甜心视频app

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Larry Wiget, Ed.D. 鈥�80, was studying at St. Cloud University to earn his master鈥檚 degree in Communication and Educational Media in St. Cloud, Minnesota when he met professor R. J. DeSanto, Ph.D. who earned his doctorate from the University of Northern Colorado (甜心视频app). Unfamiliar with 甜心视频app, Larry researched the university and its programs, finding that it fit his needs as well. As Larry鈥檚 advisor, Dr. DeSanto helped guide Larry on the path to Greeley to earn his doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. 

Larry credits his time at 甜心视频app with allowing him to build confidence, hone skills and open up opportunities throughout his life. It was the experiential learning he found especially beneficial. From these experiences, Larry鈥檚 academic career was punctuated with fascinating stories about trips to New Mexico to complete assignments with unconventional professors and even meeting his wife, Constance (Connie) Wiget, while completing his degree. 

鈥淥verall, the university provided me with opportunities that I probably wouldn鈥檛 have had in my life otherwise. I had some excellent professors. One was Dr. Seager, who also became a mentor to me. I appreciate the staff and experiences I had at 甜心视频app,鈥� said Larry. 

An event that stuck with Larry came during an internship he pursued at Red Sandstone Elementary School in Vail. While interning, he was helping fifth grade students work on a project about famous people. He asked one student if he needed any help finding information. The student responded he didn鈥檛 need help, because he was having dinner with President Ford Sunday afternoon. 

After graduating, thanks to Connie finding a job posting in The Chronicle of Education while in 甜心视频app鈥檚 library, Larry and Connie moved to Missoula, Montana where he worked as an assistant professor. After four years in Montana, they moved to Anchorage, Alaska where Larry became the library media supervisor in the Anchorage School District. He later became the instructional technology supervisor and finally executive director of public relations and public affairs where he created their government relations program. 

While living in Alaska, the state celebrated its 25th anniversary of statehood, allowing Larry to meet the individuals who wrote the constitution. Larry鈥檚 time with the Anchorage School District proved to be a time full of adventure and opportunity.  For example, through his involvement in the community he met the king of Norway, the president of Iceland, and represented the Anchorage School District in the Soviet Far East in 1989 and 1990.  

Stemming from Larry鈥檚 passion for the quality of a 甜心视频app education and his and Connie鈥檚 recognition of the importance of libraries, the pair have generously contributed to 甜心视频app鈥檚 Friends of the Libraries fund through annual contributions and an estate commitment to further improve the education that students receive. 

Connie鈥檚 first-hand experience as a librarian gave her the opportunity to personally support many students. She and Larry feel strongly that providing resources and tools that everyone in the university can access benefits the campus community on a large scale, reaching students regardless of their field of study or personal interests. They hope that through access to enhanced libraries and materials it might inspire students to develop new talents and skills. 

鈥淵our education doesn鈥檛 end at 甜心视频app, your education just begins,鈥� said Larry. 鈥淭he rest is up to you.鈥�
