GGiving…a lot of things have me thinking

about this very human and humane act

of giving of one’s self. This issue of the

magazine is going to press just prior to

the Thanksgiving holiday. Right after

that, we begin our preparations for the

Christmas season. I am looking forward

to Julefest, Grand

View’s annual

gift of music to

the community.

Carole and I

recently selected

the student-

designed

Christmas card we

will send to all our

friends. Indeed,

during Advent

we prepare our

hearts and minds

for the message of

Christmas, when

“God so loved the

world that he gave

his only Son, that

whosoever believes

in him will not

perish, but have eternal life.”

When I think about this fall term,

which is nearing its completion, I think

of numerous acts of giving on the part

of the Grand View community, several

of which are covered in this issue of the

magazine.

In early October, we hosted a group

of Danish students from the Vejla Business

School in Vejla, Denmark. They had been

scheduled to visit Dana College, but with

Dana’s closure, we substituted as hosts.

With relatively little advance notice, about

a dozen Grand View families opened

their homes to host these young visitors

from Denmark. The students, who were

used to staying on campus at Dana, were

skeptical at first about their homestays,

but everyone (including the host families)

had a great time. The Danish students

listed their homestays as the highlight of

their trip. And the teachers from Vejla

want to bring students back every year.

Some simple acts of giving hospitality

resulted in ongoing friendships with folks

in Denmark.

Just two weeks later, Grand View

hosted the Southeast Jutland Danish

individuals who give of themselves, who

make significant sacrifices to benefit

others…members of the military. Some

of our brave troops give their very lives

in service to our country. In honor of

their giving, Grand View proudly took the

necessary steps to become a “Military

Friendly School.” This is but a small

token of our thanks for what our military

personnel have given to all of us.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did

not mention those who have given

generously of their financial resources to

support Grand View over the past year.

This is the issue in which we list and

thank our donors for their gifts to us.

This is a season of giving…and giving

thanks. Acts of giving make the world

a better place. I am proud that Grand

View students routinely demonstrate

that they will carry on these traditions of

volunteerism and philanthropy after they

graduate. To all of you, I say

THANK YOU!

Gymnastics Performance Team. Once

again, several families opened their

homes and gave of themselves to show

hospitality and friendship. One of the

guests said Grand View was the best

stop of all her tours with the gymnastics

teams.

Also in October, our campus

community participated in Des Moines’

signature event, the World Food Prize

Week. Our students and employees

donated food and money for an area

food pantry. We had a team of students

walk in the Hunger Hike.

You’ll read in this issue about

Woodrow Wilson Week. Again, our

Grand View community gave their time

and labor to package meals for Meals

from the Heartland and spruced up the

campus during a day of service. I also

could mention the Nursing Student

Association’s blood drive or our business

club’s efforts to raise funds for needy

children in Moldova. Without doubt, the

Grand View community is a very giving

community.

Grand View is pleased to announce

a 5% increase in full-time enrollment

this year, bringing the total number

of students to 2,103, a 3% overall

increase. This is yet another record year

for both full-time and total enrollment,

as well as the second largest freshmen

class in history. The university has

a 6.3% increase in traditional-age

students for this academic year.

Grand View is also an increasingly

residential campus with a record-

breaking number of students living on

campus. All campus housing facilities

are full, with 611 students living on

campus, an 8.5% increase from last

year. To accommodate the growing

demand, construction is underway on

a four-story residence building slated to

open in the fall of 2011.

GrAnd VieW reACHeS out in tHe VirtuAl World


As part of our developmental efforts to

reach prospective students outside Iowa

and the Midwest, Grand View has gone

virtual with CollegeWeekLive.

CollegeWeekLive hosts virtual

college fairs and open houses through

CollegeWeekLive.com, where students

from around the world can log in to

visit virtual booths, sit in on live video

presentations streamed real-time over

the web, and chat with admissions

representatives though instant messaging.

We hosted our first Grand View

virtual open house September 30, inviting

prospective students from as far away

as California and Texas through a series

of email campaigns. The open house

included five virtual booths, each with

a video highlighting an aspect of a

Grand View education and publications

available to download.

Throughout the evening we hosted

five live presentations: professor of

humanities Steve Snyder speaking

on academics; athletic director Troy

Plummer speaking on Viking athletics;

Diane Johnson, director of admissions,

presenting on admissions and financial

aid; Alex Piedras, director of multicultural

and community outreach, speaking

on campus life and diversity; and

Susie Stearns, director of the Career

Center, speaking about internships and

opportunities in Des Moines. Piedras and

Stearns were accompanied by students

and alumni.

The open house was actively

attended by more that 300 prospective

students, some of whom have followed

up with visits to our websites and further

inquiries.

We participated in the

CollegeWeekLive fall college fair

November 3 and 4, along with nearly 200

other colleges and universities. And in

early spring we’ll participate in a transfer

fair and, later, host our second virtual

open house.

Diane Johnson observes, “This is

a new way for students to sort of visit

campus from the comfort of home.

We hope it becomes an effective way

for us to reach out to young people

who might never hear of Grand View

otherwise. We have so much to offer,

especially to students in states with few

private colleges and state schools that are

overwhelmed.”

In general, recruiting is moving more

and more to electronic methods – email

campaigns, our own websites, Facebook,

YouTube, college search websites, and

virtual venues such as CollegeWeekLive.

Grand View has a significant presence in

all those areas. But there will never be a

substitute for being on campus for future

students to discover who we are, so many

of these efforts become the precursors to

personal campus visits, where face-to-face

trumps the virtual every time.

GAMinG GeeK turned ProFeSSor

Assistant professor of english Dr. Josh

Call proudly admits he is a gaming

geek, always has been and probably

always will be. From a young age, Call

enjoyed playing games, whether on

the field, at the kitchen table, or on the

television. His grandfather taught him

poker probabilities and how to think

professionally about chess. His father,

too, taught him some tricks of the card

trade, as he is a very bright man with

numbers.

However, Call has taken the notion

beyond what typically comes to mind

when one thinks of gaming.

“Games tell stories; they craft

fictional stories around what is going

on in reality,” Call explained. “even if

the story is something the players make

up – like Monopoly. I used to play with

my parents and the story was how my

mom and I would team up to beat my

dad, otherwise we’d never win. It was a

family story.”

Call is involved with the National

Popular Culture Association and is one of

three co-chairs running the game studies

project in this area. The association is

designed to create an engaging and

open space for multidisciplinary work.

Call and his colleagues put together

the idea for a collection, which would

center on the idea of a genre-based

multidisciplinary approach to games.

Continuum Press offered them a

contract for a book series focusing on

game studies, officially titled Approaches

to Game Studies, with the first volume

titled Dungeons, Dragons and Digital

Denizens: The Digital Role-Playing Game.

As a professor, Call is trying to bring

his love of gaming into the classroom.

“Teaching works if it’s playful. Play

is an extremely social and significant

act for people, whether we’re talking

about family board game nights or social

games that children make up.”

He refers to the popular Calvin

and Hobbs comic and discusses a game

called Calvin Ball, which is a game Calvin

created where they make up the rules as

they go. The purpose is social identity

and how we learn rules. Call’s research

is tied to how we use play to teach

– how to make play a part of what it

means to learn in a classroom.

In his writing classes, Call uses

play as a means to discuss writing and

revision. Writing for most people means

strict rules and that it must be done a

certain way. He challenges his classes

to think and create a landscape of ideas

of how to play with language; then they

choose from those ideas to see what

works.

idea might play out, and how readers

might respond to it. It’s like playing a

game between you and your audience,

negotiating the terms and the rules,”

Call said.

His goal is to have a class where

the entire premise for the course is

one big game – and he is trying it out

this semester. He divided his technical

writing class into project teams, with

each team working for two campus

clients. Call explained that one way

to teach a class would be to provide

formats and have students master and

repeat the format. That seemed a little

dry to him as he is a firm believer that

you shouldn’t teach a class you wouldn’t

want to take. So, he turned the class

into a contest and weaved in his concept

of play. Students invite the clients

to class and solicit their work, create

questions to learn the parameters for

needed documents, create a timetable

and an outline of the project, including

who is doing what, how and when it

needs to be done.

“It’s like winding up a top and

letting it go!” Call said.

Thus far he has received a positive

student response to the notion of play

in the classroom. There was some

tension, because students are not used

to “playing” in classes such as his;

education doesn’t generally allow for

that kind of experience in an age of

standardized testing.

“As a professor, I have to be willing

to let go of some of the classroom

control in order for play to work, which

has been the most challenging – trying

to determine when to step in and when

to step back,” Call said. “Conducting a

class in this manner is actually harder for

students because it’s more work than if

I just gave them a form to follow. They

have to think and learn to juggle the

load and produce for the client. But I’ve

found that GV students are willing to try

things, and it’s been very rewarding.”

Military Friendly Schools, a college,

university or trade school must fall into

the top 15 percent of organizations

nationwide to serve military members as

students. Schools on the list range from

large state universities to private colleges

and community colleges to trade schools.

The common thread is their

shared priority

in recruiting

students

with military

experience.

G.I. Jobs,

an organization

dedicated

to post-military

success, scoured the nation’s

7,000 colleges, universities and trade

schools for those that offered top-notch

education, the best value, and were most

welcoming of military students. The

result was a list of approximately 1,000

schools, and Grand View was among

them.

Grand View offers accelerated

classes at our Johnston campus located

on-site at the Iowa National Guard

Camp Dodge and also provides a tuition

discount for evening and weekend

classes for active military personnel. The

university has friendly transfer policies

that accept military credit, including

the Organizational Studies major,

which incorporates military credit as

part of the program of study. Military

students also take advantage of academic

services such as adult learner services,

academic advising and the academic

enrichment center that provides tutoring,

math lab, writing

center, test-

taking and

learning skills,

as well as time

management

programs.

As a

participant in the

Yellow Ribbon

education enhancement

Program, designed to help students

finance up to 100 percent of their out-of-

pocket tuition and fees associated with

education programs that may exceed the

Post 9/11 GI Bill tuition benefit, Grand

View proudly admits military students

and assists them with their educational

financial responsibilities. If a military

student is deployed for more than 30

days, he or she has the option to re-enroll

providing the student has not been

absent more than five years or been

discharged from the Armed Forces for

dishonorable conduct.

A soldier’s perspective.CPT Randall Stanford, 2006 Grand View

alumnus, husband, father and father-to-

be this spring, is currently mobilized as

part of the largest deployment in Iowa

history since WWII. Although this isn’t his

first deployment, this time around will be

harder leaving his 13-month-old daughter

and pregnant wife at home.

Stanford is from a small eastern Iowa

town, Quasqueton, where he attended

east Buchanan High School. He and

his family now reside in Clive. His wife,

Julie, is expecting twins in March, and

their daughter, Leighton, just turned one.

Stanford will miss the birth of his twins.

“Leighton is too young to realize

what is going on,” Stanford said. “I

call as often as I can and Skype when

possible. I got a life-size cardboard daddy

so she can see me every day. This being

my third deployment, Julie is getting used

to it, but this is my first after having a

child, so it’s much tougher on me than

previous deployments. I defend our

country, but I feel like my wife pays twice

the price; military spouses are strong

people.”

After two years of college, with less

than stellar grades, Stanford wasn’t sure

what he wanted to do professionally, so

he joined the Army in 1998. He spent

two years in Germany and was deployed

soldier &studentby lacie sibley ’07, editor

to be on the list of

2010

to Kosovo in 1999; at that time he was

a sniper. He spent the next two years

in Fort Hood, Texas, and after his four-

year commitment was up he decided he

wanted to finish school. His high school

sweetheart, now his wife, lived in

Des Moines; so he left active duty,

moved to Des Moines and joined the

National Guard in order to attend college.

Stanford’s military position is S3

(Operations) Plans. He does a variety

of things but as his title states, he

plans. With more than 400 soldiers

in his squadron, he plans training and

operations, as well as movements such as

flights and bus rides.

After being mobilized in August,

Stanford and his squadron were sent to

the National Training Center in California,

which provided them with the most

realistic training they could receive. The

Center is in a desert with mountains, a

good representation of what they would

encounter overseas.

Stanford said

mentally he is in

good shape and

prepared for his

mission. He worries

more about the

younger soldiers.

As a Ranger, he has

the training and

experience needed for situations that may

await him. After his first deployment to

Kosovo, he was sent there again in 2003

and noted the difference a few years

had made. The countryside is similar to

Iowa farm ground, but the people live in

poverty. Regardless, they invite soldiers

into their homes for tea and share any

food they have.

“They really appreciated that we were

there,” Stanford said. “I could really tell a

difference in the economy and the people

in just a four-year time span.”

Stanford went to Iraq in 2007 and

spent much of his time in Baghdad. He

said most people were glad the Americans

were there as things had improved

tremendously since 2005 when the heavy

fighting broke out.

“I know what soldiers did there made

a difference for those people. Being that

far from home in places like that makes

you appreciate what you have in the U.S.”

Reflecting on his education at Grand

View, Stanford said GV helped improve

his ability to multitask. Working while

attending school and being a member of

the National Guard, he had to learn to

prioritize his time. He likens the Army to

a business; he must be able to manage

money and people effectively in order to

accomplish his mission.

“Thinking back on my first class at

GV with Patricia Rinke – she was a tough

teacher, very smart, the kind of teacher

you don’t like because you really have

to work, but the kind of teacher you like

because you know you’re getting a lot

from that class,” Stanford said.

Participating in group projects and

learning to work with people who have

different abilities has proven very useful in

his military career. Deciphering what each

soldier is good at and how that person can

best help the team enables Stanford to do

his job efficiently.

Stanford chose GV for our great

reputation and relationship with the

National Guard. The night and weekend

classes were convenient and affordable,

and he had a great experience as a

student. He adds that the staff and faculty

always understood if military training or

others duties came up and welcomed

him back to class when the mission was

complete.

An Army wife perspective. Captain Stanford’s wife, Julie, faces

nine months of raising a child on her own,

giving birth to twins, and anticipating the

return of her husband. Although this is

not her first experience with deployment, it

is her first after having their daughter.

“With his previous deployments it

was just me and those times allowed me

to focus on my career goals,” Julie said.

“This time around is completely different

due to the addition of our daughter. Life

is demanding caring for her by myself, so

work has taken a backseat to my role as a

mother.”

It is easier now to mentally prepare

for her husband’s deployment since she’s

done it several times. She takes it one day

at a time and works to maintain a positive

attitude. Staying busy to avoid stray

thoughts is not so hard with a 13-month

old to chase, but Julie does worry about

her husband’s safety given the state of

affairs in Afghanistan and what she sees

on the news. However, she is comforted

knowing he has the proper training for the

situation, which helps put her at ease.

Julie does her best to reassure

Stanford that she and their family are fine

and everything is under control. Her main

worry is his safety as she doesn’t want him

distracted worrying about things at home.

“I try not to dwell on my worries as

that is not going to help get me through

this. I know Randy would be here if he

could be and that everything will have a

way of working out,“

Julie said. “We tell

him how much we

love him and miss

him and can’t wait

for him to come

home.”

Julie said her

husband is a great

leader to his soldiers

and takes his role as

Captain very seriously,

and has earned great

respect by doing so.

His military service

has a strong influence in his family life but

through his role as a father and husband,

he is learning patience, which helps him be

a better soldier. Most people perceive her

husband as tough ‘Mr. Army’ but in reality

he puts others ahead of himself, trying to

help out even when on the other side of

the world.

A current student-soldier perspective. Current student Heidi Breitsprecker ’11

has several roles to juggle in her life. Not

only is she an adult student at GV, she

is also a wife, a mother of three, and a

soldier. She has been a member of the Air

National Guard for almost 24 years and is

the Base Knowledge Operations Manager

for the 132nd Fighter Wing in Des Moines.

Breitsprecker decided GV was the

best fit for her because of the night

and weekend accelerated classes, and

numerous co-workers recommended she

look into the program.

“My advisor, Kelly [Friesleben],

has been very easy to work with and

quite knowledgeable about how to get

everything I needed ready for my classes,”

Breitsprecker said. “I like the night

and Saturday classes and I’ve not been

disappointed yet.”

Managing being a mom, a wife, a

soldier and a student has been challenging.

Breitsprecker travels often with the military,

sometimes in the middle of a term, but

her instructors have been understanding

and work with her military commitments.

Several professors allow her to turn in

assignments early and make up tests.

Breitsprecker has been deployed twice

since being a student at Grand View,

and both times she was able to pick up

with her classes as soon as she returned.

During her last deployment, she had a final

paper due before she returned, but she

was able to communicate via email with

her instructor, who helped her finish the

project.

Alumnus tAkes pArt in history Kim Ransaw ’83

helped make GV

basketball history –

nailing records as the

leading scorer, best

free-throw percentage,

most steals and best

three-point percentage.

He was one of the first

four-year graduates

after GV adopted its

baccalaureate program

and was inducted into

the Athletic Hall of

Fame in 2004.

Years later Ransaw

is still making history,

now as Sergeant Major

Gregory K. Ransaw, Finance Sergeant Major in the United States Army.

He is currently serving in Baghdad, Iraq, as the resource management sergeant

major. The end of August brought with it the close of Operation Iraqi Freedom,

ending the U.S. forces combat mission in the region. Operation New Dawn

commenced September 1, which opened the door for a shift from combat to

stability operations. As the transition takes place, U.S. forces will continue to train,

advise and assist the Iraqi security forces.

An Alabama native, a standout on the hardwood, a soldier serving his

country…this GV grad is making Grand View proud to be his alma mater.

With her first priority being her family,

leaving them for her military responsibilities

is difficult. Breitsprecker is lucky in the

fact that her husband is very supportive,

as he too is full-time military – also a GV

student – and knows the anxiety she feels

when preparing for deployment. The first

time the couple was activated, it was to

different locations but at the same time.

“It took a lot of planning and a lot of

trust…trust in your family who will care

for your kids when you are both gone,”

Breitsprecker said. “However, I’m glad we

deployed when the children were young

enough to think it was cool but not so old

that we missed any major milestones. It’s

hard to leave them, but you’ve got a job to

do and you do it.”

Breitsprecker spent one four-

month deployment in the United Arab

emirates and a second four-month stint

in Kyrgyzstan. She said she would deploy

again if duty calls. She understands that

what U.S. soldiers are doing overseas is

for the better and will change lives in the

future. Breitsprecker’s ten-year old son

hopes to follow in his parents’ footsteps

but waivers about either being a soldier

like his dad or a Navy Seal.

“I hope all my children grow up and

join the military,” Breitsprecker said. “Not

only is it one way to serve your country but

the benefits are phenomenal.”

Continuing her education was

a matter of having a well-rounded

educational experience after she retires

from the military. Although she has

been the benefactor of many military

advantages, she felt it important to balance

it out.

“The military has given me numerous

opportunities that most civilian jobs

can’t equal; I just felt it was important to

balance that with a civilian degree, which is

probably the first thing a civilian employer

will look for.”

Breitsprecker credits GV and the

accelerated classes as the sole reason she

is currently in school. Waiting until she is

retired from the military to attend college

wasn’t an option. She has been able

to finish her Air Force degree and work

toward a civilian degree simultaneously,

which has made many of her goals

attainable.

supporting the pursuit of educAtion. Most prospective military students are

concerned about cost and the ability to use

their education benefits. Kelly Friesleben,

director for the College for Professional

Adult Learning (CPAL) at the Johnston

campus, said in the CPAL program she

discusses the military discount and how

military benefits apply toward tuition. She

makes connections between the student

and Grand View person who will be

working with them to receive their benefits.

“Military students want to know

how their credits will transfer and what

the best degree program is for them,”

Friesleben said. “I fill them in about our

Organizational Studies program as an

option that will help them maximize their

military transfer credit.”

Currently, Grand View has 90 military

veterans or dependents of military

veterans enrolled this fall. In addition,

approximately eight Grand View students

are currently deployed. Friesleben said she

has noticed an increase in military students

in the CPAL program in the last two and

a half years since she has been director at

the Johnston campus.

“We have specific policies in place

for military members to withdraw due

to deployment and returning post-

deployment,” Friesleben said. “Our goal

is to help remove barriers for students

who wish to re-enroll after returning from

deployment.”

Grand View recently announced a

new military spouse benefit. Under this

new program, spouses who wish to enroll

in the CPAL program are eligible to receive

the same tuition discount active military

members receive.

According to Grand View’s mission,

the university seeks to engage, equip, and

empower students to fulfill their individual

potential and serve society. Grand View

is committed to the development of the

whole person – mind, body and spirit –

and to preparing students for successful

careers and responsible citizenship both

in their communities and in a diverse and

changing world.

We strive to provide that unique

GV experience that alumni are so proud

of to all students, military and civilians.

Working to make the admissions process

easy and creating a campus community

full of support puts students at ease and

able to enjoy their time with their Grand

View family. As graduates embark on their

lives outside GV, whether in an office, in a

hospital, or serving our country, we hope

they look back on GV with fondness and

pride…as we look upon them with the

same endearment.

Visiting Fellow WeekOctober 18–22

“Interest does not tie nations together; it

sometimes separates them. But sympathy and

understanding does unite them.”

– woodrow wilson

2010

Through an intensive program of classes, seminars,

workshops, lectures, and informal discussions,

the Fellows create better understanding and new

connections between the academic and non-

academic worlds. (http://www.cic.edu/projects_

services/visitingfellows.asp)

Grand View invited its first Woodrow Wilson

Visiting Fellow, Maria Karagianis, to campus October

18-22.

Karagianis, an award-winning writer, journalist

and social entrepreneur, worked for the Boston

Globe for 13 years as part of a team covering school

desegregation, for which the newspaper won a

Pulitzer Prize. She also traveled to South Africa

during apartheid and reported for Rand Daily Mail.

Afterward she attended Harvard Divinity School

and earned a master’s degree in world religions.

Karagianis is the founding executive director of

Discovering Justice, a non-profit civil educational

organization recognized nationally for its mission of

educating for democracy by teaching about justice.

She is currently writing a book about values and how

to create a meaningful life, and is the director of US

Operations for Anatolia, a school started by Boston

educators and missionaries in the Ottoman empire

in the 19th Century and is now among the finest

private educational institutions in Greece.

While on campus, Karagianis met and spoke

with classes, presented at a faculty colloquium on

her research, and addressed students on the topics

of character and leadership. During chapel service

October 19, she spoke on discovering justice and

ecology. An all-campus address was presented

the following day where Karagianis discussed her

life, her successes, what she has come to learn

throughout her life experiences on how to create a

meaningful life. The campus community was invited

to a picnic over the noon hour, and in the afternoon

volunteers participated in service projects.

Nearly 250 volunteers packaged 40,662 meals

for Meals From the Heartland, far surpassing the

original goal of 25,000. Many of those meals stayed

in the Des Moines area, and some were shipped

to New Mexico. Over 165 volunteers worked on

campus beautification projects, picking up trash,

weeding garden beds and around buildings, and

spreading nearly two semi-loads of mulch.

Fellowship Week was a huge success in many

ways. The visiting speaker posed several thought-

provoking ideas and left many thinking about their

own paths and how they live a meaningful life. But

probably the most important aspect to come out

of the week was the sense of campus community,

camaraderie and pride. Students, faculty and staff

worked side-by-side filling food boxes, cleaning up

the campus grounds and listening to Karagianis

speak about leading a meaningful life. The week

sought to embody and exemplify the Viking eDGe

(engaging in community, discerning life purpose,

growing in leadership, educating with integrity) by

raising vital life questions and engaging in communal

experiences. The week ended with a resounding

boost in Grand View pride and campus fellowship.

or more than 35 years, the Woodrow Wilson

Visiting Fellows program has brought prominent

artists, diplomats, journalists, business leaders,

and other nonacademic professionals to

campuses across the United States for weeklong

residencies of teaching and dialogue with

students and faculty members.

Grand View welcomed several Danish visitors to campus

in October.

Twenty-six students and two faculty members from

the Vejle Business College in Denmark were on campus

September 30 through October 6. The purpose of their

trip was to learn about other cultures and school systems.

During their visit they stayed with faculty and staff host

families who helped introduce them to American culture.

While on campus, the students attended classes,

including history, communication, psychology and art

courses. They experienced campus dining in the Knudsen

Dining Hall and toured local businesses, such as the

Meredith test garden, Principal Financial and the Pappajohn

Sculpture Garden. As GV guests, they attended a football

game and went to open mic night in Bud’s Place.

A reception was held in the Danish students’ honor and

afterward they spoke about Denmark, commenting on its

population, economy and cultural differences, among other

topics.

Jutland Gymnastics Performance Teams visited campus

October 16 – 19, highlighted by a performance at Sisam

encore performance the following day for area elementary

schools.

The team, consisting of 38 men and women ages 19 to

athletes from the southeastern and southwestern parts of

Denmark. This team was very excited for the opportunity to

visit the United States and share the Danish perspective on

gymnastics. The team also spent a day visiting sites in the

Des Moines area.

Grand View is being represented in Denmark with our

Homecoming festivities began Friday, September 24, with

the Alumni College, featuring Joy Ibsen ’60, writer, editor,

musician, and piano teacher. The session celebrated the legacy

of the Happy Danes through story and song. The principles of

N.F.S. Grundtvig were interspersed and illustrated by the singing

of familiar songs of the Happy Danes. Assistant Professor of

Communication Mark Siebert presented the second alumni

college session focusing on the changes in newspapers and other

new media since the arrival of the Internet.

The Class of 1960 enjoyed their 50-year reunion and the GV

Choir led a Songfest Friday afternoon.

Saturday started out with the annual Viking 5K with

approximately 236 runners/walkers participating in the race,

followed by the Kid Trot. The alumni women’s soccer game

took place later that morning, and campus visitors were also

invited to peruse Dennis Kaven’s Retrospect art exhibit. Although

the day was a bit soggy with the rain, the leisure garden had

several activities including the Viking Ride car show, Aebleskive

experience, face painting and Kids Radio Mania, and the student

float contest. Alumni and guests were treated to a homecoming

picnic lunch and then cheered on the Vikings football team as

they defeated Waldorf College in a 70-0 victory.

The Varsity women’s soccer team collected a double-

overtime win when they took on William Penn, and the Viking

men’s soccer team continued their winning streak against the

Statesmen that evening.

Living in the United States is a luxury

many of us don’t think of as such. With

elections recently past, we are reminded

of what it means to be a United States

citizen, and we relish in the fact that

we got to play a part in our futures by

choosing our leaders. We don’t always

pay attention to the living conditions,

governments or school systems in other

parts of world as we get wrapped up

in our own busy lives. But for sisters

Khek ’98 and Kong ’98 Chanhsyma,

living in the U.S. has meant a better life.

Originally from Vientiane, Laos, the

sisters and their parents, sponsored by

relatives in the U.S., left the only home

they knew to better themselves.

“Our parents wanted us to have

opportunities that were not available

in our country,” Khek explained. “Our

cousin’s family sponsored us.“

To further their education, Khek

and Kong chose Grand View. It was

close to their new home, and the smaller

campus community made them feel

more comfortable than some of the large

universities.

The family arrived in the U.S. in

1983 and recently decided it was time

to make it official. They had put off

obtaining their citizenship mainly due to

the extensive ten-page application form

they had to fill out and the fee. After the

form was completed, there was a one-

month waiting period. Then they were

interviewed, waited another three weeks,

and took a three-part civics test. Upon

passing they participated in a swearing-in

ceremony at Camp Dodge.

“The most challenging part was

learning to assimilate by learning english

and, of course, paying taxes,” Kong said.

“The most rewarding part about being

a citizen now is that we have freedom…

freedom of religion, freedom of speech,

freedom to travel.”

Khek agrees and enjoys her right

to travel freely. She also adds that she’s

happy to have the right to vote, and

being a citizen has made renewing her

driver’s license easier.

“I felt the most challenging part was

learning to read and write english,” Khek

said. “Knowing we now have

the freedom to do so many

things is a great feeling.”

Since graduating from

Grand View, both of them

with degrees in business

administration and minors

in marketing, Kong

works at Wells

Fargo Home

Mortgage

and Khek is

employed at

Wells Fargo

Bank. The

sisters

both enjoy

volunteering

and do so

often. When

they emigrated

to the U.S.,

they needed

help learning the

language, the

culture and finding

their place in it.

Paying it forward,

they find it rewarding

to help others and

not expect anything in

return.

thank you. Over the past decade, there have been countless reasons for me to thank you and the other donors listed on

these pages. The most tangible reason is the transformation of the campus landscape made possible with private support. It’s a long list

that includes the Johnson Wellness Center, the Luhrs Athletic Fields, elings Hall, Jensen Hall and the Rasmussen Center – over $15 million

in building and improvements.

Some of your support has been more intangible. Gifts to the annual fund and the endowment have helped keep the cost of tuition

affordable and provide support for programs, as well as fund thousands of dollars in scholarships for deserving students.

While Grand View has made significant progress in many areas, we are challenged and energized at what lies ahead. Construction

continues on additional housing that will enable 230 more students to live on campus. Plans are taking shape to improve and expand

our Student Center and beautify campus with a pedestrian mall. Thank you once again for your confidence and support in what has

been accomplished. I look forward to working with you to advance Grand View to an even higher level.

KeelIA PAulSen ’07 graduated from Grand View with a degree

in graphic design. Taking painting

classes with art and design professor

Dennis Kaven, piqued Paulsen’s

interest in painting. While attending

Grand View she worked for Sticks

and was mentored by another

GV graduate, Ariel Minervini ’08,

who taught her more about the art.

Currently, Paulsen is a graphic designer

in Des Moines and does freelance design

and commissioned

paintings.

She and

her two-

year old

daughter,

Henrietta, reside

in downtown

Des Moines.

Paulsen started her shoe painting

business, Khenri, named for her daughter, as a practicality.

Instead of shoe shopping, she painted her old heels and created

“new” shoes. She said she prefers to wear black with minimal

accessories and wants her shoes to be the piece that stands out.

The premise of her company is made-to-order, custom-designed

shoes. All the shoes

are one-of-a-kinds

and can be recreated

but will never be

done exactly the same.

Paulsen’s clients usually give

her a color palette, and she

creates a design to suit their needs;

many also provide her with their old

heels.

The company has evolved

to combine a

mixture of

painting and

adornments.

She uses a metal

worker and a cobbler to

accomplish some of the more

outstanding pieces and has branched

out into handbags, t-shirts, vintage jewelry

and vintage menswear.

a new website. We’re very

pleased with the design,

functionality and organization.
