siouxnami Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 How much does Kupchella care about hockey? See if you can find out in this unaltered quote, from an alumni email... The men's hockey won the Final Five and the NCAA Western Regional before losing to Boston College in the Frozen Four in Milwaukee. I congratulate head coach Dave Hackstol, his staff, and the players on another terrific year. We set attendance records during the Western Regional played at the REA; it is a tribute to the entire Grand Forks community that we were able to successfully host such an exciting event.

Siouxdonyms Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I highly doubt Kupchella actually typed the alumni e-mail, but regardless, it should have been caught and corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Here's the entire email that was sent by President Kupchellato alumni. Lot's of stuff, easy to misspell a work or too. No big deal. Vol. 1, No. 3 May 2006 Spring Commencement is around the corner. The UND campus and the Grand Forks community have been bustling with activity in the past few months including concerts, Broadway-style shows, the North Dakota Writers Conference, the 37th annual UNDIA Powwow, youth sporting events, and the NCAA Men's Hockey Western Regional. The NCAA denied our second appeal regarding the logo issue on April 28. We are disappointed with the ruling, and we are now exploring all of our options -- legal and otherwise. I will continue to keep you informed about what our next action will be. We have close to $45 million in new construction projects on tap, including a parking structure, a student housing complex, a nursing research building, and the EERC's new National Center for Hydrogen Technology. We dedicated the new American Indian Center on April 7, a 5,272 square-foot facility for American Indian Student Services and several American Indian student organizations. The dedication was a high point of this year's Time-out Wacipi Week. We always are looking for our outstanding alumni to get more involved with UND. Would you like to assist our current students? You and your organization may share internship, cooperative education, or full-time job opportunities with students by contacting UND Career Services. Please send an e-mail to lynnlee@mail.UND.edu to begin the process of providing opportunities for UND students. Thank you for assisting UND students by partnering with UND Career Services. Here are just a few highlights coming out of UND in the past two months: An enterprising team of North Dakota college students unveiled a brand new space suit at a rugged, Mars-like North Dakota Badlands test site this week. The multi-institution group comprises students and their faculty advisors from the University of North Dakota, the North Dakota State College of Science, Turtle Mountain Community College, North Dakota State University, and Dickinson State University. "Our college students here in North Dakota can do amazing things---this project showcases this local talent with a cutting-edge, high-tech project," says Shan de Silva, chair of UND Department of Space Studies, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)-North Dakota Space Grant Consortium, and principal investigator on the space suit project. "A lot of people thought we were crazy to undertake this project---but its success unequivocally testifies to the hard work, perseverance, creativity, and ingenuity of North Dakota's young people." You can read about the project at the Project webpage http://www.human.space.edu/. Click on the blog http://spacesuitlab.blogspot.com/ for daily updates and pictures on the testing. Mechanical engineering student Joe Polo earned Olympic bronze at the Winter Games in Torino this year as a member of Bemidji native Pete Fenson's USA curling team. Polo, a Duluth native who grew up in Cass Lake, Minn., started curling in 1992 at age 9 and scored a coveted spot on the Junior Nationals All-Star Team in 2004 before heading to Italy in February. Polo plans to return to UND in the fall after taking this semester off to curl. The UND Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of The Sioux Scholarship Endowment. Established anonymously by several donors, the amount of the endowment already exceeds $1 million. The endowment will provide scholarships to American Indian students of Sioux heritage to attend the University of North Dakota. Starting this fall, $40,000 in scholarships will be awarded each year. Space sciences professor Michael Gaffey -- a world-renowned asteroid hunter -- nailed down his profession's top two honors this year for a lifetime of pioneering research that includes developing ways to prevent big space objects from crashing into the Earth. The Planetary Division of the Geological Society of America G. K. Gilbert Award is presented annually for outstanding contributions to the solution of fundamental problems in planetary geology. The Meteoritical Society Leonard Medal, which Gaffey will collect in Zurich, Switzerland, in August, honors outstanding contributions in meteoritics and closely related fields. Starting in mid-April, seven Grand Forks bus stop shelters house the work of UND graphic design students. Under the direction of art department professor Lucy Ganje, the students put their talents to work creating public art. The student project also inaugurated the art department's new Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design and new art media, which was recently approved by the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education and accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. This project allowed students to build their portfolios while partnering with local government to create high-quality art for the benefit of the community. A UND-based team of researchers organized to study sustainable energy received a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and close to $1 million in supplemental funding from North Dakota EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research). These funds will support research that is part of UND's SUNRISE (Sustainable Energy Research, Infrastructure, and Supporting Education) initiative. The team includes eight faculty from chemistry and chemical engineering, and two chemistry faculty from North Dakota State University. The team aims to develop information about reducing the environmental impact of coal combustion by studying its processes and emissions, according to Wayne Seames, a UND chemical engineering faculty member. A survey conducted last fall of UND freshmen highlighted why the most recent class selected UND. The results reinforced UND's 13-decade legacy of excellence. We know that the University has a great reputation; this survey provided additional evidence of that. The top three reasons influencing a student's decision to attend UND were: very good academic reputation (63.8%); graduates get good jobs (57.7%); and good reputation for social activities (43%). More than 80% of the students first heard about UND from family or friends -- a powerful reminder of word-of-mouth endorsement. More than 88% of the students said UND was their first choice, 18% higher than the average for all public universities nationally. Stephen Wonderlich, professor and associate chair of clinical neuroscience at the Fargo campus of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, focuses on anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder first described in 1689 but still poorly understood; it affects mostly adolescent and young adult women. With a new $2 million National Institutes of Health grant to continue his research, Wonderlich has 120 study participants keep up-to-the-minute diaries which are encoded and analyzed. "The benefit of this 'diary technology' is that it may help to identify aspects of anorexic individuals' lives that may lead to more effective treatments for this condition," Wonderlich says. The men's hockey won the Final Five and the NCAA Western Regional before losing to Boston College in the Frozen Four in Milwaukee. I congratulate head coach Dave Hackstol, his staff, and the players on another terrific year. We set attendance records during the Western Regional played at the REA; it is a tribute to the entire Grand Forks community that we were able to successfully host such an exciting event.
