Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s medical laboratory science program, housed in the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, has earned a continuing 10-year accreditation from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

For more than a decade, Andrew Robinette has helped shape the voices of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students. Beginning this fall, he will lead the next chapter of the university's choral program.

Long after the final applause, the feeling of being welcomed and cared for is often what audiences remember most. At Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ's Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center, Anna Stemsrud has built her career around creating those exceptional experiences — and her efforts are now being recognized on an international stage.

Lined up against some big-name competition, a young group of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ engineering students won its category in a prestigious NASA student competition. SDSU was one of three finalists selected to compete in the Lunar Sample Return Concept category. The students were tasked with developing a concept to extract and return to Earth lunar surface and subsurface samples. That was one of four categories in NASA’s Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) competition. Fourteen teams were selected as finalists, with three of them coming from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which won the other three categories.

Eighteen undergraduate students will be able to take part in research projects they helped plan thanks to funding from the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences.

SDSU is leading a multistate study on the power of swine manure in growing better crops.

The South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station’s long history of supporting the state’s producers and its future outlook.

One of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s oldest co-curricular activities now is one of its newest success stories.

Yucheng Liu, head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, will be inducted as a fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education at the group’s awards luncheon June 24 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Each year, up to one-tenth of 1% of the society’s members are selected for induction into the American Society for Engineering Education’s Academy of Fellows — the group’s highest honors.

Phuong Nguyen, an assistant professor in the construction and concrete industry management program at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, has been honored by his educational peers. On April 16, he received the Associated Schools of Construction Region 4 Teaching Award at the 62nd annual ASC International Conference in Shell Beach, California.
