Dorn resigns from MSU
Ron Dorn has resigned as vice president for administration and finance at Minot State University, effective July 1, 2010.
"We've been fortunate at Minot State to have had Ron at the helm of our administration and finance since 2005," MSU president David Fuller said in a press release. "His innovative approaches to financing, running a tight level of control as well as accountability and his dedication to his staff and the needs of the university will stand as highlights of his tenure at Minot State."
Dorn started as vice president at Minot State in July 2005. He says his time at the university has been highlighted by the great people he has worked with these past years.
"I have only complimentary things to say of the people I've worked with at the university," Dorn said. "I also enjoyed the fact that, looking back, I can say that I've reached most of the goals set for the administration and finance side of MSU."
Through work done by Dorn and his staff over two years the groundwork for Grow North Dakota was set. Grow North Dakota is a program designed to increase Minot State's visibility and allow it to be more competitive throughout the region and world. By offering in-state tuition for all students, the university will best be able to serve all its students for years to come.
Dorn came to Minot State with a great deal of experience in the field of higher education finance. He worked in a variety of administrative positions in the states of Montana, Illinois, Colorado, Kansas, Maine and Idaho. Dorn plans to retire where he feels most comfortable, the Intermountain West, where he hopes to spend more time with his wife, children and grandchildren.
Fuller said a search for a new vice president for administration and finance will begin immediately, with the hope of the position being filled during the summer.
