Studio One Hall of Fame The program has been successful because of the help of entrepreneurial and committed people with a vision of making Studio One a place for student success. A few inductees into the “Studio One Hall of Fame” have made strong contributions to the program:
Tom Beuhring Beuhring was a student at UND in the mid-1980s and was pursuing a career in broadcasting. He noticed there was no broadcasting opportunities on campus, so he wrote a proposal for the production of a news/information program run by students. He knew that students could make a high quality program and his idea was made a reality. After graduating, he was hired by Studio One as the Executive Director. He was able to establish many of the working relationships still used by the program today, the most important one being CNN. Interns are
able to access stories, clips and movie notes through CNN’s archive.
Thomas Clifford
Clifford was the President of UND in the mid-1980s when the idea of Studio One was created. A meeting was set up with him and the program proposal
was pitched during the meeting. After hearing the idea, he came to an immediate decision and told everyone, “I’m in!” Clifford was an advocate of projects that were different yet beneficial, such as television production. He had confidence in the program, so he helped the program find funding and allowed Studio One to take up residence in the basement of Robertson Hall.
Bruce Gjovig Gjovig is the founder of the UND Center for Innovation, which was created to help entrepreneurs produce a business plan and make connections while they are growing. In the mid-1990s, Gjovig wrote the grant for the Skalicky Tech Incubator and allowed members of the Studio One staff have a hands-on approach in the planning. Due to this involvement, the TV Center staff was able to help design a portion of the
building to meet the needs of a television studio. The building has soundproof rooms in the editing bays, as well as an intricate air duct system that keeps those rooms quiet for recording voices during editing.
