Living the Vision

 from the president
Vision.
A friend defines vision as “a point on the horizon toward which
an organization strives”; “a not too precise definition of the
future”; and “a hoped for future that is never quite achieved.”
These are exciting, dynamic and challenging times in higher
education. Economic upheaval, demographic changes,
technological advancements and governmental intervention
are but a few of the significant factors that impact and influence
how we define and articulate our vision.
Preparing students in and for the 21st century calls us to think,
plan and act differently today than we did yesterday.
For Concordia to thrive in the future we realize we must
• Grow and expand our influence;
• Serve new populations of students;
• Collaborate with others;
• Adapt to an always changing environment; and
• Remain faithful to our mission.
This issue of the Broadcaster demonstrates how Concordia is
living its vision as a Lutheran Christian University. These stories
give inspiring examples of students and alumni who are living
proof of the impact of our vision.
Vision.
I am excited about our vision for 2015. But I also realize vision
changes. Thus, what most inspires me and is most important
to me is our mission: Concordia University, Nebraska is an
excellent academic and Christ-centered community equipping
men and women for lives of learning, service and leadership in the
church and world. Without mission, there is no vision! Through
vision, mission is fulfilled.
May God continue to bless Concordia and all who teach, serve
and learn in this place. May God continue to bless all those sent
forth from here as they live lives of faithful witness and service
to Him and to others in the church and throughout the world.

Living the vision
Concordia takes steps now to achieve its vision for 2015
expand
By 2015 Concordia University, Nebraska will grow and expand
its influence to diverse populations by fostering collaboration
and adapting to our changing environment while remaining
faithful to our mission of excellent Christian education.
Preparing students to live lives of service always has been
foundational at Concordia. In its 116 years the university
has adapted to meet the challenge of an ever-changing
educational environment in a world with ever-changing
needs. “We need to revive and rejuvenate our existing
programs and create new programs to meet the needs
of today’s students,” explains University Provost Dr. Jenny
.
Mueller-Roebke.
4 feature
Guiding Concordia’s efforts to “revive and rejuvenate” is its
vision statement. As Concordia looks to prepare the newest
generation of learners to serve and lead in a 21st century
world, it is taking steps—from installing new computer labs
to overhauling curriculum—to enact that vision.
.
...
Technology
When students arrived on the campus this fall, they took
advantage of several technology upgrades, some obvious
and some that, well, it would help to have an electrical
engineering degree to detect. All of them, however, were
aimed at helping students.
“Our technology goals were to provide better services
for our students,” explains Kevin Potratz, computing services
system analyst and infrastructure support coordinator. “We
are student-centered.”
t i o n
a b ora
coll
Two-hundred and seven new computers were installed
in 12 student computer labs on the Seward and Fallbrook
campuses. Macintosh computers in the art and music
labs provide students the ability to use new and emerging
software in their courses. Labs in Thom Educational
Leadership Center feature new virtual computers and new
furniture. The labs were reconfigured so they could be
used as teaching labs for entire classes as well as individual
student work areas. The Janzow Campus Center now has new
computers, free printing and, because so many students tote
around their laptop computers, counter areas specifically
designed to make it easier for them to use their own gear.
The new virtual computers on campus appear to be normal
computer stations, but each features only a keyboard,
mouse and screen. The processor (which used to be kept in
a case near each station) is now part of Concordia’s internal
computing cloud. This type of system saves money through
lower equipment costs and less time spent managing the
system. Updates can be completed from one server rather
than at each individual unit.
“This is the trend of computing today, and we are on the
front-edge of this technology,” said Potratz.
...
Online offerings
Upgrades in technology also will allow Concordia
to develop more online courses. Currently, students can
earn certificates in gerontology, worship arts and English
language learners online.

diverse
grow
“There is an entire population of students we can reach
through online delivery,” explains Roebke.
In addition, online modes benefit present students by
allowing more flexibility in course content and in scheduling.
Online courses also create a unique community of learners.
Because of their accessibility, these courses appeal to
working individuals who are interested in earning a degree
and to those who may be interested in taking just one class.
These new types of learners join with traditional students
in a unique environment.
“There are benefits of offering a course which includes the
different groups,” says Roebke. “The younger students see
the wisdom that comes with the experience of the older
students, and the older students have a renewed faith in the
future through their interaction with our young people.”
Roebke also sees the possibility of serving the church body
by providing online workshops to congregations about
issues important to parents, couples and the elderly. “We
have the knowledge base here to share information in so
many areas that would be beneficial to others. We just need
to keep working on how to make that happen.”
...
General education requirements
Overhauling general education curriculum at a university is
a difficult and time-consuming process. Now after two years,
changes to Concordia’s general education requirements have
been implemented. The revisions were guided by research
regarding the unique needs of today’s learners.
mission
adapt
The full faculty was charged with ownership over the
process of general education revision, including the
definition and explication of learning outcomes. Workshops
were held for professional development in the new
curricular emphasis areas: writing intensive, service learning,
global/multi-cultural awareness, financial literacy, oral
communication/presentation skills, information literacy
and capstone experiences.
“We really studied the research about what students
need in the 21st century, especially from employers, and
we revised accordingly, ” explained Roebke.
Assessment of the new curriculum is ongoing.
...
Graduate programs
The graduate programs at Concordia have greatly expanded
in recent years—300 new students were added in the last
year alone. Roebke sees this area as continuing to grow and
expand.
Master’s degree programs in public health and in human
services were recently approved by the Board of Regents.
Church Workers ...
Roebke hopes to see expansion in programs preparing
students for church work.
“We need to expand our view of those we serve today while
remaining true to our Lutheran Christian roots.”
 Options Roebke sees that will help us reach toward the
vision of influencing diverse populations include awarding a
Christian teacher diploma in addition to a Lutheran teacher
diploma and preparing students for Christian youth ministry
and service to Christian non-Lutheran congregations.
...
Worship arts
Concordia demonstrates its commitment to remain faithful
to excellent Christian education not only by teaching
students but also by serving churches directly.
The Center for Liturgical Arts continues to expand and
reach congregations across the country. Artists at the
Center serve as project consultants to congregations,
creating beautiful objects that display God’s work among
us and bring Him glory through visual expression in a variety
of media.
Concordia’s Worship Arts curriculum is being adapted
to include the multi-faceted needs of today’s church and
the interests of today’s students. New styles of course
offerings, including online delivery, will allow traditional
students and those currently serving congregations to take
advantage of the resources offered.
...
New Opportunities for Collaboration
.
Now, more than ever, Concordia is collaborating with other
6 feature
institutions to better serve the needs of today’s students.
Just over a year ago, Concordia University, Nebraska
partnered with Concordia University Wisconsin to offer
a flexible Master of Business Administration degree.
Enrollment in the program continues to increase. With
.
that demonstrated success, Roebke sees other possibilities
for collaboration.
In the science area, she points to the current articulation
agreement Concordia has with Valparaiso University’s
nursing program and to further collaboration with
Concordia Wisconsin in the field of pharmacy. “We have
the capacity now to give our students the foundational
education they need in health areas. Collaborations would
allow them to move to the next level.”
With respect to education programs, Concordia is making
strides to reach more diverse populations than ever before.
“The teacher shortage will happen, and we can meet that
urgent need,” said Roebke.
The paraprofessional to teacher program Concordia
currently has in place with Omaha Public Schools (ops)
is a model Roebke cites for future programs. Through
the collaboration with ops, Concordia professors travel
to Omaha to teach classes that will enable ops teaching
assistants to earn their bachelor’s degree in education.
Dual credit program ...
Providing college courses to high school students is another
area that continues to expand. The dual credit program
offers high school students the opportunity to take
Concordia classes at a reduced tuition rate without having
to leave their high school campus.
The program also lets students get an early start on college
studies and provides them with an enhanced educational
experience during their time in high school.
Dr. Bernard Tonjes, Concordia liaison for the dual credit
program, who describes himself “a bit of a zealot” for the
program, has helped increase the types of courses offered.
Classes in most of the major areas of the general education
curriculum are now being offered.
Dual credit courses are typically taught by instructors
already teaching in participating high schools. Dual credit
instructors must meet graduate education requirements and
follow Concordia’s syllabus for the class. They also work with
a full-time Concordia professor who has experience teaching
the course.
Infrastructure ...
With phase two of the Health, Human Performance and
Athletic Center completed, repurposing of the old Physical
Education building is ongoing. Roebke also points to the
Link Library and Science Hall as areas she believes could
be updated to meet emerging student needs.
...
The vision statement has set a clear goal for Concordia.
It’s no small challenge, but by adapting to the changing and
competitive academic environment, Concordia will fulfill its
vision as it continues to equip men and women for lives
of learning, service and leadership in the church and world.

 Making art to serve the church

Anyone who could see

and appreciate beauty
could be an artist.
.

Word of Life, Lincoln, Neb.

As Concordia’s Center for Liturgical
Art (cla) enters its seventh year of
operation, it continues to work with
architects, liturgical consultants and
master artisans in the design
of worship space and the creation
of ecclesiastical art. It also remains true
to its mission to promote the use
of visual art in worship, encourage
artists to assist church ministry
and provide educational outreach
programs in the visual arts.
Many years before its founding,
the cla was the dream of professor
emeritus Reinhold Marxhausen and
several others. Marxhausen, who
came to teach at Concordia 60 years
ago, believed in the possibility of
finding beauty in everyday objects. He
believed anyone who could see and
appreciate beauty could be an artist.
Today, the cla continues to find
motivation in Marxhausen’s approach
to art. Marxhausen frequently worked
with his colleagues on joint artistic
endeavors. Today, almost all cla
projects are completed by a team
of artists and consultants with different
backgrounds, varying aesthetic
approaches and diverse talents.
Through Concordia’s ecclesiastical
art major, students also take part in
internships offering real-life experience
designing and fabricating art as
well as communicating with clients.
Todd Meier, a junior art major from
Gladstone, Mo., recently completed
his internship by designing a mural for
Trinity Lutheran Church in Davenport,
Iowa. Meier traveled to Davenport and
painted the mural on-site with the help
of over 100 congregation members.
“The reception at Trinity was
surprising. I did not expect the kids
to be so excited to be involved with
the project, but they were,” said
Meier. “Some kids came after school
to help or brought their parents in.
One member, who helped most of
Saturday, told me that helping with
the mural was exactly what he needed.
It was a good experience for everyone.”
Marxhausen believed that anyone Lutheran and other students coming
could have an artist’s eye, so the out of this school trained in liturgical
cla strives to educate pastors and art? We could really start a fire visually
...
congregations on the basic components in the Church.”
of strong design. These congregations
then have the tools to maintain a space
that visually encourages praiseful and
purposeful worship.
Recently, the cla has been working
with congregations that are
seeking visual changes for church
buildings done in the 1950s. Mark
Anschutz, managing artist for the
cla, teams with emeritus professor
William Wolfram to create fresh,
contemporary art for these older
churches. Both Anschutz and Wolfram
utilize modern aesthetics, but
frequently work with congregations
ranging from conservative taste
to progressive style. “Groups of people
can be worlds apart visually in the
church,” explains Anschutz. Part of the
cla’s goal is to bring these divergent
views together.
The cla’s influence stretches far St. John’s Lutheran Church, Bakersfield, Calif.
beyond Lutheran congregations. Brock
and Esther Shaw, partners of the cla,
spent several months in Panama with
the native Kuna Indians. With the
Shaw’s help, the Kuna women created
over 20,000 bibelots, small, beautiful
objects that are used as a conversation
starter for Christian witnessing. As
these conversations occur, the holder
of the bibelot is encouraged to give
it away as a reminder of God’s love.
Consequently, bibelots move all over
the world as they are passed from
hand to hand. The cla also sent
four students to Panama in January
to work with the Shaws repainting
a local Kuna church. The students
learned about traditional images
and styles of Panamanian Christians
and incorporated these into the
renovations of the church.
Anschutz is excited about the cla’s
future. “I’m hoping we reach out and
share our ecclesiastical art major with
other Concordias and other Christian
schools. Wouldn’t it be great if
we had Methodist, Presbyterian,
Cross of Christ Lutheran Church, Aurora, Neb.

At work

in
“Expanding influence to diverse populations” isn’t just idle talk—
Allan and Sandy Schmidt are living it out through their service, now in Vietnam.
Since the founding of the first Lutheran Church—Missouri
Synod (lcms) school in China thirty-three years ago,
Christian outreach in Asia has grown greatly through the
establishment of two additional lcms schools and the
creation of the Asian Lutheran Education Association, a
network of over 200 schools across 13 countries.
.
Presently, the lcms is working to open its third
10 feature
international school in Hanoi, Vietnam. More impressively,
this school will be the first Lutheran and Christian school
in Vietnam.
Among those who have labored to advance Lutheran
education in Asia are two Concordia University, Nebraska
Lifetime Service Award winners: Dr. Allan Schmidt, former
.
Concordia secondary education director, and his wife
Sandra, a 1995 graduate.
Over the past 15 years, the Schmidts have been hard at
work. Schmidt, lcms Asia School Developer, describes the
challenge of founding schools in some regions of Asia, “You
can’t just go into a country like China or Vietnam and start
a school.” Both communist states have strict regulations and
arduous approval processes for the establishment of schools.
But over the years, the rewards have proven the tough
approval process worthwhile. Hong Kong International
School (hkis), the first of the three schools, was opened in
1967 in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong, China to serve the children

of expatriates in China on prolonged international business.
Despite its humble beginnings in a temporary building, the
school has grown to a student population of close to 2,700
and has earned international recognition for its excellence.
“It is arguably one of the best international schools in Asia,”
said Schmidt.
Looking to expand Christian education to mainland
China in the 1990s, lcms World Mission, the hkis board
of directors and a group of international business people
started work to establish Concordia International School
in Shanghai (ciss).
In 1996, while on sabbatical from Concordia University,
Nebraska, Schmidt received a call to be Founding Head
of School at ciss and accepted. With just 22 students
in a temporary building, Schmidt reports that “the first
couple years were extremely difficult. As we look back on it
we can see all the miracles that took place.” The economy
of China at the time was poor, and the school suffered
financial problems.
However, with Schmidt’s wife, Sandy, as director
of admissions, the school grew about 40 percent per year.
Currently there are 1,170 students in attendance at ciss and
a waiting list for every grade.
“What the school is known for is academics,” said Schmidt,
“but it is a Christian community.”

After retiring from ciss in 2002, the Schmidts were
approached by lcms World Mission to track all of the
Lutheran schools that had been started in Asia and organize
them into one entity. Schmidt, who served as director for
the newly established Asia Lutheran Education Association
(alea), and his wife worked to connect more than 200
schools across 13 countries.
As a part of his service to the alea, Schmidt attended a 2005
conference in Hong Kong focused on furthering Christian
education in Asia. Representatives came from many countries,
including some from countries that did not yet have any
Lutheran schools. One of those countries was Vietnam.
This school is going
to be a shining light
on a hill academically
and spiritually.
Rev. Ted Engelbrecht, a former hkis teacher, brought several
people from Vietnam with him, and they were “stirred by the
possibility of a school in Vietnam,” Schmidt reports.
Less than a year later, Schmidt and others had selected
Hanoi as their target location and began working on the
approval process from the Vietnamese government. After
four long years spent earning the approval of 35 separate
government offices, the lcms finally received permission
to start the school on July 9, 2010.

The school has hired Steve Winkelman from Texas
to serve as Founding Head of School, and two teachers,
one from Indonesia and one from ciss. The goal is to have
the school open by August of 2011 with classes ranging from
early childhood to 7th grade. Each year the school will add
another grade until the school serves students through the
12th grade.
There are currently two international schools in Hanoi, but
neither is Christian, and they are both full, so the school will
be a welcomed addition.
“There are too many kids who can’t get in,” according
to Schmidt. “The Vietnamese government is looking to get
more international corporations to come into Hanoi and
for that to happen, they need more schools.
“This school is going to be a shining light on a hill
academically and spiritually,” said Schmidt. While the school
will use American curriculum and promote U.S. universities,
it is important to the administration that students
understand the traditions and culture of Vietnam as well.
“We want to lift up the culture of the country we live in,”
Schmidt explained. Vietnamese will be a required second
language for all students, and other languages will be offered
as students get older.
“The mission of the school will be to provide a good
academic environment that is whole-child centered,” said
Schmidt, “and that encourages young people to be sensitive
to the needs of all people and therefore be in service to them.”
A challenge that the school in Vietnam faces is finding
teachers in the middle of what Schmidt called a worldwide
teacher shortage. He is confident, however, that everything
will work out.
“We are sure He’s going to bless this school.”

A dream, a degree, a calling
As a single mother with a full-time job and a 13-year old
son with Asperger’s Syndrome, Lisa Clark is constantly busy.
But when she had the opportunity to complete her degree
through a collaboration between Omaha Public Schools
(OPS) and Concordia, Clark knew she had to find a way to
make it happen.
“To have the opportunity to finish the 4-year college
degree I have always regretted not getting is the biggest
blessing,” she said.
A South Dakota native, Clark initially went to college
to be a dental assistant and worked in the dental field
for 10 years and then in the dental insurance industry
for over two years. After losing her job, she decided to go
back to college. Unsure of which major to declare, she
began to take some general studies courses. In 2005, Clark
was hired with OPS to be a paraprofessional educator with
resource students.
She quickly realized teaching was her calling.
“My first day at the school I knew I was doing what God
made me to do,” shared Clark, “and that’s teach.”
Clark believes her profession helps her be a better
mother to her special needs son, Gregory, and that being
a mother to her special needs son helps her gain greater
understanding for her students.
The opportunity to be part of the Concordia program
came at a trying time in Clark’s life. In May of 2009, Clark
took a leave of absence to return to South Dakota and take
care of her dying mother.
“Just before I left, there was an application for the degree
completion program in my mailbox. I think it was divine
intervention that I got it.”
When Clark received news of acceptance into the program,
she was deeply moved. “I cried with joy for the opportunity
to finish college and realize my lifelong dream of becoming
a teacher.”
Now with the added responsibility of being a college
student, Clark has to work hard at managing her time. She
finds it tough to leave her son for five hours on class nights.
Completing class work to the standard she has set for herself
also can be challenging.
“I have set a goal for myself to work to my highest potential
in college; however, the time it takes to reach that goal
is sometimes astounding, so I have to be continually
disciplined even when I have reached burnout in my life;
not just school. Once in awhile I just have to give myself
permission to get less than an A in a class.”
Despite the challenges, Clark can’t help but reflect
on the blessings that have come from her time as a
Concordia student.
“I have met some really amazing people in my short time
with Concordia. Each and every professor has enriched my
life, challenged me to grow and equipped me with powerful
tools to use at college, at work and at home. I am beginning
to look at the world with an entirely new set of eyes. My
colleagues have also enriched my life with their diverse
backgrounds, cultures and beliefs.”
I cried with joy
for the opportunity
to finish college and
realize my lifelong dream
of becoming a teacher.
After completing her degree Clark hopes to teach English
in a foreign country for a year or two and then return to her
studies to work on her master’s degree and eventually gain
a doctorate in some aspect of education. “I may very well
be the first nursing home resident to gain her doctorate
degree,” she quips.
Clark also hopes her experience will be an example to her son.
“I think it’s important to show my son that no matter how
old you get, you can still continue to educate yourself and
better yourself to achieve the goals you have set for your life.
It doesn’t matter how old you are when dreams are achieved.”

about writing and art, Zum Hofe and Brozek recognized
themselves as kindred spirits. “Lacey’s creativity inspires and feeds
my creativity. Her art is fresh, original and fabulous. Lacey’s really
the one who put this all in motion,” explained Zum Hofe.
In their initial conversation, Brozek shared with Zum Hofe
how she wanted to illustrate a children’s book. Zum Hofe
In May, Brozek met with Zum Hofe to share the drawings from
that class. “I started to tear up when I saw Lacey’s vision of Vincent
[the main character]. She apologized immediately because she
thought I hated it. But I interrupted her and simply said, ‘That’s
him. That’s Vincent.’ How right she got him. He was an idea in my
head and Lacey drew him into life. Magic.”

Dr. Lisa Ashby, associate provost,
spoke on the plenary panel of the
Metropolitan School Administrators
Day in Omaha, Neb., addressing the
question, “What’s New in Higher
Education Today?” Education
professors Donna Dobson and
Susan Mayberger led sessions
as well; Dobson presented on
standards-based grading, and
Mayberger discussed optimal
programming for English language
learners and the development of
culturally proficient materials.
Dr. Jeffrey Blersch, professor of
music, spoke on the background
and composition of his
contributions to the Lutheran
Service Book to those at St.
Matthew Lutheran Church, Spring
Lake, Mich. He has also completed
two commissions: “Beautiful
Savior” for organ, violin, choir and
congregation in honor of the music
ministry of Dr. Harrison and Pat
Boughton at Holy Cross Lutheran
Church, Wichita, Kan., and a
concertato on the hymn “Voices
Raised to You We Offer” for the
Dallas Symphony, the Children’s
Chorus of Greater Dallas and a
festival chorus of members of
Lutheran congregations in the
Dallas/Ft. Worth area conducted by
Concordia alumnus, Sam Eatherton.
Blersch’s newest cd recording, “On
Christmas Night,” was released
in November and contains his
arrangements of eight Christmas
carols published earlier this year
by cph, plus Christmas music by J.
S. Bach, Johannes Brahms, Johann
Pachelbel, Pietro Yon and Louis-
Claude Daquin.
 Although seeing those first illustrations was exciting, the
process of preparing for publication has included a certain
measure of struggle. Brozek and Zum Hofe originally set an
aggressive deadline for the completion of the project, a decision
the full-time student and full-time professor both report took
some of the joy out of the project.
“I told Lacey, ‘We’re rushing and we shouldn’t be.’ After
deciding certainly that waiting to release our book was
our chosen option, excitement and motivation made their
comeback,” Zum Hofe explains. “For both of us, it is not just
about the product but about the process.”
As proof of their commitment to process, Zum Hofe and
Brozek created a blog to document their creative journey.
“We both bring ideas to the story,” Brozek writes in a post
detailing how Zum Hofe’s story has morphed through their
collaboration. “The writer gives ideas to the artist, and the artist
gives ideas to the writer. One without the other, and there may
have been ideas out there that may have never been born.”
For now, Zum Hofe is happy to revel in the deeper meaning
of swapping stories with Brozek and others in their artistic
process. “There’s a power there, when story meets story,” Zum
Hofe writes. “There’s a privilege and a blessing. There’s a shared
feeling, however sorrow-filled or joy-felt, of being alive.”
The Milkshake Shake Up is scheduled to be available in 2011.
Until then, you can check on Zum Hofe and Brozek’s progress

 Beyond the Classroom
As college recruitment becomes more competitive, lab. These updates help to demonstrate the day-to-day activity
Concordia is taking steps to actively share its story through and perspective of the department that a brochure or phone
some its most vocal advocates, members of the faculty. call cannot.
One way faculty members are stepping up to the recruitment
challenge is by finding ways to share Concordia’s story through
the regular duties of their positions. Dr. Jim Juergensen, chair
of the education department, reports, “The recruiting thing
becomes part of everything we do.”
Juergensen spends time preparing student teachers
to represent Concordia well before they go out to their
assignments. “Student teachers are in a unique position

to let others know about Concordia, and they are our best
ambassadors,” he says.
When faculty members meet with principals and key teachers
as they supervise current student teachers, they make sure to ask
about high school students who would fit well at Concordia.
Dr. Ron Bork, dean of the college of education, also sends
a monthly newsletter to recent graduates to keep them
informed about what is happening in the department.
Another way faculty is getting in touch with prospective
students is through the use of social networks.
Dr. Matt Phillips, associate professor of history, created a
history program Facebook page to facilitate communication.
“The pages are relatively easy to set up,” shared Phillips. “I
decided that it should include a daily ‘what happened this
day in history’ post. Additionally, I post about things that our
current students or alumni are doing.”
Other groups around campus have also started Facebook
pages. A team of science faculty post regular updates about
interesting department happenings—from announcements
about guest speakers to photos of the forensic science blood
Dr. Jim Juergenson meets with education students, (clockwise) Chelsea
Vaudt, Celeste Brutus, Anna Kreis and Caleb Egger, about their role during
their student teaching experience as Concordia ambassadors.
Beyond aiding to recruit new students, these pages serve
as communication tools to connect alumni with current
students. To help freshmen better understand their career
options with an English major, the English, Communications
and Theatre Art department used Facebook to post and
receive responses to the question, “Fans and alums, tell us:
What can you do with an English (or English-related) major?”
Faculty members also enjoy receiving feedback for their
efforts. “It is very rewarding when updates bring comments,”
said Associate Professor of Biology Jan Whitson. “It lets
us know that people care about what is going on in the
department. That is very encouraging.”

Student showcase
Meier are all from the Kansas City area. Donald Robson, chair
of Concordia’s art department, was the curator for the exhibit.
Robson feels providing such real world opportunities are essential
for art students. “I had a one-person show at Imago Dei this summer.
The director asked if I would be interested in curating a show for
Concordia students. I jumped at the chance as it was a great
opportunity for our students,” explained Robson.
Onions had three paintings and two ceramic vessels in the
show. “The surfaces of both vessels are textured and
meant to engage the viewer in thinking about the
pot as a whole as well as considering individual
areas that they find beautiful,” she explains.
The paintings also emphasize Onion’s
philosophy about the engagement
of the audience with her art. “Instead
of just passively walking around
artwork in a gallery space, I want my
work to help all people to be able
to think and talk about the specific
work they are seeing or art in general
on some level.”
Showcasing his skills as both an
abstract and realistic artist, Meier
included three paintings in the exhibit.
Francis exhibited representational and
abstract prints and paintings. Birnstein’s oil
and acrylic paintings explored the idea
of perception, especially as she sees it in her
family history.
“Preparing for an exhibition and talking about their work
at a public venue is invaluable for students in their development
as artists,” says Robson. Ceramic vessel by Lauren Onions

A Night at the Improv
Audiences beware, participation is
mandatory when you spend a night
at the Improv.
Members of Concordia’s four-year-old
improvisational comedy troupe, the
IMPROVables, make up scenes on the
spot in their performances, eight
of which happen every year
in Concordia’s Studio Theatre.
A major part of the improv
experience is audience participation.
“In improv they really are part of the
action,” said Marty Kois, one of the
leaders of the group. “They give us
inspiration to work from. We get
ideas from them for every game.”
This year’s directors, juniors Bryce
Tellman, New Salem, N.D.; Kristin
Easler, Fredericks, Va.; Phil Kober,
Collinsville, Ill.; and Kois, Omaha,
Neb.; all point to the inclusion of the
audience as what makes improv special.
“As opposed to just watching the
show, you can participate in it,” said
Tellmann. In addition to making
suggestions, audience members
are sometimes brought on stage
to perform. “It is a really unique
style of theater.”

 Exchanging culture and sharing scholarship
Seven visitors from Nantong University in China, two
professors and five students, spent 10 days on Concordia’s
campus in October experiencing American life and learning
about American educational practices.
The Chinese visitors were part
of a growing exchange program
between Nantong University and
Concordia. In March 2010, Dr. Daniel
Thurber, dean of the college of arts
and sciences, and then sophomores
Erika MacGregor, Kalispell, Mont.,
and Hannah Kroonblawd, Eagan,
Minn., visited Nantong University,
.
located two hours north of Shanghai.

Kroonblawd was surprised at the
view the students she met had
of America.
“All of their information about
America comes from movies,” said
Kroonblawd. “I’ve been looking
forward to this visit for a long time.
I want them to experience what
America is really like.”

guests a taste of traditional American
activities. “My favorite part was
experiencing American traditional
festivals like hay rides and hot dog

student Xiaowen Chen.
The visitors also attended volleyball
games and band concerts, ate dinner
with professors and their families
and went to the Henry Doorly Zoo
in Omaha. competition between sets at the volleyball
“I got to help show them what family life in America is like,”
said Kroonblawd. “Only one of them has a sibling. At the zoo
they were surprised at how many fathers were interacting with
their children.”
The students and teachers also were
able to experience a setting different
from their home. The bustling city
of Nantong is quite different from
rural Nebraska, and Nantong does
not experience autumn weather.
While they did experience many
cultural activities, the main reason
the students came to Concordia was
to see how American universities
train their education students. The
visitors attended education and
psychology classes and spent an
entire day observing at the schools
in Seward.
“The opportunity to go abroad
to experience American culture and
how students live and study here will
open their eyes,” said Binbin Gu, an
instructor at Nantong University’s
School of Educational Science. “It will
help them in their teaching to have
an international view.”

 Concordia’s Champions
Althea Gibson, the first African
American woman to win at
Wimbledon once said, “In sports, you
simply are not considered a champion
until success becomes consistent.
Winning once can be a fluke, but
winning again and again proves you
are the best.”
Reflecting on its consistently solid
performance, Concordia’s cross country
program has earned the champion
title. The program has
enjoyed tremendous
success at the conference
and national levels while
garnering the admiration of
coaches in other programs.
“Concordia’s cross
country teams are the
benchmark programs
for both the men and
women’s teams nationally
.
in the naia,” remarked
Jonathan Zimmerman,
26 athletics
head cross country coach
at Biola University and 1981
graduate of Concordia.
“Year in and year out they are finishing
at the top in their conference and
at national meets—as well
.
as being loaded with top-notch
scholar-athletes.”
The Bulldogs show no signs of
slowing down.
This year has been yet another
impressive year. The men were ranked
eighth and the women 12th in the
naia Preseason Coaches’ Poll. Among
the gpac, Concordia was the only
men’s team ranked in the top 25, and
only Morningside College joined the
Concordia women in the top 25.
“Our women were quite young
last year with five or six of our
top 10 runners being freshman or
sophomores,” noted Coach Einspahr.
“As a group of runners, I thought we
had some good potential to compete
in the top 20 in the naia, but it was
mostly just that—potential. They have
now developed into a group that is
fulfilling that potential and racing
with some confidence.”
Concordia’s cross
country teams are the
benchmark programs
for both the men
and women’s teams
nationally in the naia.
“Our men certainly had a year to
remember last year,” added Einspahr.
“We lost a great deal of experience
and talent with a number of our top
runners who graduated last year. I
thought our men could compete in
the top 20 of the naia and for the
top two spots in the gpac this year.
Some of our freshmen have been a big
surprise in how they have moved up
to the longer distance in college. I have
also been surprised at how well they
have performed in big races this year.”
The consistency of the Concordia
cross country program has been
striking over the years. Last year (2009)
marked the 16th straight year the
Concordia women finished in the top 20
at Nationals. With their 20th place finish
at the 2010 naia National Cross Country
Meet, the men have finished in the top
25 for 11 years in a row and in 13 of the
past 15 years. What is the secret
to success?
“I’m really not sure,” joked Einspahr, who
has been named conference or regional
Coach-of-the-Year more
than 25 times. “Certainly we
would like to think that we
work hard at recruiting and
coaching. We have been
fortunate to attract some
clearly talented runners from
Nebraska and around
the country. Our program
has also had good success
developing runners who have
never run cross country.”
When talking with Einspahr,
it becomes very clear that his
desire to continue improving
the program remains strong.
“We have always had high expectations
for our runners and our program,” said
Einspahr. “Our training methods are
based on common sense, practical
experience as runners ourselves and
sound physiological principles. As
coaches we are still learning every year,
so things get changed a little here and
there to try to make the program better.
I still call other coaches around the
country every couple weeks, and we
talk about training and workout ideas.

It is an ongoing process of learning and
trying to be better as coaches.”

was named all-conference in football all four years and was
an all-Lutheran selection in 1964 and 1965. During his 1964
wrestling season, Oetting was the conference champion. After
earning his degree at Concordia, Oetting went on to a lifetime

 Blowing away
Tornado Alley
Concordia alumnus Michael Frates ’08 has always
had a love of severe weather, and his breakthrough
research on tornadoes echoes just that.
“As a child growing up in western Nebraska,” Frates
muses, mixing boyhood wonder with science, “I was
fortunate to witness severe weather on a regular
basis. I spent many hours studying the atmospheric
phenomenon happening around me, especially
tornadoes and mesoscale storm systems. It wasn’t until
I started graduate school that I had the opportunity to
apply my passion for weather in a geographic context.”
While working on his master’s degree at the
University of Akron, Frates studied the distribution
of tornadoes with tracks greater than 20 miles
in geographic regions that encompass most of the
central and eastern United States.

feedback. I am currently making some enhancements to the

original research and plan to present this at the 2011 aag
conference in Seattle, Wash.,” said Frates.
Frates’ research was also featured by msnbc, The Washington
Post, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Discovery News, and
Science News.

Frates attributes much of his success to his time studying

“I began working on this research during the spring of
2009. Originally, it started as a project for an advanced
course in Geographic Information Systems (gis) at The
University of Akron, but I continued to refine the research
after I completed the course,” said Frates.
Contrary to widely held beliefs, Frates’ research shows
that the most severe tornadoes (those classified as F3,
F4 or F5) actually occur in a region referred to as “Dixie
at Concordia and to Dr. John Kinworthy, professor emeritus.
“Essentially, I owe everything to Concordia,” said Frates.
“Dr. John Kinworthy first introduced me to gis and pushed me
to apply for graduate school.” Frates, who now works at the
Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) in Redlands,
Calif., even wrote in a blog post on the Esri website about the
importance of Dr. Kinworthy to his success.
Frates cites Concordia as a whole, however, for how his life
has been shaped. “Without Concordia, my life would be
dramatically different. The professional faculty, helpful staff
and dynamic students all contributed to the best four years
of my life. I miss it every day.”

Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee and

education were tremendous gifts to the church and to
Concordia for decades,” said Rev. Dr. Brian Friedrich. “Ted
served to bring others to Christ. He was a model servant
leader. We grieve with his family at his passing and rejoice
in the sure promise of eternal life that has been won for us
all by Christ.”
Janzow spent more than 20 years serving at Concordia,
including as president from 1963-1977. He also held various
roles from 1959-1962 and from 1977-1982, including professor
of sociology and religion, chairman of the religion and social
science departments and director of college relations.
While at Concordia, he held numerous elected positions of
leadership within Lutheran and public education, including
president/chairman of the Nebraska Association of Church
Colleges, the Nebraska Association of Colleges and Universities,
the Nebraska Independent College Foundation, and the
Council of Missouri Synod College and Seminary Presidents.
Concordia says goodbye

of Concordia Lutheran Seminary at Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada, where he served until 1987.
In addition to his service at Concordia, Nebraska and
Concordia, Edmonton, Janzow served as pastor for 18 years
in congregations in Minnesota, Illinois and Nebraska and also
was the district president in The Lutheran Church—Missouri
Synod Southern Illinois District.
A native of Ada, Minn., Janzow earned a master of divinity

of arts degree at Southern Illinois University (1957); a doctorate
in philosophy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1970);

Theological Seminary—Springfield, Ill. (1965).
