Dunwoody College of Technology held its annual Evening of Recognition Sept. 16, 2010 on campus.

Alumni John Adamich and Doug Olson were honored as was industry partner Graco Inc.

The Doug Olson family

2010 Alumni Entrepreneur of the Year: Doug OlsonDunwoody “was the school to go to” if you wanted to bepart of the electrical industry, says Doug Olson. So that’swhere he went, and two decades later he became presidentand co-owner of Premier Electrical, and his career as anentrepreneur was launched.

After attending Dunwoody, Doug worked as an electricianfor various firms and began his apprenticeship training. He became a licensed Journeyman Wireman in 1971, and in 1975 was hired by Premier Electrical Corporation.

A little more than a decade later, Premier Electrical’s ownerdecided to divest his holdings in the company, and agreedto sell the Twin Cities location to Olson and his co-workerFred Jahnke. Since taking over in 1987, the two havediversified the services the company offers, grown it toabout 200 employees (including several Dunwoody alumni),and more than tripled yearly revenue.

Premier Electrical, which is located in Brooklyn Park, is now known for taking on unique projects and, according to Doug, benefits from a lot of repeat business from satisfied customers.

To succeed as an entrepreneur, Doug says you need to have“the ambition and the drive to make something successfulas little or large as it might be.” But that you also need to“really enjoy what you do” otherwise you’ll burn out.

Doug served six years on the Board of Directors of theMinneapolis chapter of the National Electrical ContractorsAssociation (NECA) and then three years as president (1998-2000) and four years as governor (2001-2004). During that time he worked to bring about the MinneapolisJoint Apprenticeship and Training Center. In 2003, hereceived NECA’s Jame J. McGraw award for that effort and was also inducted into the NECA Academy of Electrical Contracting.

He has also served on the Dunwoody Alumni AssociationBoard of Managers and been an active volunteer with the College’s Annual Fund.

PROGRAM PROFILE

Graduates from Dunwoody’sAutomated Systems and Roboticsprogram (ASRO) are, by training,

jacks-of-all-trades. As they go out in tothe workforce, they usually end up beingresponsible for making sure thatmanufacturing, packaging and othersystems are running at top efficiency.

As E.J. Daigle, director of Robotics and Manufacturing Technology, explains: “These students graduate with multiple skill sets including:electrical troubleshooting; mechanicaland fluid power systems; electronics;programmable logic controllers (PLCs);robotics systems; packaging equipment;and the ability to immediately make adifference at their workplace.”

Tom Larson, who graduated in thesummer of 2010 and landed a job forAlliant Techsystems Inc, appreciated themulti-disciplinary approach. “It offersyou so many different career paths justbecause there are so many areas you canspecialize in,” he said. “More careerpaths mean more career opportunities.”

Tom graduated summa cum laude andwas Dunwoody’s first recipient of theIoPP Bearman / Henningsen Awardwhich is given to a packaging student in recognition of his or her leadershipand academic excellence. He said,“ASRO was the perfect fit for me. The instructors genuinely care aboutyour education and go the extra mile to make sure you have the resources you need to succeed.”

The variety and sheer number ofdifferent mechanical, electrical androbotics skills the students need toacquire can be a lot to take in. But theexpertise of our graduates makes themindispensible to companies that usemanufacturing or packaging systems.And it pays off. For the past 15 years,the College has typically placed 100% of ASRO graduates in automation-relatedjobs within three months of graduation.

The students' sixth quarter full-timeinternship is a key part of that success. It often leads to a full-time position,

and in many cases ASRO students arealready working before they graduate.

The typical job title for an ASRO grad is maintenance mechanic. It’s their job to keep the line up and running at allcosts. “One the major things we ingrainin our students is that every minute ofdowntime is lost revenue,” E.J. said.

Ten years ago the program was calledAutomated Manufacturing Systems andPackaging and the enrollment was low.Since then the program has upgraded itsequipment and curriculum and changedits name to Automated Systems andRobotics. ASRO now has 70 full-timeday students and another 30 part-timeevening students in the evening sisterprogram ICON (Industrial Controls andRobotics). A major factor in the growthhas been that companies are realizinghuge returns on investing in automationand robotics. As more companiesautomate, they need technicians who aretrained in handling all the maintenanceand setup for these manufacturing andpackaging lines.

Fundraising Focus

As a young boy growing up in Hawaii, Francis Dangrealized there was no future in working in thepineapple and sugar cane fields. He knew thateducation was the key to success. His father hadcome to Hawaii from China and found work as achef. Consequently, Francis was introduced to thefood industry and read about Dunwoody in theAmerican Baker’s Journal. Francis studied Baking at Dunwoody, and pursued a career in retail baking,spending 30 years in San Francisco and followed by another 30 years in Hawaii. Francis and Juliapassed away in 2005 and 2009.

Francis Y. Dang, 1939 Baking, wrote to Dunwoody inDecember 2002:

“In 1938 when I attended Dunwoody Institute, it wasnot the best of times nor the worst, but it was verydifficult for an Asian like myself from Hawaii and havingno formal education to try to receive the kind ofeducation and skills to help me get along in this life.

“I feel gratitude to Dunwoody for all that I have gainedbecause Dunwoody was not afraid to take a chancewith me, a poor and uneducated Asian back in the daysof World War II, when there were great prejudicesagainst minority groups.

“I found what I needed to survive in this world atDunwoody, and I contribute the successes in my life to my teachers and my education at Dunwoody. I hopeto carry on a legacy of hope for young students whoshow the potential to succeed and to make the college proud.”

Francis and Julia Dang would be proud to meet theyoung people who recently received support from theirnewly created Francis and Julia Dang Scholarship Fundof the Hawaii Community Foundation. Interest earningsfrom this fund will annually support in perpetuityDunwoody students of Asian descent. In 2010, eightstudents each received $2,000 to help with tuition.

Dunwoody is forever grateful for this thoughtfulleadership gift.

Meet Three Awardees Hmoovtsev (pronounced Moto) Vang (left) came toDunwoody during high school to explore technical careersthrough Dunwoody’s Youth Career Awareness Program. He discovered an interest in Automotive Service and plansto graduate in 2011.

Meet the new president of the DunwoodyAlumni Association Board of ManagersBob Strom, 1963 Machine ToolBob Strom’s connections to manufacturing go back to his youth. His dad was amachinist, and Bob grew up tinkering in the basement with model live steamlocomotives, his dad’s hobby. He first came to Dunwoody to study tool design in1962, returned in 1968 in the evening program for mold design and then againseveral years later for electrical mechanics.

After graduating from Dunwoody and spending two years in the Navy on the firstnuclear-powered aircraft carrier, he returned to Minnesota to work at Olsen Tooland Plastics, a manufacturer of custom engineered plastic parts for the medical,pipe fittings, photo electric and agriculture markets. Forty-five years later he’s stillthere — now as owner and president.

Bob is excited about Dunwoody’s future: ”It’s an honor to serve as Dunwoody’sAlumni Board of Managers president as we prepare for the College’s 100-yearanniversary in 2014,” he said. Bob believes in the importance of raising dollars for education, and has served on Dunwoody’s Fundraising Committee for 10 years, including serving as chair. He also volunteers every year with otherMachine Tool graduates at the College’s Annual Fund phonathon. Both his son and son-in-law attended Dunwoody.

Dunwoody For LifeThe College is planning to offer a series of short evening and weekend workshops offered to alumni to hone their skills. Classes being considered include:

• How to use Microsoft Word

• Develop your public speaking skills

• Tips on running a small business

The workshop series is sponsored by the Dunwoody Alumni Association. For furtherinformation or suggestions for classes you’d like to consider taking, please [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you and value your input so we can continue to meet your educational needs.

DEAR FRIENDS:As we celebrate another successful year at Dunwoody, we also get closer to our 100th anniversary — A Centennial I am looking forward to celebrating along with all of you in 2014. Nearly 100 years ago William Hood Dunwoody had adream, and today his dream is still changing lives. We have students that come from a variety of circumstances, andwhether they come from a traditional family, are first generation college students, are first generation Americans, aresingle parents, working adults or a multitude of other possibilities, they have one thing in common: they come toDunwoody because they know that one student at a time, we change lives!

Think back to your days on the campus. I bet you still remember some of your instructors or have fond memories ofclassmates and other campus experiences. I am sure you took what you learned during your program of study andapplied it to your first job and some of what you learned stayed with you throughout your career. When I speak to alumni, they remember other aspects of their experience at Dunwoody: punching a time clock, the rigor of the work, the dedication of the faculty, and the reputation of Dunwoody’s alumni in business and industry. All of these things arehallmarks of Dunwoody and continue today as our core values.

Why discuss our values in the context of our Centennial? I believe it is our commitment to our values that hasperpetuated Dunwoody’s legacy for nearly 100 years. And I am proud to report that we are still committed to the values that made us great. Today, we live out those values through our commitment to academic excellence, rigorouscourses of study, excellent business and industry partners, and faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters thatbelieve in Dunwoody. Like we have done for 100 years, we continue to change people’s lives by living our values.

I think about the immigrant from Somalia who wrote us an e-mail describing growing up in refugee camps amidst civilwar and poverty. Who overcame these challenges and came to America and attended Dunwoody and today tells us that:“where I am in life, you would never guess that I came from such a dire situation — thanks to Dunwoody.”

“Thanks to Dunwoody” is something I hear often. When student and graduates say thanks to Dunwoody, they arethanking all of you for believing in William and Kate Dunwoody’s dream! It is a magnificent story, and the number of lives this institution has changed is incredible. Every day I get to work with our students, faculty and staff, visit withgraduates and supporters, and meet the business community that we have helped build. They all thank Dunwoody forthe opportunity and success our educational model creates. They thank Dunwoody for the graduates that fill key roles in their company. They thank Dunwoody for our commitment to technical education.

Dunwoody is an institution that has changed lives, built companies and today continues to meet the demands of a high skilled technical work force. And you help make this possible! Thank you for your commitment to making thisorganization great. Stay committed. Be proud. We are Dunwoody!

Ben Granley, 2004 Electrical Design and 2010 Bachelor of Science in AppliedManagementDirector of Operations, Werner Electric

At five years old, Ben Granleylearned how to drive his parent’sBobcat, and at 10 he had a smallbusiness selling rock and black dirtto neighbors. He knew aboutDunwoody because his grandpahad taught welding to oil riggers in Libya through Dunwoody’sInternational Division in the 1950s.

At Dunwoody, Ben met thepresident of Werner Electric at a job fair. He was one of a few who wore a tie that day. He got the job and soon after he showedthe company some warehouseefficiency improvements. Fourmonths later, he supervised a

team of 30. Nearly three years later he worked on a design for a new facility. After that he used his project management skills fromDunwoody to plan the move, enlist and train 150 Werner employees to relocate the company to the new headquarters. They did it themselvesin one weekend resulting in a $500,000 savings. This led to his nextpromotion as continuous improvement leader and distribution manager.

Now at 28, he was recently promoted to director of operations. When asked where he sees himself in the future, he simply said, “I’d like a chance to run the company someday.” Werner Electric is a leader in electrical equipment and tools distribution to theconstruction, automation and robotics industries.

Ann Fincham, 1979 Architectural Drafting and EstimatingProject Manager, Corporate Properties, Wells Fargo

After attending the University of Minnesota in natural sciences, Ann took a year off in 1976 to figure out what she wanted to do with her life,so she got a job working at the Red Owl Stores. She recalled how as achild she spent hours drawing house floor plans and realized she’s had a long time interest in architecture. She decided on Dunwoody becausewhen she asked architectural firms what schools they hired studentsfrom, it was Dunwoody Industrial Institute.

At Dunwoody she learned the importance of responsibility andcommitment. She says that mastering each architectural segmentrequired total dedication. Every month was a new segment and you had to successfully complete it before progressing to the next level.Students punched a time clock and instructors were strict about being on time.

Today she is a project manager, and oversees major remodeling and new building projects for Wells Fargo, with 6,000 nationwide branchesand administrative facilities in U.S. major metro areas. Ann serves on the Dunwoody Alumni Association Board of Managers and is an industryadvisor to the Interior Design program.

Andhi Michaux, 2003 Computer NetworkingSr. Human Resource Generalist, Black River Asset Management

After high school Andhi Michaux wanted to play football and learncomputers. But after two years at a four-year school, he realized hewasn’t learning what he had come for. He saw a Dunwoody TVcommercial and decided to check it out. Dunwoody was just what he’d been looking for. In the first day in his first class, he was asked to disassemble a computer and not leave until it was reassembled.

Jump ahead eight years. Andhi has a great job as a senior humanresource generalist for Black River, a hedge fund subsidiary owned byCargill, where he focuses on employee relations, law, compensationand taxes. He uses his IT training too. He landed the job because heknew IT and had worked for three years in Dunwoody’s HumanResource department after graduation.

Because Andhi believes strongly in the value education offers toachieving success, he started an annual scholarship to help withtuition. He had met many young people as supervisor of Dunwoody’sstudent workers. He saw that so many students had great potential, yet needed those extra dollars to help with tuition to be able to stay in school.

Sarah Lagerstedt, 3rd Year Student, Interior Design

Originally from Minnesota, Sarah lived in San Francisco for 10 yearsuntil she decided at the age of 30 to come back home to be closer toher family. A friend from California who had attended Dunwoody toldher about the Interior Design program. Since Sarah has always been acreative person, it was a good fit.

According to Sarah, “Dunwoody has lots more hands on than Ianticipated. I’m learning the same technology platforms that are usedin business today — software programs like Revit for buildingmodeling, Autocad, Photoshop and Adobe Creative Suite.”

To help make ends meet, Sarah has three part-time jobs includingbeing a student caller for Dunwoody’s annual fund. She likes thechance to talk to alumni because she says that whether they went toschool in the 1940s or in the last 10 or 20 years, everyone speakshighly of their Dunwoody education. Sarah added, “I have a goodfeeling about my career after I graduate and am open to becoming apractical interior designer, or specialize in restaurant design, or evengo into furniture design.”

Brian Busby, 2nd Year Student, Construction Supervision

After working in heavy commercial construction for nine years, BrianBusby chose to come to Dunwoody because he repeatedly heard theDunwoody name in the field. He also wanted a school with strongconnections to industry.

“In going back to school, the first quarter was the hardest because I needed to switch my focus from being an employee to becoming astudent,” Brian said. “I figured out that to make the most of my Dunwoody education, it’s about networking. I wanted to make myselfknown and set myself apart so I got involved in the PTK Honors Societyand the Association of General Contractors. In my first summer, I workedfor Target in an internship. Now they’ve offered me a full-time position inproperty development as an owner’s site representative. I also plan tomove into Dunwoody’s Bachelor of Science in Applied Science to complete a four-year degree.”

Jim Tilbury, 1974 Electrical President, NEDMAC, Inc.

Jim thought he was going to be an electrician like his dad, who was a Dunwoody electrical instructor and department head. However,working part time after school repairing machines and sweeping floorsat his uncle’s manufacturing company NEDMAC opened up newpossibilities for him to consider. He discovered that repairing brokenmachines was more appealing than running wires.

Today Jim is president of the company and co-owner. He’s mostexcited about NEDMAC’s current strong business position, particularlysince sales over the years have gone up and down with changes inthe economy, and new ventures in the medical tooling field. NEDMACwas started by two Dunwoody alumni and today is a 28-employeemanufacturer of precision machining for the medical, aerospace,electronics, optical, robotic, scientific, food processing and sportinggoods industries.

“Dunwoody was a great background for me,” Jim said. “A day doesn’tpass in manufacturing without me being reminded of my training atDunwoody, the work ethic, the skills I learned and the camaraderie ofmy Dunwoody family of friends.” Jim serves on the Dunwoody AlumniBoard of Managers.

Claire Ferrara, 2nd Year Student, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Design

“There’s a place for women in the HVAC industry today, thoughnot many women are aware of the great opportunitiesavailable,” said Claire Ferrara, 4th quarter HVAC Design student.“I’m glad I had an early introduction to the industry and amable to attend Dunwoody. I grew up in a HVAC family business,and my grandfather was a strong supporter of the trades.”

Claire continued, “I like Dunwoody because it isn’t just theory.It’s hands on. It’s a practical path that will open doors andprovide an opportunity and job to rely on. It’s real-world work.Knowing that when I leave Dunwoody, the school’s network ofsupport will continue to be there for me also gives meconfidence to go out and perform.”

As a leader and volunteer at Dunwoody, Claire is active inStudent Government and the student chapter of HVAC industrytrade association American Society of Heating, Refrigerationand Air Conditioning Engineers. She also volunteers for AchieveMinneapolis and We Can ride, and believes strongly in helpingyoung people understand the benefits that can come from atechnical education background. Before attending Dunwoody,Claire completed a bachelor of arts at St. Catherine University.

Darrell Brommer, 1954 Air ConditioningFormer Owner, Conrad Sheet Metal

The local creamery in Modena, Wisc. encouraged Darrell Brommer to enroll at Dunwoody because they neededsomeone to service their refrigeration equipment. Darrell came to Dunwoody and graduated in 1954 in Air Conditioning, but he never returned to his home town creamery. Instead, he began his career as a sheet metal estimator for H. Conrad Manufacturing in Minneapolis, and later became project manager.

When Darrell was working on a major project in Bloomington, Ill., and the company opened a new office there, he was promoted to branch manager of Conrad Sheet Metal. Over the years he grew the business in Bloomingtonfrom 6 to about 50 sheet metal mechanics and established the company as a premier commercial sheet metalcompany. Darrell said that what energized him most during those years was the joy of pursuing a project andultimately becoming the successful bidder.

He became the sole owner in the early 1980’s and sold it in 2007. Though retired today, he stays involved byserving as liaison on special projects with clients and also as a mentor to the current owner and staff. He’s activenow in racing thoroughbred horses; take a close look at the photo of his Lexus license plate. It reads DB RACN.
