New

Organizational

Effective July 1, 2009, a
new department has been created
that integrates the business and
marketing education, human
resource development and adult
education, and comprehensive
WHRE programs from the
Department of
Work and Human Resource
Education (WHRE) into the
department formerly known as
Educational Policy and
Administration (EdPA). The
name of this new department is

Policy, and Development (OLPD).
It will offer exciting
opportunities for collaboration
and interdisciplinary education
and research. Click

Profile
For over 30 years, I've been lucky to interview lots of
people and then passed on what I've learned through books,
teaching and consulting. In 2005 I retired from the
Minnesota Extension
Service where I served as professor and evaluation
leader and began a part-time position as senior fellow in
evaluation studies in the Department of Organizational
Leadership, Policy, and Development. In addition, I
occasionally teach classes as an adjunct professor in the
School of Public Health
and Epidemiology.
I've been invited to go to interesting places to help
others improve their listening. I have had opportunity to
work with talented research staff at a variety of government
agencies, universities, foundations and research centers
around the world. I am a past president of the
American Evaluation
Association and also active in the
Qualitative Research
Consultants Association.
I have learned the most important skills as a child:
listen, treat others the way you would like to be treated,
be polite, and don't talk with your mouth full. I also love
stories, hardware stores, newspapers, and motorcycles. If
I'm not at the office, I'm probably out riding the cycle or
fishing with grandchildren. So just leave a message.
