Josh Dozak

Josh Dozak grew up in Wahpeton, graduating in 2000 from Wahpeton High School. He attended NDSCS, graduating in 2002 in Pre-Pharmacy. Josh then attended North Dakota State University, receiving his bachelor’s degree and Doctor of Pharmacy. Josh currently owns and operates Wheaton Drug and Gift, providing professional pharmacy services to the community.

Josh has exemplified outstanding leadership, character, and humility at a young age. Before the age of 40 he understood the significance of education and opportunities that NDSCS, a 2-year program, can provide. Josh and wife Tracy (a Nurse Practitioner) started the Josh and Tracy Scholarship Endowment in 2015, impacting dozens of lives by providing scholarship opportunities for students studying nursing or pharmacy, “hoping to encourage students to stay in the community.” 

Josh’s biggest philanthropic contributions are not only through monetary giving but by attending and participating in many DREAMS Auction events. He has given his time and volunteerism to the Alumni Foundation Board, serving as both Vice President and President.  Josh lives a life that exemplifies NDSCS L.I.F.E. Values – Learning: Engage the campus community in a lifelong learning environment inside and outside the classroom. Integrity: Work with others and conduct ourselves in a respectful, ethical, honest, and trusting manner. Flexibility: Consider ideas from all sources and adapt to the needs of our patrons. Excellence: Deliver superior programs and services that distinguish the college from its peers.

Josh and Tracy have two young boys, Gabe and Michael. They love spending time at their home on Big Stone Lake in Minnesota. 

The NDSCS Foundation is honored to celebrate Josh as the first Young Alumnus Award for the NDSCS Alumni Foundation.
