A student speaker graduated with honors, less than two years after her mother, Rita Fosterling, graduated from the same River Falls Chippewa Valley Technical College nursing program.
She’s “what every teacher wants,” said Gayle Murphy, a CVTC nursing instructor who attended Chapeau’s wedding, a mark of the closeness often achieved at the small campus. One of Chapeau’s preceptors, Nichole Regan, an R.N. at St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul, called Chapeau “the best student I have ever precepted and I have precepted a lot of students.”
CVTC President Dr. Bill Ihlenfeldt added that the high regard in which Chapeau is held by her instructors is underscored by the rigor of the community nursing program in River Falls.
The River Falls campus of CVTC is supervised by Dr. Leslie Bleskachek, who presided over the 7 p.m. ceremony held at River Falls High School.
The 24 nursing graduates were joined by a dozen paramedic graduates. Instructor Steve Wolfe told the group as it came to the stage that he had seen compassion in all of the graduates and that “when you lose your compassion it’s time to get out of this business.”
Melanie Nowak and Christine Schwalen graduated with honors in administrative assistant and office assistant programs respectively. Both balanced full-time jobs and full-time families with their full-time studies.
Their instructor, Ann Kiefer, spoke of the changed role of the office and administrative assistant and how outsourcing has made these employees take on more and more management responsibility.
Degrees and diplomas were also awarded to graduates in criminal justice, medical assistant, paralegal and supervisory management programs. In all, CVTC conferred diplomas and degrees upon 54 graduates.
One graduate, Brenda May Frank, completed both nursing and supervisory management programs with honors.
On stage to assist in the commencement were CVTC Board Chair Frank Bucheger, an OEM executive in Woodville, River Falls Police Chief Roger Leque and Nursing Program Director Linda Londre. All are CVTC graduates.
The man who more than any other is responsible for the construction of CVTC River Falls, and the education it has delivered to Pierce and St. Croix counties since 1997, will not return to a River Falls commencement in his current post.
Ihlenfeldt leaves the technical college after 14 years as president and 42 years in technical education. His replacement, Bruce Barker, seated in the RFHS auditorium, will take up the considerable task of providing a trained workforce for west-central Wisconsin when he takes office Jan. 1, 2008.
