Colonel (Ret.) Alan Wondrasek embodies this spirit through his dedication to Dakota College, his service to veterans, and his leadership within the Bottineau community.<\/p><p>A proud alumnus of the North Dakota School of Forestry, Class of 1969, Alan has been a longtime supporter of DCB and the DCB Logrollers. He played an integral role in the recent Old Main renovation project\u2014literally working inside the building with his own hands to help make the upgrade a reality. Alan devoted countless hours to the project, driven by his passion for supporting the facility\u2019s transformation to serve the DCB nursing program and rural health initiatives. He visited the building weekly to track its progress, sponsored a room, and purchased multiple tiles inside the facility. His commitment to the success of the college and its students has made him a true friend of the DCB family.<\/p><p><br \/>Alan\u2019s service extends far beyond the campus. A retired U.S. Army Colonel, he currently serves as the Director of Bottineau County Veterans Inc., where he was instrumental in relocating and upgrading the Veterans Memorial Hall. He also designed more than 100 aluminum can collection sites across the area, a program that has recycled over six million cans to help sustain the Veterans Hall\u2014a project that continues to benefit the entire community.<\/p><p>In addition to his veterans\u2019 work, Alan remains active in supporting civic and youth programs, including Boys and Girls State and local American Legion baseball. His leadership, generosity, and unwavering enthusiasm for both his community and Dakota College at Bottineau exemplify the values of service, dedication, and pride that this award honors.<\/p><p>Alan and his wife, Barbara, make their home at Lake Metigoshe, where they continue to give back and make a lasting difference for future generations. They have four children, Julie Wondrasek, Jason Wondrasek, Scott Wondrasek, and Robyn Spaeth. They are also blessed with 12 grandchildren.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-131991c\" data-id=\"131991c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b6180e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0b6180e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-7956\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-230x230.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.dakotacollege.edu\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Brain-Kalk-head-shot.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Brian Kalk- Golden Service<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-004af70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-lightbox\" data-id=\"004af70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-lightbox.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div data-lightbox-type=\"lightbox_type_content\" data-lightbox-type-url=\"\" data-lightbox-trigger-pageload=\"1\" data-lightbox-closebtn-color=\"#ffffff\" class=\"eael-lightbox-wrapper\" data-trigger=\"eael_lightbox_trigger_button\" data-lightbox-id=\"lightbox_69d44075d164f\" data-type=\"inline\" data-src=\"#eael-lightbox-window-69d44075d164f\" data-popup-layout=\"eael-lightbox-popup-standard\" data-main-class=\"eael-lightbox-modal-popup-004af70\" data-close_button=\"yes\" data-esc_exit=\"yes\" data-click_exit=\"yes\" data-effect=\"animated \" data-trigger-element=\".eael-modal-popup-link-69d44075d164f\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"btn-eael-lightbox-69d44075d164f\" class=\"eael-modal-popup-button eael-modal-popup-link eael-modal-popup-link-69d44075d164f elementor-button elementor-size-md\" tabindex=\"0\">Read story<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div><!-- close .eael-lightbox-btn -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-popup-window eael-lightbox-popup-window-004af70 lightbox_type_content\" id=\"eael-lightbox-window-69d44075d164f\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"eael-lightbox-title\">Brian Kalk -

Brian Kalk\u2019s remarkable career exemplifies the purpose of this award.<\/p><p>A Bottineau native, Brian grew up hunting and fishing with his family, developing an early appreciation for North Dakota\u2019s natural resources. His father\u2019s 40-year career with North Central Electric also influenced stewardship. He began his higher education journey at NDSU-Bottineau Branch\u2014now Dakota College at Bottineau\u2014on a hockey scholarship that set the foundation for his future success.<\/p><p>After his freshman year, Brian\u2019s desire to see the world led him to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he began a distinguished 21-year military career that took him to 48 countries. His service strengthened his dedication to energy security and natural resource preservation. While in the Marines, Brian earned a degree in Political Science from Campbell University, completed Officer School in Quantico, Virginia, and later received a Master&#8217;s in Environmental Engineering from North Dakota State University. He served as Environmental Officer at Camp Pendleton, California, and later as the Officer in Charge of the Military Entrance Processing Station in Fargo, North Dakota. During this time, he also completed a Ph.D. in Natural Resources Management from NDSU\u2014an impressive achievement while still on active duty.<\/p><p>Following his retirement from the Marines, Brian continued his commitment to public service and education as a professor at NDSU, teaching Environmental Policy and Natural Resources courses. His leadership and expertise led him to serve eight years as a North Dakota Public Service Commissioner before joining the University of North Dakota\u2019s Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) as Director. He later served as Executive Director of the NDSU Research and Technology Park before returning to the EERC, where he currently serves as Chief Research Officer, developing innovative solutions to today\u2019s critical energy challenges. Brian remains a proud supporter of Dakota College at Bottineau, frequently attending Evergreen and giving back to the institution where his journey began. He and his wife of more than 33 years, Karen, have one daughter, Jordan.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
