Judy Ring Xcel Energy Eau Claire, Wisconsin BAS in Energy Management Spring 2009 
Judy Ring, an employee of Xcel Energy in Eau Claire, Wis. was among the first six students to receive BSC's bachelor of applied science (BAS) degree in energy management in May 2009.Ring said employer support and the fact that the BAS program is offered online made it possible for her to complete their degree while continuing to work. Ring is an associate in Service Policy, reviewing statutes of Wisconsin and Michigan, and how they apply to Xcel's services in their service territories. This is a new position for her, leading towards management, and one for which Ring could not have applied without a four-year degree. She spent 25 years in radio, but decided to seek a different profession and more education. "I really enjoyed the online learning - it was fantastic for someone like me," said Ring. "Some semesters I took a lot of classes. That was possible because of the flexibility of my bosses." Xcel paid 80 percent of Ring's tuition costs. "They really support Bismarck State College, and especially in the utilities group. They want employees to prepare for management positions where people will be retiring," she said. |
