DJVC Iba / College Times Dr. Bill Dinklage takes his beginning geology students to the mouth of Rock Canyon in Provo to show how the mountains were formed. Did you know that the mountains in Rock Canyon are made up of mostly limestone and quartzite sandstone? Next time you are driving by or taking a hike take a look at the color of the rock cliffs. The gray colored rocks are Limestone and the tan ones are quartzite sandstone. Bill Sederburg is serving as the 6th president of Utah Valley State College, and has spent much of his career pursuing excellence in education. Bom in Nebraska but raised in Minnesota, Presi- dent Sederburg began j]is academic journey by obtaining his own undergraduate degree: a bachelors from Mankato State University in Minnesota and a masters and doctorate, both in political science, from Michigan State University. He made Michigan his home for over 20 years, serving in the state Senate and in various education capacities. As a Michigan state senator, President Sederburg tackled education issues with various state initiatives, and involved academic administrators in dialogues on statewide economic, employment and technological issues. He served as chair of the Midwest Higher Education Commission, where he worked to increase educational opportunities in the Midwestern states. President Sederburg taught and lectured at several colleges throughout Michigan, and in 1994 he became the 16th president of Ferris State University in Big Rapids. Under Sederburg's leadership, Ferris State experienced a renaissance transformation within a short duration, an experience that made Sederburg an excellent choice to lead UVSC, where he took over the presidency in June 2003. During his time at UVSC, President Sederburg's dynamic leadership has fostered many positive moves forward, most recently the approval of the colleges transition to Utah Valley University. He has also accomplished administrative reorganization, and instituted a planning, budget, and accountability process, including a comprehensive strategic-directions planning program. He has created a National Advisory Board and Community Relations Board, and received funding for the recently constructed baseball field and the currently under construction state-of-the-art library. He has met with community, education, and political leaders to promote UVSC and forward his ideas for economic development, community engagement, and university. Dr. Sederburg and his wife, Joyce, a school psychologist, have two grown children, Matthew and Kari. Devotionals are held Fridays at noon in the institute building. Speaking at a devotional for the Institute will be nothing new for President Bill Sederburg, who once served as a senator for Michigan and recently won an award for "Communicator of the Year."

As Dr. Dinklage said, the smart geologist doesn't need to hike to the top of the mountain to sompfe the rocks. You can find almost any rock from the canyon in the riverbed because the river brings them to the bottom though time. UVSC Your Collage Your Needs.
