The reunion program chairs will work closely with Fuqua staff to drive engagement and fundraising efforts for the entire class. Primary responsibilities of the class reunion chair include:
Reunion Gift Campaign Volunteers
Approximate time commitment: 2-3 hours per month
The class reunion campaign volunteers will work closely with the Annual Giving team to encourage support of the Fuqua Annual Fund and to educate classmates about the school's philanthropic priorities. Volunteer responsibilities include:
Communication Agents
Approximate time commitment: 2-3 hours per month
Alumni are more inclined to attend reunion weekend when they hear directly from a fellow classmate. Personal outreach is key to our success, and the class communication agent(s) will play an important role in driving class attendance at reunion. Communication agents' primary responsibilities will be:
Social Media Managers
Approximate time commitment: 1-2 hours per month
Social media is a great way to reconnect with your classmates and build excitement for reunion weekend. The social media volunteer(s) will be responsible for creating and/or managing the class Facebook or LinkedIn group. The Development and Alumni Relations team will work with the social media volunteer(s) to share reunion details with classmates in a timely manner.
Class Archivists
Approximate time commitment: 1-2 hours per month
Nothing builds nostalgia and excitement for reunion like photos from your days at Fuqua. The multimedia team will be responsible for collecting and sharing photos with the class social media volunteers and Fuqua's Development and Alumni Relations team, compiling a class slideshow, and uncovering old videos (e.g. FuquaVision). Materials may be used during Friday night's class dinner or Saturday's cocktail parties.
Faculty and Staff Engagement Leaders
Approximate time commitment: 1-3 hours total
The Development and Alumni Relations team reaches out to Fuqua faculty and staff to join the reunion celebration and reconnect with former students. Direct outreach to staff and faculty, who are special to the class, is a great way to ensure that your favorite Fuqua people attend. We encourage you to reminisce among committee members and friends about your favorite Fuqua family members and compile a list of those you'd like to join for any or all of reunion. The faculty and staff engagement volunteer is responsible for personal outreach to Fuqua faculty and staff and coordination with the Development and Alumni Relations team to track invitations and responses.

Regional alumni groups promote communication and interaction among members of the Fuqua community through a variety of professional, social, educational, and family activities.
Successful regional groups start and grow with a strong leadership team. Responsibilities are shared by a team of two to four volunteers depending on the alumni base in the regional area. Alumni volunteers are encouraged to participate for a two-year term; a volunteer's term can be extended if the volunteer and the Alumni Relations team have interest.
Regional Leadership Responsibilities:
Fuqua has three boards that are comprised entirely of alumni.
Selection of Council Members:
Candidates may self-nominate or be nominated by fellow alumni, Fuqua faculty or staff. Alumni Council applications are collected and reviewed each spring by the Alumni Council Chair, Vice Chair, and the Development and Alumni Relations leadership team (known as the "Membership Committee"). The Membership Committee looks to create a balanced Council that includes representation from all Fuqua graduation eras and programs and has a gender and ethnic makeup that reflects the alumni base.
New Alumni Council members are seated in July and are invited to serve a three-year term with the potential to serve an additional two-year term at the agreement of both the Council member and the Council leadership.
(The Fuqua School of Business recognizes underrepresented minorities as being permanent U.S. residents of African American, Hispanic American, or Native American descent. )
Selection of Board Members:
Self-nominations are welcome along with nominations by Fuqua alumni or staff. New members will be selected by the Executive Committee.
The Health Care Alumni Advisory Board was created in January 2011 to strengthen and promote the value of the Health Sector Management program and to enhance the professional and personal development opportunities of alumni in the health care community. The Health Care Alumni Advisory Board advises on issues that impact current students, Fuqua graduates, and the school's reputation.
The board is comprised of individuals who have completed a degree program at Fuqua and work or have strong professional interest in the health care industry. Every effort is made to represent the diverse membership of the alumni community in regard to Fuqua's programs, class years, health care specializations, and geographic areas.
Nomination and Selection:
Candidates may self-nominate or be nominated to serve by a fellow alumnus or member of Fuqua's faculty or staff. The standard term of membership is three years with the opportunity to renew for an additional two-year term. Nominations are collected and reviewed annually by the board's Executive Committee and members of the Fuqua Development and Alumni Relations team.
Alumni can volunteer to sit on a panel, be a guest speaker, or mentor students as they begin their career.
Meetings are usually held via Skype from August - September unless other arrangements have been made to meet in person. All MBA alumni and MMS alumni who graduated three years prior can hold Career Advisor to MMS positions.
The Admissions Office relies heavily on your help to recruit students. Many undecided applicants have chosen Fuqua based on positive interactions with Fuqua alumni, and many of our best students have been referred by alumni.
Ways to Volunteer
There are several ways you can help the admissions team as they recruit the next Fuqua classes:

U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told his colleagues Wednesday that if they intend to defund and dismantle the Affordable Care Act, he will be among those standing in the way.
"The estimates are between 20,000 and 30,000 of those people die each year because of the lack of health insurance," King said during a speech on the Senate floor. "Why doesn't that bother us?"
King spoke late in the day following a more than 20-hour filibuster by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who spoke against the ACA and about why the legislation should be dismantled and defunded. King said he was discouraged the focus wasn't on fixing the legislation.
The Senate was debating a bill that would cut funding to the legislation, commonly called "Obamacare." Some Republicans have said they will not support a continuing federal budget resolution if Obamacare is not gutted. The impasse could lead to a federal government shutdown, if a compromise is not reached.
"Why aren't we spending days and nights here talking about how to solve this problem instead of how to dismantle the most significant health care program that's come to this country in years?" King asked.
He said the reason was because those thousands of deaths happen one at time and are largely "invisible" to the politicians in Washington.
"They happen one at a time," King said. "In Greenville, Maine; in Portland, Maine, in San Diego, California and El Paso, Texas, nobody knows — It's not listed in the obituary: 'Died because of no health insurance.'"
King said if that many people all died on the same day at the same place Congress would act. "We would be turning the world upside down to solve the problem," King said. "Imagine, it's the loss of small town in your state every year."
He said shuttering the federal government over the political dispute around the ACA was unfathomable to him. "I hope this weekend we can let go of this idea that a minority of the government can hold it hostage because of one particular piece of legislation that they don't like," King said.
"This is an economic, but it's also a moral issue," King said.
Obamacare was not perfect and King said he was willing to work with his Republican colleagues to make changes to the law to improve it.
"To those who want to fix it, I stand ready to help," King said. "To those who have ideas and suggestions, I stand ready to listen. To those who want to destroy it, however, I stand in your way."
The Senate was expected to finish its debate and vote on the matter by the end of the day on Sunday.

Worrying about that bit of rhetoric about her debt is a waste of time. We don't know how Erfworld calculates the debt, nor how it could be paid. Maybe she pays it by eating salt tablets. We'll never know, until maybe the last pages of the last Book.
As did I.
... She's supposed to be extremely valuable. She's supposed to have an incredible debt to pay. She has not yet done anything to demonstrate why she should suffer this curse. Therefore...
multilis wrote:Whispri wrote:And... she's supposed to have an astronomical value. A value that carries a terrible debt to pay. And so far, she hasn't done anything a bog standard Croakamancer could not have(With a little help from Clay I suppose). So she has to be more than Caster #7894653, a Croakamancer with (allegedly) a permanent Boost... So, what else is there to earn her this huge debt save skill at war? A hidden, bonus speciality? Is being destined to bond to the Arkenpliers really all there is to it?
She started out as a level 1 caster, she is still alive and at least level 3 in very short period of time. Her side is basically outnumbered 5 to 1 as their only friends are really helping the enemy set up ambushes. I suspect your average level 1 croakmancer would likely have been killed several times in ambushes, and would have most likely had spells such as uncroak every unit in this hex fizzle/fail, and would have made a mess out of many of the uncroakings... she likely has effectively several levels better of croakomancy then she should because of the luck boost.
Normally a caster is worth much more than a warlord, and she is a super-luck boosted caster. In smilar way I suspect Jack and Jill are also super luck boosted based on how their eyes also have pupils like Parson. In Jill's case seems part of her luck is everyone falling in love with her.
"We don't know how Erfworld calculates the debt, nor how it could be paid." - We have hint that a luckomancer by helping one person takes luck from others on same side, and that Wanda has fate give the luck. So it might be that everyone else around wanda suffers some bad luck as part of that debt.
Her level rate is actually rather unimpressive for three battles and an unknown number of field skirmishes (We've seen a Hobgobwyn Heavy gain two levels in as many minor engagements). Yer bog standard Croakamancer would have been boosted by Clay, achieving the same effect. A Croakamancer after all, belongs in the thick of the fighting.
So she's boosted, that should pay for itself by Booping over others as needed. She's incured an astronomical debt just by being brought into existence. Being good at her job doesn't earn a bill like that, she has to be magnificent. Or else she's been cursed for no reason. She's going to accidentally an entire side. What could be worth that level of bad luck? Never mind that Croakamancy seems to be a one trick pony, it's a good trick, but one that requires a lot of muscle to make work.

teratorn wrote:Eras10, there was no way Jetstone could win with Wanda alive on the ground, not with the way multipliers work. Their ground army without Ossomer's bonus was much weaker than it was before Ossomer's capture while Wanda's army probably got a boost from the fall and the joining of any Jetstone soldiers in the atrium.
This is, in my opinion, the gist of it. Before Ossomer got decrypted, this was about a toe to toe battle. It was JS last stand, at the capitol, with every reserve force availible called in; against GK's unstoppable steamroller. But thanks to the fact that JS had been manuevering for a few turns while GK was marching; JS had a chance to put some tactical plans into motion and even up the numbers game with bonus stacking. Then GK stole Ossomer's bonus. That not only lowered JS over all availible modifiers, it allowed GK to split it's force into two armies, each with a SoJS warlord bonus of at least +8. That heavily swung the edge into GK's favor; in fact, had it not been for Charlie's turn ending spell, I don't think it would have even been much of a battle. More like a rout that could either have been mind bogglingly effective, or won them the city while forcing them to pause and regroup; depening on the tactics of the ground game.
I'm begining to think that this round will go to Charlie. Parson took the victory in Book 1 with no challenger left standing to argue, but this time Charlie realises what calibur opponent he's playing with and has been laying the groundwork for this fight since the volcano went ka-blooey. Which goes in with what Wanda told him about being a tool of Fate and loosing a great deal.

It is common for people to have problems in hair loss. Most have the common notion that only men are prone to hair loss, but women also are vulnerable to this condition. There are different causes of hair fall and there are also some common ways of treating this condition that will be discussed in this article.
Hair loss has different causes but among all these, androgenetic alopecia is the common cause of hair loss in a great number of people. Both genders suffer from this condition. Androgenetic alopecia tends to have a thinner hair at the onset of the condition. Then there will be a receding hairline. This condition is further hastened by hormonal changes, poor nutrition, medication, and medical treatment.
Hair fall among women and teenage girls occur during hormonal changes. Women are affected by hair fall during pregnancy and after pregnancy. It is normal for women to have hair fall during this event as the body is undergoing hormonal changes and hair just grows back naturally.
The most effective method of treating bald head is to use surgery. This is a very costly procedure but one gets instant results. This method is called hair transplant. The surgeon transfers hair follicles from one part of the body to the area that is balding. This is technically known as Follicular Unit Transplantation.
On the other hand, if a person does not experience serious hair loss, it is best to use minoxidil. The good thing about minoxidil is that it is the sole FDA approved topical solution that is proven to be effective and is clinically tested. Men utilize products that contain 5% of minoxidil while women should use only products with 2% minoxidil. Results are noticeable within two months. However, there is this annoying side effect of having an itching scalp and head that has full of dandruff. These can be irritating to most users of minoxidil.
It is nice to be able to solve these problems using various topical solutions. However, it is crucial that one knows the source and cause of hair loss and fight these causes. One should eat food that has more vitamins, iron, and other supplements that produce healthy hair.
Hair loss is a problem that has different causes and also has various treatments and solutions. One just has to find which solution works best for each cause.
Hair loss can be treated.

When I started my quest for better and better sound from my stereo rig in the late fall of 2011, I had no idea where the Pied Piper of the Polk Forum aka DarqueKnight would lead me. I didnt even know it was a rabbit hole I was facing!
I had sought and acquired a pair of SDA SRSs, like those I had coveted some 22 years before.
Then, I went after a bigger, more powerful Perreaux amplifier, like the one I had coveted when I first heard it driving those SRSs in1989.
After I installed the SRSs and a close approximation of that big Perreaux amplifier, however, I realized that the vintage electronics just werent up to driving the SRSs to the level I sought. So, I bought the latest and greatest Perreaux preamp and monoblock amplifiers NOT COMMON GROUND, I need to emphasize and I had a big problem!
And then the fun began: On the advice of Perreauxs lead engineer, DarqueKnights Dreadnought came to the rescue! Building a rudimentary Dreadnought was a challenge even I could manage, given the clear and precise instructions DK provided all of us.
But, once the Dreadnought solved that frightening mismatching-ground problem, DarqueKnights irresistible piping in thread after thread led me to covet ever higher performance and requisite modifications of the SRSs. I had never imagined in my wildest fantasies where vintage Polks could go! Kind of like the Star Trek of the Kingdom of Audiophilia new worlds where no man except DarqueKnight himself had ever gone.
But DQ is an accomplished Electrical Engineer, and Im a mere mortal that is, a retired HR executive whose last close contact with a soldering iron was when he earned his novice ham radio operators license (KN9MXH) in 1958 (or thereabouts) and tried to assemble a Heathkit receiver.
August 2012: Enter Trey Roseman, doing business as Vr3 Mods, best described as the Equalizer for technically challenged newbies like me. With trepidation, I contacted Trey about building new crossovers with 21st century capacitors, resistors, and inductors; a Gimpod circuit board, and replacing the SDA inductors and binding posts with contemporary, audiophile-grade components.
Trey is remarkable to work with. Not only did he give sound advice about the components that should be specified in his projects, he gave me advice in a manner that made me confident that he sincerely had my interests in mind, not how to maximize his profit at my expense! I felt sure that he was in the business because he loves the work he does and wants to improve the sound his customers get from their speakers.
Furthermore, Trey had the patience and tenacity to give me, a real newbie, clear and concise instructions about how to remove the crossovers and binding post cups and package them for mailing, as well as to make very clear how the wiring harnesses should be labeled to make reassembly easy!
Of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, or more precisely the proof of the speaker mods is in the listening. And here Treys product exceeded my highest expectations.
Immediately after installation, the sound reproduction of my system was dramatically improved. Most noticeable from the very beginning was the improved reproduction of the music at significantly lower volume. As my wife and I put more and more hours on the new crossovers and other components, the vintage SRSs opened up like a fine old Burgundy.
The sound stage was wider, higher, and deeper. Highs were clearer, and transients faster and better defined. Midrange performance was dramatically improved, and bass was tighter and carried the timbre of instruments far more clearly.
After the necessary burn-in time, the performance of the speakers reached a level of realism that I had not expected. As I have noted in other posts, however, I began to hear more distinctly what I called a muddle in the middle of complex orchestral music. The question was, Was this a limitation of the speakers and their new components or of other elements in my system?
Since I installed the Vr3 Mods in my SRSs, I have introduced several other changes in my system including Audioquest Sky interconnects between the preamp and my monoblocks, a Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One 5.0 power conditioner on a dedicated circuit, upgraded power cords on all components. The muddle in the middle is virtually gone.
What does this say about Treys Vr3 crossovers and other mods? It says that they were up to the task of carrying their weight in rendering the best sound out of my system when these other supporting upgrades were added to the mix.
The strongest endorsement I can offer of Trey and Vr3 Mods is that I sent the crossovers and binding post cups from my SDA 1Cs to him for similar modifications. In the course of modifying them, he ran into a problem with getting the correct inductors. He explained the problem, kept me informed, and completed the work as expeditiously as he could.
Now, he has given me advice about how to build power cords for my CD player and preamp, including both materials to use (e.g., Supra Rondo Lo Rad 2.5 cable) and how to achieve a 9-AWG equivalent cord with shotgun construction.
I am not a seasoned audiophile who can call up all the right terms to describe how my speakers were improved by Treys fine work, nor am I a technical expert who can provide scientific data to verify the differences in performance that I and more important, my wife hear.
I am, however, a customer and now a friend who has complete confidence in Trey and who appreciates the exceptional work he does with sincere concern for the product he delivers and the experience his customers have throughout the process of modifying their speakers with Vr3 Mods products.
As Toolfan66 says, Trey for Polkie of the year!

Detroit Pistons Draft Dreams: Ben Hansbrough
Although Ben Hansbrough's college career got a slower start than older brother Tyler's, the younger bro had a standout senior season and was named Big East Player of the Year. His shooting ability will certainly attract NBA attention.
Measurables: 6-foot-3, 203 pounds, senior G from Notre Dame
Key stats: 18.4 points,4.3 assists per game while shooting 48 percent from the field and 43 percent from three
Projected: Second round
How would he help the Pistons?
Hansbrough's 3-point shooting is his most NBA-ready skill, shooting 44 percent this season from three and shooting above 40 percent from long range and three of his four college seasons. The fact that as a senior at Notre Dame he showed the ability to not only shoot, but create shots for others, has made him more of an NBA prospect than he was considered to be a year ago. The Pistons have only two players — Austin Daye and Ben Gordon — who can be called natural 3-point shooters, so adding a player with Hansbrough's stroke in the second round would certainly give them more flexibility to put shooters on the floor to compliment the team's slashers.
The fact that he excelled as Notre Dame's point guard this season, particularly in the pick and roll, should make him even more appealing to the Pistons considering the team has yet to find the long-term answer at that position. Hansbrough may not be a NBA starter, but his shooting, toughness and his competitiveness are three key areas where he could help improve the Pistons.
How wouldn't he help the Pistons?
Adding any guard who isn't going to be an immediate starter is not the best proposition for the Pistons. Hansbrough, even if he will be a solid NBA player at some point, wouldn't be likely to crack the rotation barring a trade or two by the Pistons to clear out some guards. And although he proved to be a solid point guard at the college level this season, it remains to be seen if he has the quickness, ball-handling or finishing ability to excel at that position as anything more than a role player in the NBA.
What are others saying?
SHe generates over a third of his offense in pick-and-roll and isolation situations, where he is extremely efficient. He has a below average first step for an NBA point guard, but he has good size and strength and is a strong ball handler capable of changing speeds effectively. He shows choppy footwork and has the ability to use quick spin moves to keep defenders off balance and draw fouls.
Hansbrough may not be the sexiest prospect in the draft, but he's one of the most productive. Hansbrough has been one of the Top 10 players in the country this year, and does just about everything for his team. He'll never fit the physical profile that NBA scouts are looking for, but his toughness and shooting ability are a big plus. Think of him as a smaller version of his brother, Tyler.
The Hansbroughs are close — Tyler recently said his younger brother is "still my favorite teammate ever" — and being separated by 130 miles has made it easy for them to keep tabs on each other. They're also extremely competitive.

Latest revision as of 21:15, 12 January 2007
Poison ivy (Rhus toxicodendron or Toxicodendron radicans) is a problem commonly encountered while caching. In most people, it causes a rash, however some people have little or no sensitivity to the irritant oil, which is called urushiol.
The plant is characterized by 3 notched leaves. The middle leaf looks like when you put your hands on top of one another, with the thumbs outward, and the outer leaves look like a mitten with a thumb. The plant is sometimes confused with Virginia Creeper, which looks similar to the poison ivy plant, only with 5 leaves. However, Virginia Creeper sap apparently contains oxalate crystals which can cause in some individuals contact dermatitis. Both plants have hairy vines.
Some plants look similar (wild blackberry, for one) but are not poison ivy. As a rule of thumb: Leaves of three, leave it be.
[edit] Urushiol
The oil in poison ivy that causes the rash.
[edit] Persistence
Urushiol can remain active for years, it is NOT inactivated during winter. Specimens of urushiol several centuries old have found to cause dermatitis in sensitive people. Urushiol may remain on clothing, shoes, gardening implements, or even your dog's fur for a long time. A good washing with an oil-cutting detergent should remove it. Wiping down with alcohol will cut the oil and wipe it away. Burning poison ivy releases urushiol into the smoke, which can cause a reaction on the skin or in the lungs or airway.
Urushiol is released from the plant when the plant is damaged, which happens when you brush up against it or step on it. Someone else or some animal could have damaged the plant long ago as well without your knowlege, so don't gently handle the plant and assume that you will not have a reaction.
[edit] Immunity
Some people may be immune to the urushiol, but it is a sensitizer, so most people will eventually become allergic after repeated contact.
[edit] Treatment
Once a person comes into contact with Urushiol, a rash may form within hours. It is important to wash the affected area as quickly as possible with a detergent. It would also be a good idea to wash all the clothes that you may have been wearing when you came into contact with the plant. Reactions can last from days to weeks.
[edit] Self-Treatment
It is important to remove the oil from the skin as soon as possible after contact occurs. Wiping down the skin with a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol can halt the reaction. BigWhiteTruck, who is very sensitive to poison ivy always does this at the first sign of a rash forming, and swears that it keeps the rash from getting worse.
It is not true that poison ivy can "get into your system", and spread throughout your body. What is actually happening is you have multiple exposure sites that are appearing at different rates, or there is still urushiol on your body or clothing that you are unknowingly spreading yourself. That is why it is important to wipe down the skin and wash the clothing that may have come into contact with the plant as soon as possible. Also, wounds and blisters that may occur during the rash do not carry urushiol, so people can't get it from coming in contact with the affected skin.
[edit] Medical Treatment
In some cases, medical professionals such as your family doctor will prescribe heavy-duty anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone which will reduce the reaction.

|Deborah Wittenberg, 50
|Written by TRF Times
St. Hilaire - Deborah Wittenberg, 50, of St. Hilaire, died at her home on Tuesday, Aug. 7, surrounded by her loving family after a long, courageous battle with cancer.
Funeral services were held on Monday, Aug. 13 at Zion Lutheran Church, Thief River Falls, with Rev. John Golv and Rev. Ale Tulu officiating. Casket bearers included Paul Tostenrud, Vern Wittenberg, Rob Almquist, Rick Trontvet, Mari Jo Nabben and Corie Erickson. Honorary casket bearers included Deb's godmother, Nancy Manzey, Kari Wittenberg and Deb's Digi-Key family. Interment was held at Greenwood Cemetery, Thief River Falls.
Deborah Kay Tostenrud was born on Jan. 21, 1962 in Springfield, the daughter of Donald and Loretta (Mellenthin) Tostenrud. She was baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Springfield. She started playing church organ at St. John's Lutheran Church during eighth grade. Deb attended Springfield Public School graduating in 1980. While in school, Deb was very active in the music program and also was her class homecoming queen.
Deb attended Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and earned her bachelor's degree in business management in 1984. She was a member of the Luther College Symphony Orchestra and the Luther College Concert Band; and worked in the office of the music department.
One day during the fall after Deb graduated from Luther College, she was bringing lunch to her brother at a welding shop in Springfield, and there she met her future husband, Dick Wittenberg. It was love at first sight. On June 14, 1986, the couple was married at St. John's Lutheran Church in Springfield. They made their home in St. Louis Park and Deb worked fundraising for the Minnesota Orchestra, Gillette Children's Hospital and Variety Club Heart Hospital. Dick worked for the Minnesota State Patrol. Deb was always very supportive of his career and sacrificed much for the State Patrol family.
In 1994, they moved to Thief River Falls and for the first few months, Deb worked for the Red Lake County Auditor's Office. In 1995, she began working at Digi-Key, where she became the manager in Human Resources of Learning and Development. Deb was a dedicated, hardworking employee who loved her job and Digi-Key family. She worked throughout her illness up to the very end.
In 1998, Deb and Dick were blessed with a daughter, Leah. She developed her mother's musical interests and her father's love of the outdoors and farm life. Deb relished the time nurturing her daughter's musical talent and providing for her musical education with Marcia Knuttila's piano studio. Deb, Dick and Leah enjoyed many trips around the state for musical contests.
Deb was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls, where she played as an organist on Sunday and accompanied the senior choir. She was also involved in other musical activities in the church. Music and church were a very big part of Deb's life.
Survivors include her loving husband of 26 years, Dick of St. Hilaire; loving daughter, Leah; mother, Loretta Tostenrud of Springfield; mother-in-law, Maxine Wittenberg of Gonvick; brothers, Steven (Pauline) Tostenrud of Billings, Mont., David (Jill) Tostenrud of New Ulm; sister, Barbara (Robert) Garrett of Chandler, Ariz.; brothers-in-law, Dan (Shelly) Wittenberg of Kimball and Vern (Kari) Wittenberg of Gonvick; loving nieces and nephews and many relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Tostenrud in 1997; sister, Linda Tostenrud in 1958; and father-in-law, Vern Wittenberg Sr. in 2012.

How To Propose An Event
The goal of the Concert and Lecture Series is to bring high quality programs and speakers to for the benefit of students, faculty, staff and the general public. Because the budget for honoraria comes from student fees, all C/LS events must be presented FREE and must be open to the public.
The Concert and Lecture Series Committee, which oversees the program and approves all expenditures, is a shared governance sub-committee of the Student Prep for Success Committee. Thus, we proceed by following the college shared governance policies and procedures. The C/LS Committee usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 1 pm in Room 422 Batmale Hall. All meetings are open.
If you have an idea for a program, speaker, film or other presentation, the best thing to do is to place a call or send an email to the C/LS office: email@example.com; 415.239.3580; or firstname.lastname@example.com. Talking over the idea with C/LS staff will help to clarify whether the program is appropriate for C/LS to produce or whether some other entity is more in line with the nature of the event.
Talking to C/LS first also helps us determine whether a venue would be available; whether the time-frame is adequate; whether the funding is available; and other logistical considerations.
Another way to organize your proposal is to use the C/LS proposal form, found on this website, or by clicking HERE, to write down the details C/LS will need in order to evaluate the proposal.
In general, proposals should include:
-At least a two-month lead time from the date of the anticipated C/LS committee meeting to approve funding (e.g., October 1 for meeting October 5; event date of December 5 at the latest)
-The name, contact info, background and qualifications of the presenter
-The anticipated Student Learning Outcomes – in our case, a general statement of what audience members would take away from the program that makes this presentation worthwhile to the College
-The amount of funding requested and any shared funding from other entities
-The source of the audience: for instance, specific classes committed to attend (we require a "core audience" guarantee)
-Any other pertinent information (websites; special requirements for microphones, PowerPoint and other equipment; accessible space).
Once the proposal has been discussed with C/LS staff, it will be placed onto the minutes of the next C/LS Committee meeting.
The person proposing the event is welcome to attend the committee meeting to explain the proposal or answer any questions.
The committee takes the proposal under advisement and votes on approval after excusing the non-committee members.
Staff notifies the person making the proposal of the determination of the committee, including any reservations or contingencies (shared funding, for instance).
After all questions and contingencies have been met, the committee will take a final vote on whether to approve the proposal.
