SIX BSC EMPLOYEES RECEIVE EXCELLENCE AWARDS Bismarck State College honored six employees with the Award of Excellence at the 8th annual BSC Celebration May 5. The award recognizes significant or meritorious performance in professional roles.

Faculty recipients were Joe Ellefson, associate professor of criminal justice, and Carmel Miller, associate professor of precision agriculture.

Ellefson’s student nominator praised his unique style of teaching, saying it helped the student learn at a much faster pace than in other classes. Miller was cited for inventing a new curriculum for an emerging industry, making students more qualified and marketable.

Chosen for a Staff Award of Excellence were Kay Schilla, a maintenance worker in the Jack Science Center, and Samantha Harris, former BSC admissions counselor.

Schilla takes great pains to maintain an environment conducive to student learning and employee productivity by tirelessly monitoring temperature, lighting, air quality and ambient noise. Harris was lauded for outstanding involvement in showcasing BSC to prospective students.

Part-time and Adjunct Faculty Awards of Excellence went to Michael Luger, faculty/Campus Information Center assistant, and Cathy Schuh, criminal justice lecturer. Luger’s nominator said he seems to anticipate every need and provides reliable and personable help. Schuh was praised for her commitment to BSC and her students and sharing knowledge in a straightforward, and professional, manner.

Recipients were chosen from 41 nominations by students and BSC employees. The BSC Foundation Programs Committee and representatives from faculty, staff and students determined the winners. Full-time award winners received a $1,000 cash gift from the Foundation and part-time employees received a $250 cash gift.

Join us as we tackle a time in history like no otherBismarck State College will host

its fourth symposium, The 60s:

Turmoil and Transformation

November 3-5, 2015.

We’ll explore the themes of one of the most momentous decades in American history – civil rights, the war in Vietnam, the race to the moon, the political career of Richard M. Nixon, the counter-culture, the women’s rights movement, the maturation of television, and the rock n’ roll revolution. Participants will enjoy a comprehensive

retrospective of the years between the death of John F. Kennedy in November 1963, and the fall of Saigon in 1975, leading to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the decade that transformed America in ways not seen before or since. Speakers include Pulitzer Prize Winner Lawrence Wright on growing up in the 1960s, national television expert Mary Ann Watson, bestselling author Rick Perlstein, and North Dakota natives and sixties activists Mike Jacobs and Kevin Carvel. More speakers and acts will be announced. Learn more at bismarckstate.edu/1960s.
