When Erica Summerfield talks about the growth of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s agricultural communication program, one word keeps coming up: opportunity. That opportunity has reached a new level with the establishment of the Karen D. Stuck Endowment. On Sept. 25, during a special endowment ceremony, Summerfield, a second-year assistant professor, became the first-ever Karen D. Stuck Endowed Professor of Agricultural Communication.

ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s Bachelor of Science in respiratory care program, housed in the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, has earned provisional accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care.

Forward-thinking investments in key areas of strategic importance will help SDSU researchers address the complex challenges facing South Dakota, the U.S. and the world.

Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls is starting to look more yellow and blue. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ pharmacy and respiratory care students began the spring semester on Jan. 12 in the newly renovated east two-thirds of the SDSU Metro Center at 33rd Street and Minnesota Avenue, after spending the past two years taking classes in the unremodeled portion of the building.

More than half of South Dakota’s landscape, around 24 million acres, is covered with the most abundant ecosystem in the world, rangeland. More than pretty scenery, the complex and varied environment is home to relationships among plants, animals and soil that were formed over millennia to mutually thrive and now play a crucial part in the South Dakota way of life.

ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s two largest relationship-building partners have consolidated into one organization, effective Jan. 1, 2026.

Researchers in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics will soon begin testing surface water samples for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Since the 1940s, the range degree program at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ has been preparing students for critical roles in conservation and the agriculture industry. Today, the range specialization builds on that tradition to serve students with unique opportunities as one of only 14 accredited programs in the country.
