Nick Plank
Instructional Technologist
As a Learning Technologies Specialist, Nick helps faculty and students find and use technology solutions to facilitate the learning environment at St. Norbert. When he graduated from St. Norbert in 2014 (BA English), Nick worked as an IT professional at a large printing company in the Milwaukee area for 6 years. Nick thinks it’s interesting how different organizations can leverage similar technologies to meet similar goals. St. Norbert and a massive printing company couldn’t be much more different, but the technology that drives both organizations has so many similarities. Working with people who have countless years more experience than him, he was able to learn from them and build upon the foundation they built. Nick can’t wait to learn from his colleagues at St. Norbert, and build on the sturdy foundation that exists here. Outside of work, you might find Nick at a disc golf course in Oconto Falls High School, or one of the many wonderful courses in Green Bay. Nick sings in the Dudley Birder Chorale at St. Norbert, and plays trombone with jazz and blues groups. Since moving into his house and building a deck, Nick finds it difficult to not want to cook on his 22” Weber every night for dinner.
