The South Dakota Board of Regents recognized three Dakota State University (DSU) student organizations for outstanding academic, community, and organizational work. The Board acknowledges and awards student groups from all six South Dakota public universities throughout the year.
The DSU Award for Academic Excellence was presented to Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Business Club. Phi Beta Lambda aims to combine business and education into a positive relationship by using innovative leadership and career development programs. PBL provides members with the unique opportunity to build leadership, teamwork, networking, and project management skills. In addition, the club participates in several campus and community activities, and members are encouraged to attend state and national leadership conferences.
The Photography Club received the DSU Award for Community Service for creating unique opportunities to serve people around them. Throughout the past year, the club has provided services to three different organizations and continues to equip students to use their skills to help serve the community independently. Activities included:
- A photo shoot for the Madison Regional Health System
- Professional headshots at the Career and Internship Fair
- Holiday photos for families who may not have had the opportunity otherwise
The Alliance earned DSU Award for Organizational Leadership. The goal of The Alliance is to provide a welcoming environment on campus for students of all identities and orientations. Their members significantly contribute to the campus community through their time, actions, talents, and dedication. The organization hosts events and activities throughout the academic year. They strive to be role models on campus for leadership, compassion, and service.
