| Groseth
named MSU vice president for intercampus affairs
|
| Rolf
Groseth, who has coordinated the four campuses of
the Montana State University system for 10 years,
has been promoted to the newly created position
of vice president for inter-campus affairs with
increased responsibility for coordinating MSU campuses
in Billings, Great Falls, Havre as well as Bozeman,
according to MSU President Geoff Gamble. |
| "The
nature of Rolf's position and the responsibilities
he has taken on require him to work at the vice
presidential level," said President Gamble.
"We look forward to the contributions that
he will continue to make to MSU and the state." |
|
|
| "It
continues to be a privilege for me to serve MSU in this capacity.
I am very pleased that President Gamble has recognized the importance
of my work in coordinating MSU's four campuses," Groseth
said. |
| Groseth
said this is a clear time of transition for the four-campus
university. The campuses were merged 10 years ago, sharing a
logo and a tagline, which Groseth said "was an important
announcement in the restructuring of the university system."
Groseth said his mission will be to help the four campuses operate
as a four-unit university, while retaining and marketing the
distinctive programmatic nature that makes each so important
to Montana. |
| Groseth
has worked his way up the ranks of MSU administrators. A native
of suburban Chicago, Groseth received his bachelor's degree
in political science from Michigan State University in 1969,
where he was also an All-American in swimming. He earned his
master's degree in higher education and student personnel from
Iowa State University and his doctorate in higher education
administration from the University of Florida. Groseth also
served two years in the U.S. Army, including a 12-month tour
of duty in Vietnam. |

Groseth
came to MSU in 1977 as the director of Student Activities
after serving as the director of a residence hall at Georgetown
University and an assistant dean for student services at the
University of Florida. While at MSU, Groseth also served as
dean of students and vice provost. He has been the executive
assistant to the president, and the MSU System coordinator,
since 1994.

| Groseth
is married to Jaynee Drange Groseth, executive director of the
MSU Alumni Association. They have two sons, Peder and Anders.
