Young Alumni

In 1964, Diane Odegard, ’86, moved into one of the infamous hutments on the University of North Dakota campus with her husband, John, ’66, ’67. Little did they know that it would be the start of a lifelong relationship with the state’s flagship university.

With Diane’s support and encouragement, John would go on to found the world-renowned aerospace program at UND that now bears his name. While Diane was always a part of the effort, she says his passion became hers when he died in 1998 after a battle with cancer. “His work and his enthusiasm just spilled over into me,” she says. “And I had these wonderful opportunities to work with the dean, the faculty and the Aerospace Board to do anything I could do to help the school.”

One of the rewarding outcomes of that relationship was the three-year effort to publish “Flight of the Odegard.” The book, from author Patrick A. McGuire, is a comprehensive history of the struggle to establish the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. “It’s an inspirational UND story, and a proud accomplishment for all of us who were involved,” Diane says.

Diane’s passion for UND has extended to other areas of campus as well. She recently helped complete the fundraising to establish the Delta Gamma Foundation/Everson Family Lectureship in Values and Ethics, a program that will bring nationally prominent speakers to campus. She also spent nine years on the board of the UND Alumni Association and UND Foundation. “It was really a great UND experience,” Diane says. “It brought me into contact with extremely talented and successful board members, people who are dedicated to seeing UND and its students succeed at the highest levels.”

Diane got her bachelor’s degree in French and Speech from Milwaukee-Downer Women’s College (now Lawrence University) in 1964 and earned her master’s degree in Education from

UND in 1986. She was the first youth director at Grand Forks Air Force Base and then spent 25 years in the Grand Forks Public Schools teaching English, Speech and French. She was a founding member and served as president of The Grand Forks Foundation for Education, has sat on the board of the Community Foundation of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks & Region and currently serves on the Red River Valley Research Corridor board. She has also served as senior warden at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

Diane says when she was told she’d been selected to receive the Sioux Award, her first thought was of John. “I have been fortunate to be able to promote his legacy since his death. I was fortunate to be by his side as everything was starting and growing, to be part of that excitement. To be his wife, it was just a great ride. I feel honored that I will have another opportunity to highlight aerospace and the entire university.”

Diane and John’s two children, John Jr., ‘89, and Stephanie, ‘91, are also graduates of UND.

Dr. Robert Nordlie, ’57, ’60, dedicated 38 years of his career to the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at UND.

From 1962 to 2000, he served as a professor in the School, acting as chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from 1983 to 2000. Much of Nordlie’s research focused on metabolic enzymes and the maintenance of blood glucose levels, and he held research grants from the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, American Diabetes Association, North Dakota Chapter of the American Heart Association and The Smith, Kline, & French Foundation.

Before coming to UND, Nordlie earned his bachelor’s degree from St. Cloud State University in 1952, and was named a Distinguished Alumnus in 1982. He came to UND in 1962 as the UND School of Medicine’s first James J. Hill Research Professor. In 1968, he was presented the Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching, and in the same year was honored with the Faculty Award for Excellence in Research. He received the Chester Fritz Distinguished Professorship in 1974, the UND Edgar Dale Award for Outstanding Teaching in 1983, and was honored with many more teaching and research awards through the years.

Nordlie, a New London, Minn., native, speaks fondly of his visiting professorships in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, Japan; and in Lima, Peru. “I once calculated I’ve been in 27 countries,” he said. He has spoken to the Federation of European Biochemical Societies in Oxford, England and Oslo, Norway. “I still get goose bumps when I think of that one,” he said.

He has published more than 130 papers and was a member of 16 professional and scientific organizations. In 2000, past students and colleagues set up the Robert C. Nordlie Lectureship Series in his honor.

Now that he has some spare time, Nordlie spends his days woodworking. He has built three boats, among other things. “When you’re a biochemist, you’re filled with ideas. Then you go home and deal with real things that you can put your hands on.”

Nordlie’s family boasts eight degrees from UND. “We have a lot to be thankful for,” he said. He lives in Grand Forks with his wife, Sally, ’54. Daughter Margaret (Gibson), ’82, ’91, lives with her husband, Allen, in Bismarck. His other children, Melissa, ’92; and John, ’90, ’92, live in Grand Forks.

DR. ROBERT NORDLIE

Norm Hoffman, ’59, will never forget the “manna from heaven” that allowed him to fully concentrate on graduating from UND with a degree in Chemical Engineering. On a trip to find a job in Grand Forks before his senior year began, he stopped by the Engineering department to visit with Professor A.M. Cooley. Cooley pulled an envelope from his desk that held a note saying Hoffman was to receive a $1,000 fellowship for the upcoming school year. “I couldn’t believe it,” Hoffman says. “I said, ‘You don’t give a C student something like that,’ but he said ‘Yes, we do.’”

Hoffman has repaid that kindness many times over. In 2008, he and his wife, Ann, donated $2 million to establish the Ann and Norman Hoffman Chair in National Defense/Energetics. “I always felt that if I was able to, I would give back,” Hoffman said. “I didn’t think I would be this able to.”

After graduating from UND, the Mandan, N.D., native spent several years in California working for a company that built explosive components for seat ejection systems and parachute deployment. In 1964, he came back to the Midwest to start his own company, Technical Ordnance, Inc., which specialized in detonators and initiators used in rockets and various military safety systems. “It was a gamble,” Hoffman said. “But it worked out. We were small, but we grew.”

Hoffman guided his company with a simple challenge to his engineers. “I would say, ‘Don’t tell me you don’t think something will work. Try it. If it didn’t work, you still learned something in the process.’”

Because his staff worked with explosive materials, Hoffman always kept safety in mind and looked to automation to keep workers away from danger. The side benefit of that push for safety was that Technical Ordnance’s products were highly reliable. “It’s one of the reasons we were successful,” he said.

After more than 40 years of running the company, Hoffman sold it in 2006 and retired. In addition to strong support to UND, the Hoffmans have given generously to Ridgeview Medical Center in their hometown of Waconia, Minn. Norm was on the hospital’s board of directors for 11 years and served as chair for two years.

Even after the initial success of Marco, Marsden wasn’t done honing his entrepreneurial skills. In 1977, he was awarded a Bush summer fellowship to attend the Stanford Executive Program for Small Companies. Ten years later, Marsden decided it was time to maximize his management potential, and in 1989 he completed his Master of Business Administration from the University of St. Thomas.

In 2001, Gary received the Minnesota Entrepreneurial Success Award from the US Small Business Administration, and he earned the St. Cloud Area Chamber Award in 2000. He’s also been involved in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Program, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota, United Way, St. John’s Prep School Board of Advisors, CenterCare Health System Board and St. Cloud Hospital Board. He has served as president of a local Rotary club, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce chairman, St. Cloud Convention and Visitors Bureau chairman, and he helped start the St. Cloud Angel Investment RAIN Fund at the Chamber of Commerce.

“I’ve always lived under this belief that if you do well, you must do good. I think you must recognize the fact that it is the community that allows you to do well. Therefore, you ought to reciprocate and do well within the community,” Marsden said.

Marsden is also a past member of the UND Foundation Board, and currently serves on the National Campaign Steering Committee for North Dakota Spirit | The Campaign for UND. To him, North Dakota Spirit “speaks to a number of things. It speaks to independence, the can-do attitude that is prevalent here, and the work ethic of the people here,” he said.

Marsden lives in Clear Lake, Minn., with his wife, Jane, ’64. His son, Steve, ’89, lives in Maple Grove, Minn., with wife, Cindy, and sons, Matt and Mike. Gary’s daughter, Jennifer, lives in Sydney, Australia, with her husband, Paul, and daughter, Harper.

Gary Marsden, ’63, is a businessman, community leader and self-described “education junkie.”

After graduation from UND, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, the Hillsboro, N.D., native worked for IBM after a brief stint in the United States Air Force and the North Dakota Air Guard. But in 1973, Marsden decided it was time to branch out.

So, he bought a little company called the Typewriter Shop. The then-12-person office products store in St. Cloud, Minn., is now Marco, Inc., a 450-employee-owned office technology company in 21 locations.

In 2004, Marco was named a Top 25 Best Companies to Work For in America. “That kind of success as a company is a product of committed employees and satisfied customers,” Marsden said.

John Kutch, ’93, says that to him, health care is not a job; it’s simply a “calling” that he’s responded to.

Kutch is the President and CEO of Trinity Health in Minot, where he has successfully recruited more than 70 physicians to the region. Kutch began his career at Parkland Health & Hospital System (Dallas, Texas) in 1996 as an administrative resident and has held progressive administrative roles since then. At just 39, he’s already seen nearly 20 years in health care, and landed his first CEO job at Mobridge (S.D.) Regional Hospital in 1999, when he was just 26.

“A lot of times I get asked by folks, ‘How have you done it?’ My response is that it’s not really ‘how,’ but ‘what’ have you done. The first step in any process is education,” he said. “My education has really been the first and lasting step in my career and career development. I owe the University of North Dakota a great deal for what it gave me.”

The Bemidji native graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from UND, then went on to obtain a master’s degree in Health Services Administration from Xavier University (Cincinnati, Ohio).Kutch is a member of several professional and civic organizations and serves on the boards of Trinity Health, VHA Upper Midwest, Minot Area Development Corporation, Mountrail County Medical Center, St. Andrews Clinic, the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences Advisory Board representing the west region and various advisory boards for the Greater Minot Area.

“I want to give back to the industry, and if I can give back by working with the new era of health professionals, that’s what I’ll do,” he said.

Kutch and his wife, Nicole, ’95, live in Minot with their children, Will and Grace. “There’s no better place to raise a family than North Dakota,” he said.

It didn’t take long for Amanda Bentow, ’04, ’06, to establish herself as a leader in the University of North Dakota and Grand Forks communities.

In April, the 30-year-old became the first Community Relations Officer for the University of North Dakota. She develops relationships and seeks partnerships between the University and the broader Grand Forks region community. “I feel like the role is a culmination of all the things I’ve been involved with until this point,” she said.

Bentow has held various positions at UND, including Director for Operations of UND’s Health and Wellness Unit and Associate Director for Strategic Development at the UND Wellness Center. Within the Grand Forks community, she’s president of the Greater Grand Forks Young Professionals; a member of the Steering Committee for the Community Visioning project through The Chamber’s Business, Government and Education Alliance; a board member on the Altru Foundation Board of Directors, and has been heavily involved on the steering committee for the Launch Grand Forks Initiative.

Her proactive community involvement earned her a spot on Prairie Business Magazine’s prestigious “40 Under 40” list in 2010, but the humble Bentow deflects the credit to those around her. “I’ve really just been involved with some great projects,” she said. “People have personally taken time and invested in me. It’s helped me to learn and be a successful part of the projects I’m involved in.”

Bentow’s community involvement started when she was a UND student, where she served as Student Body Vice President in 2003-04. She was named the Memorial Union’s Outstanding Chapter Advisor (2006)

AMANDA BENTOW

and the UND Multicultural Student Services Martin Luther King Jr. Award-winner (2004). “UND is really the place where I’ve kind of grown up,” she said. “I say that I’m from Fargo, but I grew up at UND.”

Bentow lives with her husband, Bret, ’03, and their 1-year-old son, Aiden, in Grand Forks.
