University in Big Rapids, Michigan. After eight years as president and

  Throughout his career and efforts, Dr. Sederburg has positively 
affected the lives of thousands of students. He is seen as a leader by 
his peers, as well as an educator and trusted advisor to his students. 
Dr. Sederburg has worked tirelessly to improve the facilities and 
infrastructure on the Ferris State campus, and his dedication is an 
example to everyone.
  I am honored today to recognize Dr. William A. Sederburg for his many 
complishments, and thank him for his work.
