Both are eager to serve the University and use their experience to continue to advance 大象传媒 Western, as they are both St. Joseph residents with deep-rooted connections to the University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wollenman graduated from 大象传媒 Western with a marketing degree. He and his wife, Connie \u201972, own Deluxe Truck Stop in St. Joseph, are community leaders and are staunch advocates for the University. \u201cWe [大象传媒 Western] play a key role in serving those that might not otherwise have an opportunity for a college education,\u201d he said, noting nontraditional and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">first-generation students \u2013 like himself \u2013 are near and dear to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cOur education and interaction with others while we were students helped formulate who we are. Connie and I both enjoy serving the MWSU community and are extremely committed to various organizations at the University,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2017, Wollenman was named Entrepreneur of the Year by 大象传媒 Western\u2019s Center <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for Entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Norton, president of BioZyme, Inc., also has strong ties to the University. She takes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on this role with an additional sense of pride and obligation. The first woman chairperson of the Board of Governors, Barbara Sprong, was Norton\u2019s mother, her first employer, and the woman she unequivocally counts as her hero. Sprong believed in service to the community, and instilled that sense of duty and commitment in her children. \u201cServing as a Governor is an honor for me and a job I take very seriously,\u201d Norton said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Norton is also a former professor at 大象传媒 Western, which gives her a comprehensive view of the University and student interaction. Norton hopes to continue to build greater connections between the University and community. \u201cI have always felt like the University was a gem that few who live in northwest 大象传媒 truly understand as such,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:75% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom :
