Bemidji State political science professor Dr. Tom Beech knows well the financial challenges many students face.<\/p>\n
He has responded by endowing a scholarship that, beginning next fall, will go to one or more students majoring in political science. He recently signed a second endowment agreement, which he anticipates will be awarded to an international student or students.<\/p>\n
Beech, who has taught at BSU since 1999, is passionate about the role of faculty and staff in helping students succeed.<\/p>\n
“Every person who comes in contact with a student makes a difference to their experience,” he said, “from the staff in administration and the residence halls to maintenance and food service staff.”<\/p>\n
Finally, Beech said, he simply loves being part of Bemidji State.<\/p>\n
“I feel very fortunate to have a job I love at a place of which I am proud,” he said, “with students, faculty and staff that I greatly respect and enjoy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
