GeauxSioux Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I like the fact that her background contains business as well as academia. Welcome to North Dakota, Susan. 1 Quote
Teeder11 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 She comes off as a very sharp and engaging person. And she presented heself very well in public during her campus visit in April. The big challenge will be learning the political environment in North Dakota and finding ways to work with Bismarck instead of against it. The best thing about her is that she used to test ride Harleys when she worked for HD in Milwaukee! Quote
ScottM Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I like the fact that her background contains business as well as academia. Welcome to North Dakota, Susan. Agreed. Too many academics lack any background outside of the "ivory tower". Seems like she has a lot to offer the school and its stakeholders. Quote
