North Dakota State College of Science recently promoted Jane Vangsness Frisch to Vice President for the newly created Student Affairs division. This new division will support students during their entire college experience – from recruitment and enrollment to career guidance and graduation – by enhancing student learning and personal development through a variety of student services.

Vangsness Frisch, originally from Okabena, Minn., graduated from North Dakota State University (NDSU) with a bachelor’s degree in both mass communication with an emphasis in public relations and health education. She also earned a master’s degree in mass communication and is currently pursuing a Ph.D in education with an emphasis in institutional analysis, both from NDSU.

Vangsness Frisch joined NDSCS in 2013 as Director of Student Success and Career Services. In 2014 she was named Associate Vice President for Student Success. Prior to her time at the College, Vangsness Frisch worked for the North Dakota University System. 

Vangsness Frisch and her husband, Tom, reside in Dumont, Minn.

Spring semester enrollment at the North Dakota State College of Science is 2,951 according to the official census, which is taken on the 20th instructional day of classes each semester. This is the highest spring semester enrollment on record since 1983 and a 7 percent increase over spring 2015.

During the past five years, NDSCS spring enrollment has steadily grown. The number of credits students are enrolled in is also up from 2015 to 30,673 which is the highest since spring 2012. Thanks to persistent recruiting, focused student success initiatives and marketing efforts, the College continues to see remarkable growth at both the Wahpeton campus and NDSCS-Fargo location as well.

“The demand for our graduates remains very high which is supported by our 99 percent placement rating,” said NDSCS President John Richman. “Our faculty and staff work diligently to help our students succeed through focused retention and student success efforts while our industry partners contribute to a win-win educational experience.”

There are 1,508 full time students and 1,443 part time students, with just more than 45 percent of students residing on-campus at NDSCS in Wahpeton.

Additionally, 71.7 percent of NDSCS students are from North Dakota from 49 counties, while 21.4 percent of students are from Minnesota, 2.5 percent are from South Dakota and 1.1 percent are from Montana.

The NDSCS Allied Dental Education Clinic will be participating in the annual American Dental Association’s Give Kids a Smile® Day on February 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Mayme Green Allied Health Center at NDSCS in Wahpeton, N.D.

All patients must have appointments in advance. A parent or legal guardian must accompany patients younger than 18 years. To schedule an appointment, please contact the NDSCS Allied Dental Education Clinic at 1-800-342-4325 ext. 3-2333 or 701-671-2333.

This nationwide event designates a day of free dental care for children who may have difficulty accessing dental care or families with limited financial resources. The clinic will be providing dental care to individuals ranging in age from three to 18.

Services provided may include basic restorative procedures, simple extractions and patient exams. NDSCS Allied Dental students will perform cleanings, radiographs, sealants, fluoride applications and oral health education. Approximately $13,000 worth of donated services was provided to local children in 2015 with the help of volunteers, local and regional dentists, hygienists, assistants and the NDSCS Allied Dental Education Department staff and students.

“This year, we are excited to work with Dr. Brent Holman and Dr. Carl Trout – pediatric dentists from Fargo, N.D. who have provided many children with dental care in past dental mission work,” said NDSCS Give Kids a Smile Program Coordinator Chanel Malone. “We are fortunate to receive support and/or contributions from the North Dakota Dental Foundation, the American Dental Association, and local and regional dental community volunteers.”

North Dakota State College of Science students Taylor Heinz and Jessica Mastel, both from Wahpeton, N.D., were recently selected to serve as the College’s representatives on the North Dakota Community College Academic All-State Team.

“Taylor and Jessica are outstanding examples of academic achievement and community involvement,” said NDSCS President Dr. John Richman. “Being named to the North Dakota Community College Academic All-State Team is a significant accomplishment, and we’re very proud of them.”

Nominees are selected through the Phi Theta Kappa All-USA and Coca-Cola Community College Scholarship application process. Nominations are also based on academic success, community and campus involvement and leadership, and an application essay. 

Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society, and the academic team recognition program is active in 37 states. All-State nominees will also be considered for nomination to the All-USA Academic Team.
