LETTERfrom the PresidentDear Friends,As we prepare to celebrate our 100th anniversary in October 2014, we’re moving full-steam ahead

to meet industry’s 21st-century needs. Our goal is to change people’s lives by providing opportunities

for graduates to find immediate jobs and have great careers through technical education.

1DUNWOODY COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY — ANNUAL REPORT 2013

To accomplish our mission, Dunwoody responds to the needs

of industry and the career needs of our graduates. We offer

students the ability to complete a program that prepares

them for that first job and, as they advance in their careers,

we provide the opportunity for students to complete a

Bachelor of Science degree. Nearly 20 percent of our

students are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs like

the new B.S. in Industrial Engineering Technology program.

This fall we launched a new computer systems analyst

bachelor’s degree, and next fall we will launch a bachelor’s

degree in architecture, pending final accreditation.

All of our new programs, whether they are certificate, assoc-

iate’s degree or bachelor’s degree, are in direct response to

industry’s suggestions and workforce needs. For example,

the Makers Coalition, a group dedicated to building the

industrial sewing workforce, came to us and said that U.S.

manufacturers could produce a lot more product and grow

in size if they had more trained technicians. So we worked

with them and a nonprofit called Lifetrack to create a

22-week program that takes people who are unemployed

or in transition and gets them into sewing fabrication jobs.

We’re developing programming to attract more women

and minority students to campus and help them see the

economic advantage that our programs offer. Dunwoody

graduates get good, well-paying jobs. That’s because our

programs are hands-on and practical. It’s because our faculty

are experts in their fields and care about their students’

success. And it’s because we work with industry to make

sure that our graduates meet employers’ workforce needs

for today and tomorrow. Last year, 420 people earned

Dunwoody certificates and degrees; 95 percent of them

are now employed in their fields.

Down the road, these new programs and others in the works

will transform Dunwoody. We’ll need more scholarships,

faculty support and high-tech facilities that model best

practices and mimic what our graduates find in the work-

place. Through your support we can become a nationally

recognized comprehensive technical college offering

certificates, associates and bachelor’s degrees in all of our

programs. More importantly, we will continue to change

lives by providing programs that transition people into the

workplace and help them achieve the American Dream

while meeting the demands of our state, regional and

national workforce.

It’s all made possible by your ongoing and generous support.

Thank you for helping Dunwoody change people’s lives

through technical education. You make a difference.

Stay committed. Be proud. We are Dunwoody!

Rich Wagner, Ph.D. President, Dunwoody College of Technology

to Dunwoody CollegeHAPPY ANNIVERSARY

For nearly 100 years, the Dunwoody name has been associated with excellence, discipline and success. Whatever their career paths, Dunwoody alumni make a difference.

Some become top-notch technicians

in high demand by employers;

others rise through the ranks to

become managers, vice presidents

and presidents. Still others launch

businesses and find that the lessons

of hard work and dedication to

quality they learned at Dunwoody

are highly valued by their customers.

One of those entrepreneurs is Ray

Newkirk, ’65 Machine Tool, a 1989

recipient of the Dunwoody Alumni

Entrepreneur Award and a former

Dunwoody Trustee (1999 - 2011).

Ray is owner of Forest Lake-based

Teamvantage and Custom Mold

& Design of New Hope. An active

Dunwoody volunteer and generous

donor, he’s helping the next

generation of technicians, leaders

and entrepreneurs make their marks.

“Life isn’t supposed to be easy.”

Growing up in southern Minnesota,

Ray knew he was smart, but good

grades didn’t come easily: His brain

ran at a mile a minute, and high

school subjects requiring a lot of

memorization were difficult. “If

Ritalin had been available when I

was a little kid, they would have

been giving it to me by the spoonful,”

laughs Ray. “But the mechanical

things were easy for me.” Fascinated

with the local blacksmith’s shop

and the process of working with

metal, at age seventeen he began

working his way from the farm to

Minneapolis to learn the toolmaker

trade at Dunwoody. “I scratched

and I clawed, but I wanted to go to

Dunwoody, and come hell or high

water it was going to happen.” When

he finally enrolled in Dunwoody, he

was working fulltime in a Golden

Valley machine shop, married and

supporting two kids. He attended

class in the evenings for several

years and loved every minute of it.

“Personal discipline leads to personal freedom.”

At Dunwoody, Ray punched the

time clock, studied trigonometry

and, among other things, learned the

basics of machining and tool making.

He put that knowledge to work and

founded Tape Incorporated soon after

finishing the evening machine tool

program in 1965. Tape Inc. eventually

filed nine patents for fusion bonding

thermoplastics and developed a

product line of machinery known as

Hydra Sealer. In 1987, he sold Tape Inc.

and tried to retire, but it didn’t take. “I

worked very hard at photography to

try to fill my life with something,” he

remembers, “but I just felt something

was missing at the end of the day.” In

2003 he purchased Teamvantage, a

plastic injection molding business,

and went back to work. “I’m not a

workaholic,” he claims. “I just love what

I do.” Teamvantage is now the largest

private employer in Forest Lake and a

global player in the medical, electronic,

defense and industrial markets.

“The definition of luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.”

A few years after Ray purchased

Teamvantage, a drama was unfolding

at Custom Mold & Design (CMD) in

New Hope. CMD had been a highly

respected manufacturer of precision

Profile:RAY NEWKIRK, ’65Company: Teamvantage


“The harder you work, THE LUCKIER YOU GET.”—Ray Newkirk

DUNWOODY COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY — ANNUAL REPORT 2013

molds for nearly four decades, and

had thrived under the leadership of

company founder and Dunwoody

alum Duane Treiber. But in 2001,

when Duane sold CMD to a major

manufacturer and retired, the

company began struggling. By 2003,

the company was near liquidation.

Realizing the value of CMD’s

reputation and expertise, Ray bought

the company and returned it to its

former glory–and then some. Since

its founding, CMD has designed and

manufactured over 5,000 molds. The

combined experience of its engineers

and mold manufacturers—many

of them Dunwoody alumni—is in

excess of a thousand years, and many

employees have been there 20 years

or more. “Employees matter more

to me than customers,” explains Ray.

“Probably what I am the most proud of

is the people’s lives I’ve helped build.”

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Today, both CMD and Teamvantage

focus on creating innovative,

high quality solutions for their

customers; usually working within

a tolerance of .0001 inches. (For

comparison, a human hair is .003

inches.) “We’re in the problem-

solving business,” says Ray. “We

do some very unconventional

things that have never been done

before, and it’s because we look

at it with no boundaries.” When

CMD or Teamvantage starts a new

project, managers think about what

combination of skills they need to

solve the customer’s problem, and

then assemble a creative team of

engineers, programmers, toolmakers,

machinists and others to tackle

it. “We’re trying to grow our people

all the time because the company

can’t grow if our people don’t grow.”

“Be committed to continuous improvement.”

When Ray designed the sparkling

new 111,000 square-foot

Teamvantage facility (opened in

May 2013), he worked hard to

create an environment that was

comfortable, pleasant and inspiring

for its 127 employees. Always a visual

thinker, Ray could easily envision

the layout and flow of the building.

Having learned from experience

that stress hinders creativity and

threatens quality, he told the builder

to include ceiling tiles in the shop

(a rarity in manufacturing) and

lots of windows to humanize the

workplace. In addition to state-of-the

art equipment, there’s plenty of

storage and open space, and the

facility is clean, spacious and calm. “It

just takes a little extra thought and

persistence to make it happen,” he

says. When CMD moves from New

Hope to Forest Lake in spring 2014,

80 employees will move into an

impressive facility that will nearly

double the space they have in the

current building. Ray hopes both

facilities will be models not only

for industry, but for Dunwoody,

too. “It’s the wave of the future,”

he explains. “I think it makes a

big statement as to how much we

care about our people, and it’s not

that much more expensive to do it

well and make it nice for people.”

newsSolar Power Comes to Dunwoody

Renewable energy has come a long way since Mort Mortenson, Sr., ’25 Building Construction, launched his

construction business in 1954. Today,

renewable energy contracting is a

significant portion of Mortenson

Construction’s business, and one of

the fastest growing industries in

the nation.

Thanks to support from the

Mortenson Family Foundation

and Alice and Mort Mortenson,

Jr., in spring 2014, Dunwoody

College will launch courses in solar

and wind power. The Mortenson

family’s support helped launch the

new Materials Science Lab for the

department of Construction Sciences

and Building Technology as well as

the Interactive Renewable Energy

Lab. With the Mortenson family’s

support, Dunwoody has installed ten

rooftop solar panels for students to

learn how to connect and commission

a utility-interactive solar system. As

a bonus, the panels will help meet

Dunwoody’s electrical needs. In

the classroom, students will install

panels and connect the system using

micro-inverter technology on a

smaller scale to replicate an actual

system installation.

Back outside, students will run

experiments on a large stand-alone

portable battery system. The charge-

controlled battery will support a

small wind-power turbine, which will

allow students and faculty to operate

the wind system on battery, wind or

hybrid power, as needed. In addition,

students will use solar pathfinders to

determine the most economical and

efficient location and position of the

photovoltaic array (a linked collection

of solar panels).

First B.S. Industrial Engineering Technology Graduates Hit the Workforce

Equipped with an A.A.S. degree in Industrial Electronics from Dunwoody,

Dustin Zachman was earning a steady

income as a bench technician. It was

good work, but he wanted more.

Zachman turned to Dunwoody, and

enrolled in the new Bachelor of

Science in Industrial Engineering

Technology program (B.S. IENG),

which allowed him to continue

working fulltime. In May 2013,

Zachman became one of the first

graduates of the program and

landed a job as a programming and

automation specialist with H20

Innovation. “Never before have I had

a position with such fulfillment and

challenge,” says Zachman. “Now when

I put in extra hours I’m not simply

pushing more product out the door;

I’m learning new technologies and

techniques that help make me better

at my job and happier with my life.”

Dunwoody designed the B.S. IENG

program for people like Dustin who

have A.A.S. degrees in manufacturing-

related fields and are hoping to

advance their careers and earning

potential. Classes are held three

nights a week and include both recent

A.A.S degree graduates as well as

those who have been out of school

for decades. The program includes

internships and capstone projects

that ensure graduates can apply their

knowledge and skills on the job. “I

think my employer sees the value of a

Dunwoody graduate,” says Zachman.

Dunwoody Designs Architecture

Bachelor’s Degree

As dean of Construction Sciences and

Building Technology, Bridget Reynolds

has seen her share of frustrated

would-be architects in Dunwoody’s

architectural drafting and design

program. “Architecture is a calling,”

she explains. Not getting into the only

architecture school in Minnesota—a

highly selective master’s degree

program at a research university—can

be heartbreaking for students who’ve

dreamed of becoming architects since

they were kids. Pending final approval,

Dunwoody will soon offer an alter-

native: the Bachelor of Architecture

degree, a five-year, full-time

professional degree for students who

want to design buildings that work.

In typical Dunwoody style, there

will be plenty of hands-on learning,

internships and even an opportunity

to study abroad.

The program is designed as a

“two-plus-three” experience:

Students will receive an Associate

of Applied Science degree after two

years and a Bachelor of Architecture

degree after the remaining three

years. They will be prepared to sit

for the Architectural Registration

Exam immediately after graduation.

The Dunwoody program will

incorporate the latest advancements

in design technology—software that

architects use to create performance

simulations, representations

of architectural conditions and

modeling, for example—and state-

of-the art, sustainable building

technology, including building

systems, materials (think CO2-eating

concrete) and methods.

Women in Nontraditional Careers Initiative

Nationwide, only about 13 percent of

technical college students are women.

Dunwoody’s Women in Nontraditional

Careers Initiative seeks to recruit,

retain, and graduate more women with

certificates and degrees that lead to

nontraditional jobs (defined by the

Federal government as those that

employ less than 25 percent women).

The goal is to increase the number

of women students to 20 percent by

2020 by offering scholarships, cohort

activities, child care support, and a

targeted marketing campaign that will

help women see how nontraditional

degree programs and careers might

work for them. Targeted learning

programs include Automotive

Technology, Computer Technology,

Robotics and Manufacturing, and

most programs within Construction

Sciences & Building Technology.

Congratulations, President Wagner

Dunwoody President Rich Wagner

has been named president of the

American Technical Education

Association (ATEA). ATEA is the

premier association for post-

secondary technical educators,

with emphasis on professional

development. “I will use my ATEA

presidency to continue to make

the case for the value of applied

learning to improve lives, businesses

and communities,” says President

Wagner. Dunwoody will host

ATEA‘s 51st National Conference

on Technical Education on March

26 – 28, 2014. Futurist Jack Uldrich,

author of Ten Trends Transforming the Technical Education of Tomorrow

will make the keynote address. A

Dunwoody alumni entrepreneur

panel will discuss the role technical

education plays in creating

businesses. For more information or

Dunwoody’s Gone “Plum Crazy”

When people like Automotive

Department Dean Jon Kukachka

and MCAP faculty member Steve

Reinarts (pictured above) catch sight

of the latest addition to Dunwoody

College’s automotive lab, they go

a little crazy. Plum Crazy, that is.

Chrysler’s SRT8 Challenger 392

is a classic muscle car that, like all

good halo vehicles, captures the

imagination and brings out the

12-year-old kid in everyone who likes

things that go fast and look cool doing

it. After Chrysler exhibited the car

at the 2012 New York International

Auto Show, this unique vehicle came

to Dunwoody in recognition of the

long-term partnership between

Chrysler and Dunwoody and the

company’s continued commitment to

the College. Drew Croxell, national

manager of vocational education for

Chrysler Group LLC, chose Dunwoody

as the recipient out of the nation’s 25

Mopar College Automotive Programs

(MCAP). MCAP is a study/internship

program that trains high-caliber

automotive technicians for employ-

ment at Chrysler Group dealerships

nationwide, including the 13 in the

Twin Cities. The car will supplement

learning opportunities for students,

but its primary use will be to promote

Dunwoody’s automotive programs at

high school visits and other student

recruitment events. Watch for Plum

Crazy at upcoming events or come see

it at Dunwoody College!

2013 Putting Challenge

Engineering Drafting and Design

(MDES) students designed and proto-

typed golf putters for a fall 2013

product design class. They learned

about movements of inertia and how to

design to professional standards using

SolidWorks 3D modeling software.

The designs were then cast at Modern

Metals Foundry (MMF). Students and

staff tested out the putters and voted

for their favorites. Special thanks

to Don Taylor and MMF Inc. for

sponsoring this student project.

New Sewing Program Means Jobs

Manufacturers in the U.S. textile

and apparel industries have a

huge shortage of workers to fill

specialized jobs. As the demand for

more products that are “Made in the

USA” grows and problems arise with

overseas production, the demand

for more workers specializing in

cut-and-sew positions is rising faster

than it can be met. Dunwoody’s new

Sewing & Production Specialist for

Manufacturing program is filling that

gap. The Makers Coalition, a group

of companies in the cut-and-sew

industry, joined Dunwoody College of

Technology to develop this six-month

program during which students

attend classes two or three nights a

week to learn how to be industrial

sewers. The program, which began in

June 2012, is not only helping fill a gap

in the workplace, but changing lives.

Students, about half of whom are

immigrants, complete the program

and enter jobs earning $16 or more

an hour, plus benefits. The program

is changing the lives of its students,

from a homeless man whose tuition

is paid for by a local non-profit, to a

former janitor starting a new career.

The program has been featured on

CNBC, CBS News, CNN, KARE11,

and the New York Times.

Dunwoody College of Technology was pleased to award the William and Kate Dunwoody Philanthropist Award to three couples at

the annual Evening of Recognition at the Minneapolis Club. The award is named in recognition of College founders William and Kate

Dunwoody and given to individuals in recognition of their exceptional volunteer or financial support of Dunwoody College. We are

extremely proud of these award recipients and honored that they choose to support the College. Individually and collectively, their

unparalleled philanthropic spirit and passion have made an enormous impact on the institution and our students.

Clifford I. & Nancy Anderson

Cliff Anderson was a member of the Board of Trustees for 26 years, during which time he served on the Finance and Building Committees and as board chair from 1992 to 1994. He has been an honorary trustee since retiring from the board in 2004. Cliff is a strong advocate of improving and investing in the school’s infrastructure, and his and Nancy’s financial contributions have supported much-needed building projects and technology improvements. In 2009, Dunwoody recognized their generous volunteer leadership and financial support with the naming of the Anderson Legacy Room, a conference room used often by Dunwoody College faculty, staff and volunteer leaders. Cliff and Nancy understand that meeting some of the College’s greatest (and less glamorous) needs—such as building maintenance or maintaining ongoing programming—is absolutely critical.

Joel & Mary Ann Elftmann

Joel Elftmann, ’60 Machine Tool, joined the Board of Trustees in 1987, and was the first alum to serve as chair of board. Under Joel’s leadership as chair from 2000 to 2002, the College changed its name from Dunwoody Institute to Dunwoody College of Technology and successfully completed the $25 million Living the Promise…Fulfilling the Dream campaign. In recognition of his entrepre-neurial success, the College presented Joel with the Alumni Entrepreneur Award in 1987. The Elftmann Family Fund has supported Dunwoody College’s annual operations and special projects for many years. Joel and Mary Ann’s interest in helping students was recog-nized in 2006 with the naming of the Elftmann Student Success Center. The center offers tutoring and assistance in skill development to students.

Cornell L. & Wenda Weekes Moore

Cornell Moore served on the Board of Trustees for 31 years and was a longstanding member of the Finance Committee and the Pension/Compensation Committee. He retired from the board in 2013, but he and Wenda remain among the college’s most enthusiastic cheerleaders. They generously supported the College’s 75th Anniversary Campaign and are loyal contributors to the Annual Fund. Their interest and support of diversity issues at Dunwoody was recognized in 2007, with the naming of the Cornell L. and Wenda Weekes Moore Multi-Cultural Center, which promotes the value of diversity and prepares students to be competitive in a global society and changing workforce. Beyond Dunwoody, Cornell and Wenda are influential leaders in education, publishing and public affairs. Their extraordinary local and national volunteer activities include Wenda’s 24-year service on the W.K. Kellogg Foundation board, and Cornell’s leadership with the Boy Scouts of America.

Fellow Alumni and Friends: Giving is a

very personal thing, and some people

in Minnesota think even talking about

money is impolite. It’s time to change that!

I volunteer time and make a donation to

Dunwoody College of Technology every year because I

believe in what is happening there. I believe in the College’s

goals and I am proud of its nearly 100-year history. The

College had a significant impact on my life, and I want to

help current and future students have the same experience.

Furthermore, the new graduates Dunwoody produces

directly affect the success of my profession.

Dunwoody has asked me why I give at a certain level and if I

would be willing to significantly increase that amount. That

got me thinking, and I have decided to increase my annual

donation to the College this year.

As I become more established professionally and personally,

I do have the capability of giving more. I need to consider

putting Dunwoody in my will and giving them some stock

that has appreciated lately. None of these donations will

change my lifestyle or even really affect my retirement plans.

But an increased donation to the College could significantly

affect current Dunwoody students and the exciting new

programming at the College.

I urge you to think about your giving level too. As a collective

group of Dunwoody supporters, increasing all our gifts can

make a significant difference. Please join me and invest

in Dunwoody today. Look at what our support has helped

accomplish already!

Chris Swingley, ’81, Architectural Drafting President, Alumni Association Board of Managers

LETTER from the President of the Alumni Association Board of Managers


The Annual Fund is a core component of Dunwoody College’s fundraising efforts each year. Let’s put the Annual Fund in context with a few “Frequently Asked Questions.”

How many alumni currently give to Dunwoody?

Did you know that if every living Dunwoody alum contributed $100 to Dunwoody, it would generate more than $2 million in support? That’s based on an estimate of “reachable” alumni of 20,000+ individuals!

But the reality is that fewer than 1,000 alumni made contributions to Dunwoody last year. One reason for the gap of support is that Dunwoody hasn’t always had the resources to keep in close touch with our alumni. That’s why we are focusing on extending our message to as many alumni as possible through channels such as this annual report.

What is the value of annual giving to Dunwoody?

Whether you give $10, $100, $1,000 or $10,000, we want you to show your support for Dunwoody with a gift to the annual fund. Your gift will combine with those of other alumni to have a big impact on today’s Dunwoody students. Participation matters!

Why does Dunwoody need financial support from alumni and friends?

Tuition provides only about 75 percent of our annual operating costs. Investment income, including income from William and Kate Dunwoody’s

endowment, provides only 8 percent. Donations to the Annual Fund help fill the gap to provide talented instructors and quality materials and tools and to keep tuition as low as possible. Gifts also fund student support services that help every student succeed and equipment that keeps Dunwoody on the leading edge of emerging technologies.

What is Dunwoody’s goal for Annual Fund support in 2013-14?

Our goal this year is to raise $750,000 in unrestricted support for operating costs, and $400,000 in scholarship support. Most gifts from individuals are given as unrestricted support, allowing Dunwoody to direct the funds where they are needed most. In addition to unrestricted and scholarship support, we raise funds designated to specific programs or projects such as YCAP (Youth Career Awareness Program), which helps underserved youth graduate from high school and begin technical careers.

What are Dunwoody’s long-range goals for giving to the Annual Fund?

Participation: We hope every alum takes pride in his or her lifelong association with Dunwoody and can give back at some level. Maybe it begins with a gift of $10 and grows over time. The important thing is to support the school that prepared you for your career. Your gift is both a gesture of gratitude and a show of support for today’s Dunwoody students. Strong alumni participation

raises Dunwoody’s profile and keeps our reputation strong in the community.

Leadership: For alumni and friends with higher giving capacity, Dunwoody offers opportunities for leadership giving. Gifts of $1,000 and more receive special recognition from the college. Leadership gifts help the college move toward our annual goals more quickly.

Loyalty: Many of our alumni and friends are loyal donors who give to Dunwoody every year for ten, twenty, thirty years or more. Dunwoody is fortunate to have these consistent, dependable donors. Another way to sustain your support of Dunwoody is by making your gift on a monthly basis.

How do I give?

You have several convenient options for making a gift to Dunwoody. You can use the donor envelope provided in this publication to send a check made out to Dunwoody College of Technology or give by credit or debit card or online at dunwoody.edu.

Thank you to those who gave last year.

Please continue your tradition of giving and see what a difference it makes! If you haven’t given before or for several years, please consider joining us with your gift.

The Annual Fund: EVERY GIFT MATTERS


Alumni donors are followed by their year of graduation or last year of enrollment.

Every effort was made to be as accurate as possible in recognizing our contributors. However, if you do find an error, please let us know by contacting the Development Office at 612-381-3064, or at [email protected].

“This scholarship will help out a lot with the tuition this year. My father has been laid off several times in the last couple years, and I’m paying for most of my tuition. The scholarship will alleviate a bit of the pressure financially. I’m working 32 hours a week to pay for tuition, as well as being a full-time student.”

Scholarships Drive the Future

For several years Ron,

’54 Automotive, and

Darlene Cradit have made

a significant impact on

Dunwoody Automotive

students with scholarship

support. “You are a blessing

– a true gift to me,” said

Kokou Azalekar, one of

the students who received

a Cradit Scholarship.

“Thank you for supporting

me this year.” Kokou is an

immigrant from Ghana

and struggling to learn

English, and he might not

have attended Dunwoody

without Ron and Darlene’s

support. The Cradits are

long-time donors and

volunteers, and Ron serves

on the Alumni Association

Board of Managers. They

recently decided to include

the College in their wills

to perpetuate the Cradit

Scholarship Fund and

help more students in

the future.

Remembering Dunwoody

Bill Wieseke, ’62

Electrical, has many

fond memories of his

time at Dunwoody

College, including

being a member of

the Dunwoody

Championship

Basketball Team.

Bill has been a faithful

donor to Dunwoody’s

Annual Fund since he

graduated. He recently

decided a charitable

gift annuity would be

a good way to make a

significant and lasting

gift to Dunwoody. The

annuity will provide him

with lifetime income

and, upon his death,

the remaining balance

will be passed on to

Dunwoody College.

Implementing a Giving Plan

Garnett, ’54 General Mechanics, and Sandra Deters

recently established a charitable gift annuity that will help

Dunwoody while paying them annuity payments for the rest

of their lives. “I enrolled in General Mechanics to be able

to pick up those subjects that best served me in our family-

owned farm implement business,” remembers Garnett. “The

experience and training helped me to better understand

electrical functions, diesel and gas engine principles and the

metals of welding, blacksmith and machine shops. I spent

my entire working career (45 years) in the service shop as

a supervisor. I fondly recall the Dunwoody days and how

valuable the training was to the success of our business.” To

learn more about charitable gift annuities, please contact

Jennifer Kahlow, director of gift planning at 612-381-3061
