t realize how special it is.” From November of 2006 until this past spring, Bob and violet Frias made the trek up Interstate 43 to watch their boys wrestle and, in the process, became active members of the Lakeland community. “When you get past Port Washington and into Sheboygan County, it almost

feels like coming home,” Bob said. “Knowing your kids are here is so reassuring, especially after two of them started at different schools and they were not happy. There is a quote that as a parent you’re only as happy as your saddest child. They did all the work. They’ve made friends for life here. It might not ring true yet, but it will.” When the three boys left for college, Bob and violet decided to follow in their children’s footsteps. Bob, an investigator with the city of oak Forest, is completing his bachelor’s degree at Governor’s State University, and violet, who works in the counseling office at H.L. Richards High School, is working toward a degree at Moraine valley Community College. Jake was the first to cross the stage at Lakeland’s graduation ceremony; and later Joel and Robby went back-to-back with the undergraduate students. “My brothers are my best friends,” Robby said. “It was one of the best weekends of my life. This is exactly where we deserved to be.”

becky mayoBecky Mayo seldom fell short in her four years at Lakeland College.

But oddly enough, when it was time for her to shine on a big stage, she

drew motivation from a setback that came early in her college career.

Mayo was recruited out of Gladstone, Mich., to play basketball

at Lakeland. A standout student, she interviewed in 2009 for the

full-tuition J. Garland Schilcutt Scholarship. She eventually was awarded

the honor, but only after the initial winner turned it down. “Looking

back, I didn’t know who I was or how to portray myself,” Mayo said.

Fast forward to the spring of 2013, and Mayo is back in the hot

seat, interviewing for a position at PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLC,

the biggest of the “Big 4” public accounting firms in the U.S. Her

Lakeland experience gave her the poise, confidence and dogged

determination to complement her accounting skills. As a result, she

started work at PWC’s Milwaukee office in July.

“I looked at the other candidates and I knew I had three of them

beat – they just looked scared,” Mayo said. “The interview team told

me they liked me. I felt like I could do it. My goal was to be as likeable

and personable as I could be. I knew I would probably make a few

mistakes, but I just wanted to be myself.”

Mayo graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in

accounting with an emphasis in fraud and forensics. Her impressive

academic record and her persistence helped her get on PWC’s radar.

“Lakeland students don’t often get a position at one of the ‘Big 4’ firms

right out of college because they do not recruit on our campus,” said

Brett Killion, accounting instructor at Lakeland. “This is great news

for Becky and speaks highly of our accounting program.”

In February, Mayo spoke with PWC officials at a job fair. She

stayed in touch after the fair and had an onsite interview in April.

“They typically only hire their interns, so they pressed me to make

sure I was a good fit,” Mayo said. “I have confidence in myself through

my Lakeland experiences. The interpersonal, small community

at Lakeland helped me to shine and do what I knew I could do. I had

professors and staff who helped me and said they were proud of me.

That had a lot of influence on my life.”

Mayo led a busy life in college, but it set her up for post-graduation

success. She interned two summers at Harley-Davidson in Milwaukee,

working in the information systems department assisting dealers and

customers with a variety of issues. This spring, she interned at the

Sheboygan office of Schenck SC, preparing tax returns. Next, she

hopes to pass all four parts of the CPA exam by the end of this year.

“I think PWC was looking for someone smart and well-rounded

who could hold their own,” Mayo said. “That is what my Lakeland

experience did for me.”

sarah WagnerSarah (McBroom) wagner came to lakeland College in 2007 for a job. little did she know how that decision would impact her life. This past May, wagner graduated with honors and was awarded the 2013 Clarence H. koehler Campus Senior Award during commencement weekend. The award goes to a full-time student who qualifies academically and who best exemplifies lakeland’s spirit through engagement in campus activities and outstanding commitment to the lakeland community. wagner graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree with a double major in international business and marketing. She started taking classes in 2009 after being promoted to manage the college’s coffee shop. in 2011, she married John wagner ’12. “lakeland took me under its wing and turned me into the woman i am today,” she said. She received a presidential scholarship for four years, was an active member of Mortar Board national Senior Honor Society and the national Spanish Honor Society and this year was named the winner of the outstanding Student Award in international Business. in June, she spent four weeks in Colombia with a group of lakeland students studying culture and the Spanish language. “She is always trying to identify ways to grow and improve herself, whether it be taking a foreign language, considering the best major or minor, pursuing an internship or managing the daily Grind,” said her academic advisor, Scott niederjohn, associate professor of economics and business. “She did all of these things with great skill and class.”

Some commonly eaten fish are now known to contain dangerous levels of mercury. But how does the mercury get into the fish? That’s a question Phil Sontag ’10 is helping answer through his graduate school research. “When someone talks about mercury poisoning from eating fish, 95 percent of that is methylmercury, which is what I’m studying,” said Sontag, who is two years into his five-year doctoral program at Rutgers University. “I’m focusing on the base of the food web, the concentrations in ocean water and how it enters phytoplankton and algae.” Methylmercury can taint water through human dumping, precipitation and natural leeching from the earth’s crust. “Trophic transfer” is how the toxin moves from single-celled organisms all the way up the food chain – becoming more concentrated with each step. Methylmercury is lipophilic, which means it concentrates in the tissue of fish. Sontag is scheduled to become the first graduate student from Rutgers’ environmental science program to join the marine science program’s annual research trip to Antarctica in December of 2014. He will be one of a couple dozen people spending just over a month in the region. Their research will focus on how methylmercury behaves in that climate’s pristine marine system compared with similar research conducted in U.S. coastal areas.

The research team will be based at the Palmer Research Station (near the southern tip of South America) on the Antarctic Peninsula, but will spend most of its time on a ship in the Southern ocean. Their work will be influenced by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the largest, most powerful current in the world that flows clockwise from west to east around the continent. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for Sontag. “I just love oceanography, all the components of it,” he said. “I’d call myself a marine ecologist or a marine naturalist – that’s where my interests lie.” Sontag hopes to one day inspire college students the way Lakeland Associate Professor of Biology Paul Pickhardt inspired him. His goal is to teach at a research institution, and his role model is Pickhardt. “He challenged me,” Sontag said. “He gets excited about everything, and I fed off that. I hear from people now that I get excited – I got that from Paul. Grad school is really hard, but I enjoy what I do and that’s largely attributed to Paul and the way he got me excited about research.” The Altoona, Wis., native graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology and completed Lakeland’s Honors Program. He said the emphasis on developing critical thinking skills, a foundation in Lakeland’s liberal arts curriculum, along with Pickhardt’s mentoring, prepared him for graduate school.

“I’m able to formulate a project and a hypothesis,” Sontag said. “My doctoral advisor has often said, ‘Wow, you thought of that on your own?’ In honors at Lakeland, we’d have debates and you really had to think your position through, and it provided a way for your imagination and creative thinking skills to grow.” Sontag also credits his Lakeland May Term trip to Belize. Researching in those oppressive, humid conditions will likely be great training for the cold of Alaska. “you have to be used to a research environment that’s not ideal – it’s not an air-conditioned or heated lab,” Sontag said. “Regardless of whether it’s extremely hot or cold, you need to have your mind about you to do your work and calculations. you’re going to be working out of your comfort zone.”

Diane Le royDiane Le Roy was an entrepreneur before she was a college student. The work ethic and passion that helped her launch a successful business, Home Sweet Home Pet Care in Green Bay, were also important in guiding her eight-year journey to a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Lakeland. Le Roy was named the 2013 winner of the college’s Robert W. Lope Award, given annuallyto the graduate who, through perseverance, academic achievement and encouragement of others, best represents an extraordinary commitment to education. Six years after starting her own business, Le Roy enrolled at Lakeland. She enjoyedinteracting with people and had solid sales skills, but knew that a college degree would give hera broader skills set. “What I learned in my marketing classes helped me put my business outthere,” Le Roy said. “Without marketing, you’re dead in the water.” Le Roy took most of her classes at Lakeland’s Green Bay center, but appreciated the ability to attend class online when work or personal obligations took priority. Today, her business has a loyal customer base that has steadily grown, and Le Roy saidshe has become a well-rounded business owner thanks to her Lakeland experience. Key to that learning, Le Roy said, was a collection of exceptional teachers. “They understood students’needs,” she said. “Their level of passion was very strong. You could tell they were interested inyou learning the material. They really engaged the students.”

For more than 20 years, Cindy Lindstrom analyzed and created technology systems in the corporate world. Today, she is creating systems in the classroom to teach Lakeland College computer science students the skills needed to secure lifelong employment in the always-changing IT industry. Under Lindstrom’s leadership, enrollment in the computer science major has tripled since she joined Lakeland’s faculty full time in 2009. Lindstrom’s courses mix classroom lectures and hands-on activities related to the most recent topics in IT, and she is working with regional employers to create internships that have students working on real industry issues.

“In Cindy’s classes you learn the newest information,” said Jacob Flesch, a senior scheduled to graduate in December with a double major in computer science and criminal justice. “I love that because you can apply everything to real work situations.” one recent internship Lindstrom secured was in the innovation department of Manitowoc Cranes, a division of The Manitowoc Company. The company’s leadership wants to gather data from cranes operating in the field to predict when cranes need servicing, when warranty work might be needed and other issues. The process – called predictive analysis – uses software to gather data from the cranes, and requires skilled professionals to interpret the information. But Manitowoc Cranes, like many other firms, has challenges sourcing technicians in the IT workforce who can perform that type of analysis. To help address this critical need, Lindstrom has added predictive analysis to her database management class, and this new internship will put one Lakeland student in a position to assist a major regional employer. other students will also have a chance to use predictive analysis software that Lindstrom has secured from Cognos, a company working with Manitowoc Cranes. Lindstrom believes that students should become IT generalists rather than specializing in any one area, program or computer language, and she has designed the Lakeland computer science major around this concept. The IT industry values people who are generalists, and she tells students to put that on their business cards. Lakeland students don’t take classes that teach specific software products; they learn broad theories that enable them to use a variety of products by various manufacturers. “The fastest way to unemployment in this

field is to be an expert in only one thing,” Lindstrom said. The demand for IT workers is high, according to an analysis in Best Jobs for the 21st Century. Companies forecast hiring 20 percent more computer systems analysts by 2018. In the “Top 10 Bachelor’s Degrees for the College Class of 2013” compiled by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), computer and information science, management information systems and computer engineering are three careers listed. This bodes well for the continued growth of Lakeland’s program. “In the end, companies will hire Lakeland grads because our graduates can do what they need,” Lindstrom said. “We cannot teach

traditional curriculum anymore. There is no more traditional data. All the data from emails, voice mails, texts – how do we make this information useful? There are software packages that run algorithms to find patterns. Companies search competitor websites and pull data to learn how often they run sales, and, as the public recently learned, the government is looking at data as well.” on the other hand, companies are increasingly interested in protecting their data from hackers and cyber attacks, so Lindstrom has integrated computer forensics into the major with two new courses. Computer forensics uses investigation and analysis techniques to gather and preserve evidence from computer hardware and software. Think of it as a detective walking into a crime scene – their job is to piece together what happened, find the person that committed the crime and gather evidence to prove it. In Lindstrom, Lakeland students have a teacher who knows the industry, and knows how to prepare her students to meet industry needs. She worked in a variety of sectors and has expertise in systems analysis and design, international project management, training and course design and system programming and support. To go with the practical experience, she has a Doctor of Education in higher education with an emphasis in computing and information technology from Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., a master’s degree in administration with a systems analysis emphasis from University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and a bachelor’s in business administration from Michigan Technological University. She taught computer science as an adjunct instructor at Lakeland’s Green Bay Center from 1992-2005.

Along with the curriculum changes, the program has enjoyed several recent enhancements: • A major boost came this summer when funding was secured to build a new state-of-the-art computer classroom and lab. The lab, which will be located in the Chase Science Center, is funded, in part, from a grant from the Ruth St. John & John Dunham West Foundation and gifts from alumni and friends to the Annual Fund for Excellence. • Students also have access to a 3D printer, which was purchased thanks to a gift from Paul Frank ’67, gifts from alumni and friends to the Annual Fund for Excellence and a fundraiser by students in Lakeland’s Association of Information Technology Professionals chapter. 3D printing makes a three-dimensional solid object from a digital model. “The printer can bring big-scale manufacturing down to a size where it’s able to fit into someone’s personal work area,” said Justin Ruka, a computer science program graduate this past May. “It’s pretty incredible that we have access to this type of cutting-edge technology.”

• This academic year, Lindstrom will introduce web application development. Students will develop new apps that will perform a variety of functions. • Students participate in Technology Thursdays where they gather over pizza and work on a new subject each month. These sessions help students stay current on issues and emerging trends in the technology sector. Lindstrom is passionate about her program, and said that Lakeland’s computer science major is a total package. “We’re competing with for-profits and technical colleges, and they keep us on our toes,” she said. “We have to constantly change curriculum and add new courses to remain a leader. For example, right now, predictive analysis and forensics will give us our niche, but next year it may be something else. My goal is that if you enroll here, you’re going to get hired. I can’t make any promises, but I’m going to work hard to get every student in the major to get a job after they graduate.”

Jacob fLesch: to Protect anD serVeJacob hopes to land a permanent job protecting U.S. citizens. To that end, Flesch, a Lakeland senior from Howards Grove, Wis., is serving an internship with the federal government. Although he can’t share any details about his work, he’s using many of the skills he’s learned taking classes as a computer science major. After he graduates this December, Flesch hopes to return to the East Coast to continue working for the government. The federal government is increasing its focus on computer protection and forensics. The Cyber Warrior Act of 2013 is working its way through Congressional committees, and the Pentagon has said it will need to hire between 3,000 and 4,000 cyber security professionals. “We talked in class about information security and people hacking networks from all over the world,” Flesch said. “It’s getting harder to track the individuals committing computer crime. They use multiple techniques, IPs (internet protocol addresses) and do multiple attacks simultaneously. The ability for hackers and criminals to exploit computer systems and to leave little to no footprint is astounding.” Flesch is on track to graduate with a double major in computer science and criminal justice – and he might add a third major, business administration. In high school, his focus was mechanical engineering and drafting, and he served a two-year internship in the mechanical engineering department at Kohler Co. But he also had an interest in computers, and was drawn to the major as he learned more about the career opportunities. Since enrolling at Lakeland in the fall of 2010, he has taken an aggressive schedule of 21 credits per semester. “The highest level courses taught me to think critically in computer science,” Flesch said. “When most people look at a computer, they’re just looking at the screen. Computer scientists don’t just see what everyone else sees. They visualize, understand and comprehend the capabilities, the possible vulnerabilities and what can be improved by looking at how computers operate.”

Justin ruka: ProgrammeD for successJustin will spend this fall interning at Walt Disney World Resort in orlando, Fla. He’s hoping his bachelor’s degree in computer science and minor in resort management will open opportunities for a career in the theme park industry. He was named the college’s outstanding Student in Computer Science this past spring. In 2010, he was a charter member of the college’s Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) chapter, and he served as president his senior year. Lakeland’s chapter was invited to attend meetings of the Sheboygan chapter, as well as regional conferences in Green Bay in the fall. Students heard guest speakers from the IT industry and networked with professionals in the field. Before heading to Disney, the Saukville, Wis., native helped the IT department at the Northern ozaukee School District for the fourth straight summer. He worked as enrollment coordinator for Wisconsin virtual Learning, a charter school within the district. Ruka came to Lakeland as a resort management major, but had taken a computer class in high school and quickly fell in love with computer science. He added resort management as a minor because he wants to apply his computer science skills in a creative industry. “The technology field changes so quickly; there are so many incredible things going on locally and worldwide,” Ruka said. “It’s such a broad topic area and you can go into any field because everyone has a need for technology. I have a broad range of skills to try different things.” He is confident entering the field, thanks to his Lakeland education. “What it did was open my eyes to all the aspects of computer science out there,” he said. “I’ll keep learning as I grow in my career, but I feel Lakeland provided me with a launch pad from which I can learn and explore.”

LAKELAND COMPUTER SCIENCE v2.0


Lakeland College’s Scott Niederjohn, the Charlotte and Walter Kohler Associate Professor of Economics and Business, will teach in Luxembourg in Central Europe this fall under the auspices of the Fulbright Scholar program. Niederjohn will teach an undergraduate course at the University of Luxembourg and present a series of lectures on the U.S. housing crisis and subprime meltdown to students in their master of science in banking and finance program. The undergraduate course will cover U.S. economy, culture and business practices. “I’m very honored to receive this award and excited to have this opportunity, which I consider the highlight of my professional career,” Niederjohn said. “This will be a rich experience for me, but Lakeland will also benefit from my work in Luxembourg.” Niederjohn hopes to identify some best practices for “internationalizing” Lakeland’s business curriculum by interviewing and learning from University of Luxembourg faculty and staff. “As the business world becomes more global, a collegiate international experience is critical for students as they embark upon their careers,” Niederjohn said. “our division has identified ‘internationalizing’ our programs as a primary strategic plan going forward, beginning with our international business major.” At the request of faculty members in Luxembourg’s business and economics program, Niederjohn’s course will explore American culture and business practices and compare them to other parts of the world in an effort to prepare students for their interaction with American firms and employees. Working with educators from across the globe is not new to Niederjohn. As chair of the college’s business division, he hosted numerous visiting scholars from Lakeland’s sister universities in Asia. His interest in Luxembourg dates back to a meeting in 2010 with the Luxembourg-American Cultural Society in nearby Belgium, Wis. Since that time, Lakeland has worked closely with the society on projects related to student internships, historical research and business development activities between the U.S. and Luxembourg. In February 2012, Niederjohn and then-Lakeland Senior vice President Dan Eck visited the University of Luxembourg for

two days. The trip included meetings with several professors and senior administrators from the university, as well as a meeting with Luxembourg’s minister for higher education. The visit led to the invitation to return as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar. Niederjohn and Eck were also part of a local group that greeted Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker when he visited the Sheboygan area in May 2012. Lakeland Trustee Deb Ansay, an active supporter of the Luxembourg American Cultural Society in Belgium, Wis., has been instrumental in Niederjohn’s involvement. “I’m especially thankful to Deb for her role in my relationship with the University of Luxembourg which has resulted in this honor,” Niederjohn said. “I owe much of this honor to her work in helping make this possible.” Niederjohn’s trip is just the beginning of Lakeland’s relationship with the University of Luxembourg and other European institutions. A group of Lakeland students will spend the 2015 spring semester studying in Luxembourg, the Lakeland men’s basketball team is planning a trip to Luxembourg in May of 2015 and it is likely that students and faculty at the University of Luxembourg will begin study at Lakeland in the next few years. Niederjohn is director of Lakeland’s Center for Economic Education, which he founded in 2005. His research has been featured in numerous academic journals, and his work on public policy is often quoted by statewide media outlets. He has established a national reputation in the areas of economics education research, the training of K-12 teachers in economics and personal finance and national curriculum development for high school economics and personal finance classes. He is an outspoken advocate for the need for better financial literacy among school children and adults. The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 and is sponsored by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Each year, the core Fulbright Scholar Program sends some 800 U.S. faculty and professionals to 155 countries to lecture, research or participate in seminars. At the same time, approximately 800 foreign faculty come to the U.S. each year.

Signe Jorgenson, assistant professor of general studies, joined lakeland’s

faculty in 2008. She teaches composition, Core and occasional May Term

creative writing. She has chaired the college’s convocation and fine arts

committee and helped lead changes in the freshman general studies

curriculum. A prolific writer and writing advocate, her work has been

published in a number of literary journals, both in print and online. She helped

establish and serves as co-editor in chief of the literary journal Stoneboat,

which publishes works of emerging and established writers. A wisconsin

native, she received a bachelor’s degree in creative writing and religious

studies at the university of wisconsin-eau Claire, and a master of fine arts in

nonfiction creative writing from the university of Alaska-Anchorage. She won

the 2007 northern lights essay Contest for her piece, “what we do Here.”

Advice that i always give to my students: Use your resources.

if i was not a professional educator, i would be: If I didn’t need apaycheck, I would be a full-time writer.

if i could teach another discipline, it would be: I teach composition classes, but my degree is in creative writing, so let’s go with that.

when i read for me, i read: Creative nonfiction, supplemented by a healthy dose of novels.

right now, i’m reading: “Dirt Work” by Christine Byl.

The best book i have ever read: This is an impossible question, butI’ll go with “For the Time Being” by Annie Dillard, “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee and the Harry Potter series. My tastes are quite varied.

web browser bookmarks: My student loan company, weather.com, a couple of Norwegian radio stations.

Magazines i subscribe to: Poets & Writers, The New yorker and The Writer’s Chronicle.

what’s in my ipod: A little bit of everything, but there’s a disproportionateamount of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks and Madonna. Don’t judge.

The worst job i ever had was: I’ve never had a job that I didn’t like. The best job I ever had was working at the Door County Ice Cream Factory. I spent the summer living with my sister in a cabin on the beach, and it was amazing.

i can’t live without: Language.

My one unbreakable rule is: There are always worthy exceptions.

The most beneficial class i took was: Afro-American Politics with Dr. obika Gray. It made me question my own worldview and look at things from a completely new perspective.

The hardest thing about being a teacher is: The lack of cultural respect for my profession. Teachers are sometimes seen as lazy people who only work a few hours a day during the school year, sip umbrella drinks by the poolside all summer long and collect fat paychecks year round. This is definitely not my reality.

The words that i live by are: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” –Joan Didion

i’m frugal in that: I’m pretty frugal with handing out A’s. (To be fair, I’m pretty frugal at the opposite end of the grading spectrum, too.)

i’m up and at ’em by: During the school year, no later than 7 a.m. In the summer, though, I sometimes don’t go to bed until sunrise.

My favorite meal: Anything with cream sauce.

if i were queen for a day: Nobody would have to worry about healthcare,everyone would have enough to eat, we’d all be equal both legally and in reality and we’d all have at least four weeks of mandatory paid vacation. Don’t ask me about implementation, though, because I have no idea how to achieve any of that.

i’d love to trade places for a day with: Anyone who trains (in figureskating) with Frank Carroll.

My students don’t know how much: I want them to succeed.

The thing i love most about my job is: Advising – the interactions with students are incredibly rewarding.

Besides teaching, i’m good at: Writing. Listening. Eating.

lakeland is a good fit for me because: I don’t feel like I get lost in the shuffle here.

lakeland colleagues who really inspire me: Karl Elder. The fact that he is able to balance his teaching life and his writing life is admirable. That’s something I hope to figure out sooner rather than later.

Several Lakeland College alumni gathered to hear “Overture to Mansaniello,” an arrangement written by longtime Lakeland music faculty member Edgar Thiessen H’83, performed by “The President’s Own” U.S. Marine Band during a special concert held at the Library of Congress in February. H The piece, which was performed as the opening overture of the concert, was published in 1978. H The concert was entitled “Music in the Lincoln White House,” and was conducted by the Marine Band’s director, Col. Michael J. Colburn. Pieces on the concert program were either written for or during the Lincoln Presidency or were of the time period of the Civil War. H Attending the concert were Terry ’70 and Karen Rohde-Thiessen ’67, James and Sandra ’62 Thiessen-Wise, Terry’s sister and brother-in-law, and Ernst ’69 and Rae Gutschow, another Kiel Municipal Band member and a former student of Edgar ’s while at Lakeland. Also attending was Thiessen family friend, Jessica Bailey ’69, of Silver Spring, Md. H Following the concert, the group was invited to visit with Colburn. He said Edgar Thiessen’s composition/arrangement was in the Marine Band’s library and was used because it reflected the style of music that was popular during the Lincoln Presidency. H The group’s travel and participation was arranged through the efforts of the Gutschows who made contact with the Marine Band public affairs office and secured a meeting with Colburn.

more than 700 earnLakeland degreesLakeland awarded degrees to 715 graduates in May at the college’s 151st commencement. The class included 492 undergraduates and 223 graduate students. The undergraduate group included 175 students who attended classes at Lakeland’s main campus program and 317 students who took classes through Lakeland’s evening, weekend and online program, which includes seven centers throughout Wisconsin. America’s Cup champion, Emmy Award-winning television commentator and author Gary Jobson delivered the commencement address. He shared a series of short, humorous stories from his 57-year sailing career and his 28 years with ESPN. A survivor of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Jobson was awarded an honorary doctor of humane letters degree for his career and his efforts that have raised more than $43 million for cancer research. Also receiving honorary degrees were former Lakeland College Trustee Bill younger (honorary doctor of humane letters) and David Moyer, conference minister for the Wisconsin Conference of the United Church of Christ, who received an honorary doctor of divinity. younger’s leadership at Lakeland spanned four decades, and included service as the director of the Center for Business and Economics. younger has served as a friend, advisor and mentor to Lakeland presidents and senior staff, and has been a tireless advocate of the college and its mission. Moyer, who retired this summer after working more than 40 years in the ministry, delivered the sermon at Lakeland’s baccalaureate service.

Lakeland opens new centerin madisonMore than 300 students, alumni, employees and friends checked out Lakeland College’s new Madison center during a grand opening early in the year. The newly completed $2 million facility is located at 1650 Pankratz

St. The 15,000-square-foot facility includes 10 technology-rich classrooms and two computer labs including one laptop classroom, a large student lounge for students to study and work in groups and Wi-Fi throughout the building. Lakeland has offered classes in Madison since 1979. Today, the college serves 500 students in the Madison area through its evening, weekend and online program.

stand-alone practice facility will aid wrestling programLakeland is renovating a space in the southwest portion of campus this summer to give its wrestling program a stand-alone practice facility. The completed facility will have wall-to-wall mats, kettlebells, pull-up bars, Bulgarian training bags, ropes and other top-flight training equipment. “This takes the possibilities for our program and our student-athletes to much higher levels,” said third-year head wrestling coach Mike DeRoehn. “The facility provides a safe, clean, motivating environment for our athletes to train in on a year-round basis, if they choose. It will increase our practice eff iciency and team training opportunities exponentially, as well as greatly enhance our recruiting.”

Lakeland chemistryprofessor wins 2013underkofler teaching awardLakeland College’s Brian Frink, an associate professor of chemistry, won the 2013 Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award. Frink, a Howards Grove resident and 14-year member of Lakeland’s faculty, is the college’s 22nd winner of the Underkofler, an award that recognizes outstanding performance in undergraduate teaching. Frink was recognized for creating a dynamic classroom environment and his work with students outside the classroom. “Brian can get a student to participate and present their ideas on how to solve a problem, and even if they’re wrong, come back to

them later to tie in what they understand with what they didn’t,” said Joshua Hakala, a senior majoring in biochemistry. “His style of teaching is interactive and he demands that the student is thinking during class.” Frink’s efforts in the local manufacturing community have created real-world internship opportunities for students. He also has significant service to the college by working on numerous committees and task forces. Highlights include chairing the on-campus curriculum committee and the assessment committee and serving on task forces that worked on the college’s core curriculum. Frink joined Lakeland’s faculty in 1999 after working as a teaching assistant and research assistant at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and The ohio State University. Frink has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and a doctorate in physical organic chemistry from The ohio State University. He served as Lakeland’s interim chemical hygiene officer and hazardous waste coordinator for a year, and has been a consultant with SACo Polymers in Sheboygan since 2011.

Lakeland center for economic education awarded bradley foundation grantFor the second consecut ive yea r, Lakeland College has received a $50,000 grant from The Bradley Foundation to support a statewide effort to improve the economic and f inancial literacy of Wisconsin’s K-12 teachers and students. The grant will continue funding a series of workshops for American history teachers in Wisconsin and provide them with instructional tools that aid in teaching basic economics. “I’m very pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to local school districts again this year,” said Scott Niederjohn, associate professor of business administration and director of Lakeland’s Center for Economic Education. “Because U.S. history is taught to a l l students, it provides a perfect place to infuse some lessons about economics and hopefully raise the level of economic literacy in our students.” Last year, 50 Wisconsin high school American history teachers attended three one-day teacher workshops. Content stressed choices, costs, incentives, rules of the economy system and gains from trade. Each teacher was trained to use Economic Episodes in American History and received a set of books for their classroom. Since it was started in 2005, the center has provided access to economics and financial literacy curriculum for thousands of Wisconsin teachers.

She is responsible for building the curriculum in the sport studies emphasis within the exercise science and sport studies major. She has a doctorate in education with an emphasis

in sports management and leadership from Northcentral University in Prescott, Ariz. Dodgson has been an energetic member of the history department, developing new courses focused on mid-20th Century American culture and developing connections with the Sheboygan community to allow Lakeland and its students to play key roles in fostering public access to political debates. He was awarded the Underkof ler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2012. He has a bachelor’s in American studies and social anthropology from the University of Wales, Swansea, U.K., and a master’s in political science and doctorate in history from ohio University.

StudentS benefit from changeS in buSineSS majorLakeland College has freshened up its business administration major with changes that will better position graduates to enter the workforce. The college consulted with recent alumni in the workforce, employers and advisory boards for these programs in making these changes. Analysis of career development data and national market trends were also part of the process. Students majoring in business administration will select one (or more) of eight emphasis areas to complement their studies. The emphasis areas are between 12-18 credits and provide greater focus in select areas. The major is available through Lakeland’s traditional program at its main campus and the college’s evening, weekend and online program offered at seven locations throughout Wisconsin. The emphasis areas are business economics, f inance and insurance, healthcare management, nonprofit management, sport management, management, hospitality management and international business. Finance and insurance is a new area for Lakeland and includes three new courses which cover concepts that are part of national competencies required to work in the industry. The non-prof it organization management and sport management emphasis areas will provide access to classes within those existing programs at Lakeland for business students interested in those areas.

“Lakeland College is agile enough to create a unique environment for students to gain professional experiences that reflect opportunities in the job market,” said Mike Ansay, chairman and chief executive officer at Ansay & Associates LLC, one of the region’s largest and fastest-growing insurance agencies. “This is especially important in today’s economy. Creating unique opportunities for students that position them for success after graduation is really what Lakeland is all about. The college’s academic program is reinventing education in a way that has the college working on behalf of the student and their parents.” other changes include: • Converting a capstone leadership course to a business policy and strategy course, based on feedback from employers who said these are skills they seek in applicants. • Reducing the number of credits required for several majors in the business division to allow students more choices in elective courses within and outside the division. • Changing the resort management major to hospitality management, which reflects hiring and other marketplace trends in the industry. This major is only available through the main campus program. • A requirement that students in the international business major or the emphasis area complete a study abroad experience. This major is only available through the main campus program.
