Did you know the University of South Dakota houses the second largest collection of oral histories in North America? I didn’t until I began my internship working at this amazing place on campus, and I couldn’t be happier to have found it!

I hope everyone has had a fantastic first few weeks of school! While it has been a busy start of the year, I couldn’t be more excited for what we have in store. The Student Government Association of USD has been hard at work to make sure this coming year is the best one yet. […]
