CONNECTIONS
ANNUAL PRESIDENT’S RUN RAISES SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS Forty-three motorcycle and car enthusiasts joined BSC Executive Vice President Dave Clark on Friday, July 10, for the 2015 President’s Run. Participants rode to Beulah Bay for lunch, followed by a tour of the Coteau Freedom Mine northwest of Beulah, N.D. Following the tour, ice cream treats were provided at The Union Bank of Beulah. This year’s event raised nearly $9,000 for the Paul R. Swanson Scholarship Endowment Fund. The scholarship was established to recognize Paul Swanson for more than 30 years of service at Bismarck Junior College/Bismarck State College. Swanson served as the mathematics and engineering department chair and was well known as an outstanding mathematics instructor
and student-athlete mentor. Thousands of students took at least one math course from Swanson during their time at BJC/BSC. Swanson devoted his life to the teaching and coaching of young people. Colleagues, friends and former students established this academic excellence scholarship with the BSC Foundation in Paul’s name in 2014-15. Contributions to the Paul R. Swanson Scholarship Endowment Fund are tax deductible and may be eligible for a North Dakota state 40-percent tax credit (please consult your tax advisor). In addition, all donations made to Swanson’s scholarship are eligible for a 50-percent match from the state, making gifts even more significant. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The evening included a social, hors d’oeuvres and a program honoring Swanson. At the event Swanson was bestowed the rank of Professor Emeritus at Bismarck State College. He is one of only three retired faculty to receive this designation. The designation is the highest honor awarded to retired faculty. It recognizes exemplary academic leadership and service to BSC and surrounding communities.
