Take Aways: Establishing goals addressing the
divergent demographic and economic needs of a large, sparsely populated, rural state such as South Dakota requires open, honest dialogue.
Each campus has a unique set of needs and goals! Deciding on goals & objectives that address our state vision as well as each campus’ is a challenge requiring time, trust, diligence, and patience.
