University Of North Dakota: More Than 1,600 Were Eligible to Cross Stage During UND Spring Commencements May 12-13(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) RDATE:31072007 U.S. Sen. Kent Conrad was the main speaker for the University of North Dakota's general Spring Commencement Saturday, May 12, 1:30 p.m at the Alerus Center. The commencement aired live on UND Channel 3 and also was streamed live at www.und.edu. More than 1,600 students were eligible to walk across the stage during what likely will be the last general Spring Commencement presided over by UND President Charles Kupchella. He announced in January his intent to retire as early as Jan. 25, 2008, although he left the door open for staying on up to six months more to allow the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education time to find a successor. In addition to the general commencement, UND held separate commencement ceremonies for the School of Law and the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Sixty-eight students received the Juris Doctor (JD) degree from the UND School of Law on Saturday, May 12, at the UND Chester Fritz Auditorium. President Charles Kupchella and Law School Dean Paul LeBel presided, and Laurence Gilman, UND class of 1994 and assistant general manager of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes, was the commencement speaker. Fifty-five senior medical students received the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree during the School of Medicine and Health Sciences commencement ceremonies May 13 at the Chester Fritz Auditorium. President Charles Kupchella and Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean H. David Wilson presided. The keynote address was presented by Bret Haake, clinical professor of clinical neuroscience at the UND medical school and executive partner for neurology services with the MeritCare Medical Group, Fargo. His address was titled, "The 'Value Equation.'" At the general Spring Commencement, UND bestowed the Doctor of Letters on two UND alums and native North Dakotans. The founder and director of the North Dakota Museum of Art, Laurel Reuter is known throughout the art world as a productive scholar and a excellent curator. Russell Lefevre is widely recognized in the field of electrical engineering. He is president-elect of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and currently serves as its vice president for technology policy and as past president of the its Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society. UND also bestowed the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professorship on three faculty members: F. Richard Ferraro, psychology, Roger Melvold, microbiology, and Stephen Wonderlich, clinical neuroscience. Sen. Kent Conrad Sen. Kent Conrad has dedicated his life to serving the people of North Dakota, starting with his six years as North Dakota's Tax Commissioner before his successful 1986 bid for the U.S. Senate. North Dakotans have sent Conrad to represent them in Washington, D.C. in five successive elections. His public service to North Dakota and the nation has won him acclaim for his effectiveness and budget acumen. Time magazine featured Conrad as one of "America's Ten Best Senators," The American magazine ranked him as one of "10 Most Economically Literate Members of Congress," and the Bismarck Tribune called Conrad "the most influential senator North Dakota has ever produced." A fifth-generation North Dakotan, Conrad was born in Bismarck and attended Roosevelt Elementary and Hughes Junior High. After serving as the North Dakota Tax Commissioner for six years, he was elected to the United States Senate on a platform of "Yes, We Can!" optimism and a common sense approach to federal policy. During his 20 years as an advocate for North Dakota in Washington, D.C. Conrad helped write the 2002 Farm Bill, wrote health care policy that ensured continued access to hospitals in rural areas, and fought unfair trade practices that hurt North Dakota's economy. He has introduced comprehensive energy legislation that would make the United States more energy independent. And his landmark economic development initiative, Marketplace for Entrepreneurs, is North Dakota's signature effort to boost the state's economy. Conrad has bipartisan respect as an expert on federal budget matters and is considered a leading Congressional "deficit hawk." With the Democrats winning the majority in the Senate in November, Conrad is now the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. Honorary Doctor of Letters Two Native North Dakotans were awarded the honorary Doctor of Letters: Laurel Reuter The founder and director of the North Dakota Museum of Art, Laurel Reuter was born in Devils Lake, N.D., and raised in Tokio, N.D., on what is now the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation. She attended high school in Devils Lake before attending the University of North Dakota where she earned two undergraduate degrees and an M.A. in English. Reuter started what is now the Museum as a student gallery on the top floor of the Memorial Student Union on the UND campus in the early 1970s while a graduate student in the Department of English. She said her goal was "to build the best small museum in America." In November 1996 the Museum became a private, not-for-profit cultural institution. Three years later, Reuter received the 1999 Award of Distinction from the National Council of Art Administrators at their national meeting in San Francisco. She gave the keynote address at their banquet in November 1999, speaking about her work as founding director of the North Dakota Museum of Art. The National Council cited her for "her dedication to art and to culture in North Dakota and her struggle to create a world-class museum in a remote environment." Furthermore, they commended her for "helping a devastated community draw together and recover its spiritual existence." Two years earlier, the Greater Grand Forks area suffered the Flood of 1997. The North Dakota Museum of Art's work within the community after the flood received wide recognition in the national media. CBS News Sunday Morning produced two specials about Reuter's work at the Museum. The New York Times featured the Museum in a long article written by Ian Swanson. And ARTnews ran a feature story on Reuter in their November 1998 issue. Reuter has curated more than 100 exhibitions by regional, national and international artists. She also is widely published, including a book, Whole Cloth; co-editing Under the Whelming Tide: 1997 Flood of the Red River Valley of the North, essays and catalogs. She has delivered many public lectures on related to art. In 1998, Reuter was one of 20 people profiled by the Bismarck Tribune in their first edition of Notable North Dakotans. As recently as April, Reuter was cited in the New York Times for her work to put together a traveling exhibit about the victims of terror through kidnapping that has occurred -- and still occurs -- in some totalitarian Latin American regimes. The viewer, Holland Cotter, writes: "'The Disappeared' was organized by Laurel Reuter, founding director and chief curator of the North Dakota Museum of Art in Grand Forks. It is scheduled to travel through North and South America for three years, and has a bilingual catalog that is a work of art in itself. From Ms. Reuter's stunning essay to the supplementary material, it is a total- immersion emotional experience. "And why is it that an on-the-road exhibition from a small museum in the Midwest is the most potent show of contemporary art, political or otherwise, in town? All I can say is that curators in our local museums should pay a visit, and ask themselves that question." Russell Lefevre Russell Lefevre is a Life Fellow of the IEEE. He was born and grew up in Grafton, N.D. He received his B.S. and M.S. in physics from the University of North Dakota, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has over 30 years experience as a radar system engineer. At Hughes Aircraft Company, he was the lead engineer for the first Navy airborne multi-mode radar. At Technology Service Corporation, his activities included identifying advanced technologies, performing R&D on promising new applications, developing business opportunities and strategies, and organizing proposal activities. He had a lead role in securing more than 80 Small Business Innovations Research awards. During 2001, Lefevre was an IEEE-USA Congressional Fellow serving as Science Advisor to Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. He was the Senate Staff person responsible for organizing the activity leading to the National Science Foundation Math and Science Partnership program to make a significant improvement in K-12 education. Dr. Lefevre was personally responsible for inclusion of the Noyce Scholarships that provide scholarships for college students who major in a technical field and commit to teaching two years for each year of support in a Title 1 K-12 school. Lefevre is the 2007 President-Elect of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers-USA and currently serves as IEEE Vice President Technology Policy. He is past-president of the IEEE's Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society. Chester Fritz Distinguished Professors Also at the main spring commencement, UND awarded its highest honor for faculty, the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professorship, to three individuals: Dr. F. Richard Ferraro, Dr. Roger Melvold, and Dr. Stephen Wonderlich. F. Richard Ferraro Ric Ferraro has compiled a remarkable record of accomplishment and service in his 15 years with UND's Department of Psychology. He is an engaging speaker and teacher, admired by colleagues and students alike. He has been extensively involved in service and governance activities, including the committee that won funding for and helped design the new Northern Plains Center for Behavioral Research. To describe Ferraro's scholarly record as "impressive" is an understatement. He has 167 peer-reviewed publications and 205 conference presentations. He and his collaborators have received grant funding of over $7.5 million. He has served as the editor or co-editor of four scholarly journals in his field, and as a consulting editor and reviewer for many others. At the 2005 Founders Day, the University honored him with the Thomas J. Clifford Faculty Achievement Award for Excellence in Research. Ferraro received his bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Potsdam and his master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Kansas. Before joining the UND faculty in 1992, he was with the University of Kansas and Washington University (St. Louis, Mo.); at the latter he held dual appointments with the Psychology Department and the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center/Memory and Aging Project. Ferraro directs the General Experimental Program in UND's Department of Psychology. He has taught an extensive range of courses, including Adult and Child Neuropsychology, Cognitive Psychology, Aging and Age-Related Diseases, Interactive Computer Programming, special topics, and seminars, just to name a few. Roger Melvold One nominator describes him as "simply one of the very best instructors in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences." Melvold joined the UND faculty in 1997 as professor of microbiology and immunology and department chair. He is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of mouse genetics and immunology. As a scientist and administrator, he has strengthened the resources, faculty, and scholarly reputation of his department. Melvold is particularly admired for his teaching style and his ability to relate to students. By incorporating dimensions such as history and art into his presentations, he encourages his students to appreciate the human aspects as well as the technical knowledge of their field. Another nominator wrote, "Roger Melvold represents the best in medical education. He conveys to his students the importance of self-reliance, responsibility and lifelong learning, the tremendous value of the history of medicine and of practicing the science and art of the profession with dignity." Melvold received his bachelor's degree in biology at Minnesota State University Moorhead and his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas. He was a research associate at Harvard University and a faculty member at Northwestern University before coming to UND. His research has resulted in more than 135 full-length publications and numerous abstracts and reviews. His outstanding skills as a teacher have generated numerous honors and enthusiastic praise from colleagues and students. Stephen A. Wonderlich A member of the UND faculty since 1987, Wonderlich holds the rank of professor and serves as associate chair of the Department of Clinical Neuroscience. He has also served as director of clinical research in the Neuropsychiatric Research Institute in Fargo since 1999. He also serves as an adjunct professor of psychology for both UND and North Dakota State University. Wonderlich has earned an international reputation for his research into aspects of eating disorders. "As a result [of his work], most of us have a much better understanding of the complexities of anorexia and bulimia nervosa, especially in terms of pre-morbid traumatic events and personality factors," one colleague wrote. "There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Wonderlich's work has had, and continues to have, a very real impact on improved patient care in eating disorders." Other nominators from across the country praised his teaching skills, his extensive record of professional activities andpresentations, and his involvement in civic causes, particularly on behalf of abused and neglected children. A colleague wrote, "He is widely regarded as an outstanding mentor and a master clinician, and is widely viewed as an outstanding role model for clinicians, teachers, and researchers of the future." A native of Moorhead, Minn., Wonderlich received his bachelor's degree from Concordia College and his master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Missouri. He held an internship and fellowship with the University of Wisconsin before coming to UND.
