Brian Fedje:  

for student body president one year but lost. After getting so involved in college, it made me wish I had done more in high school. The activities really enhanced my education and made me much more marketable coming out of school. That was especially important because I realized during my 4th year that I did not want to be an architect. I used the different skills I developed as a student leader and have turned them into a very good career. I enjoy keeping in touch with my college classmates and following all the activities at NDSU. I'm especially excited about NDSU going to Division I because they have joined conferences with teams in Indiana. I'll get to the see the basketball teams in downtown Indy every year at IUPUI! I also completed my MBA in 2007. I attended Anderson University, a small private school north of Indy. They have a good program that fit my schedule and had a Christian focus. I am glad to be done though! Workplace I've been very blessed with an excellent career. My first real job was working for my fraternity headequarters. I was able to travel the entire country (80 campuses and 41 states) visiting undergraduate chapters and doing chapter reviews, training, and leadership development. I spent about 18 months in a couple unsuccessful sales jobs before landing at EDS as a programmer and project manager. I got to work with clients such as Saturn, Allison Transmission and Dow Chemical. In May 2004, I changed jobs (and to some extent careers) when I started with the Carrier Corporation. I started as a content manager for web site used by our distributors and dealers for marketing and product info. I have received a couple of promotions and now manage the eBusiness organization for one of our divisions. It's a challenging yet exciting opportunity. I also hope to continue rising in the ranks as a football official. I've been doing high school football since 2001 and hope to start doing some college football in the next couple years.
