Northland College, in short, is why my professional life was so rewarding. The best decision I made in the spring of 1969 was to attend Northland College. That decision afforded me the chance to become a successful educator, both in the classroom and as an administrator. Without the professors and fellow students, I firmly believe I would not have enjoyed such a successful career. I always tell people, you enter Northland as a student, but leave as a member of a wonderful, caring family.
