Welcome back, Dr. Hedge
Dennis Hedge had a fresh beginning in the new year as he moved from acting dean to the official position of Dean of the College of Pharmacy at SDSU. “We have a great tradition of academic excellence associated with our pharmacy degree program, and maintaining that excellence will always be a priority,” said Hedge.
First annual research symposium held
SDSU, in partnership with Avera Health, held the first annual Research Symposium in Brookings on Jan. 13. The event was organized by the Avera – SDSU Health Sciences Advisory Board. “I believe the symposium laid the foundation for several collaborative projects between Avera Health and South Dakota State University that can enhance healthcare education and improve the health of citizens in the region,” said Dean Dennis Hedge of the College of Pharmacy.
Student Housing: Making the right decision
Living on campus is a key element in the college experience, but sooner or later the time comes when students need to begin the search for off campus housing. “I feel that it is easier to move off campus at semester time, instead of at the end of the year,” said Molly Paterson who is a sophomore dairy science manufacturing student at SDSU.
Celebrating the future
A celebration was held on Oct. 17 for the dedication and ribbon cutting of The Wellness Center. “Today is a very momentous day,” said Alex Halbach, the 2006-2007 Students’ Association president who helped develop the building plans and worked closely with SDSU administration and faculty.
Production mixes comedy, innuendo
“The Philadelphia Story is a wonderful look in the lives of the rich and fabulous during a time in our nation’s history when being rich was the fun thing to do.” said Geoffrey Nixon, a senior theater and speech education major. The timeless tale of love found, and love befuddled comes to SDSU Oct.
Campus recycling efforts increasing
Going green has been a trend this past year, but SDSU is taking that trend and making it a way of life. “Prior to April, recycling of paper and similar products was done strictly in offices, and there was no recycling offered to the public,” said Jane Hegland, acting dean of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences and department head of Design, Merchandising and Consumer Sciences.
A homecoming dynasty
SDSU would not be the same without the Hobo Day traditions, but this year marks a first in Hobo Day history with the Grand Pooba stick being handed from one sister to another. 2008 Grand Pooba Bethany Wuttke, a senior human development and family studies major, followed in the footsteps of her sister, Kelsey, who reigned over last year’s Hobo Day.
