You created hands-on learning experiences for our nursing students through an IV sleeve simulator. This innovative wearable device is designed to provide students training in IV starts and medication administration.

You unlocked barriers to art education in establishing the new Bob Schwieger Scholarship Endowment. This scholarship celebrates Schwieger, former professor at Minot State who guided and taught countless students in the art department from 1967 to 1990, and will provide tuition assistance for generations of art students.

You expanded the Speech Sound Disorders Lab with the Phillips Lumify portable ultrasound where traditional treatment methodologies and state-of-the-art biofeedback technology are utilized to maximize clients’ benefit. Ultrasound is used in speech-language therapy for those with persistent speech sound difficulties and childhood apraxia of speech, as well as for adults with a history of tongue or mouth cancer and oral phase dysphagia.

You provided encouragement to young readers and their families through the Early Literacy Clinic and Reading Clinic where education students worked with kindergarten and first grade students experiencing reading difficulties.

You transformed the new wrestling facility into a home with lockers and cardio and weight equipment for the practice facility.
