Sustainability Public Service Announcement: Pandemic Plastic
Have you been thinking about how you can protect the environment even during the pandemic?
Because of COVID-19, there has been increased plastic production and use in order to prevent the
spread of the coronavirus. Restaurants are offering the option for takeout meals in plastic takeout
containers with cutlery. We are required to use more PPE (personal protective equipment) such as
masks, gloves, face shields, hand sanitizer in plastic bottles and Plexiglass barriers. We would like to
challenge you to observe the amount of single-use masks on the ground and being used in public the
next time you are on campus or in Spearfish.
We know that a lot of people are switching to throw away items, maybe because they believe using
single-use masks and plastic containers and throwing them away is safer rather than risking infection
from reusables, but it has been reported that ispossibleto use reusables and still be safe.
Here are a few tips for helping to reduce the plastic epidemic:
REDUCE the amount of takeout you are getting
REUSE grocery bags and plastic containers as well as use reusable/washable masks
REFILL water containers
REFUSE plastic cutlery that comes in takeout orders and plastic grocery bags at Walmart (bring your
own reusable bags)
BUY locally
We encourage folks to take action on the pandemic plastic pollution crisis and to eliminate single-use
plastics and switch to a REDUCE, REUSE, REFUSE and REFILL method.

Black Hills State University Graduate Accepted into Graduate Program at #1 Art School in
the World.
Joshua Adkins Sr., a recent graduate with a BFA in Photography has been accepted into the graduate
program at the Royal College of Art in London.
Established in 1837, the Royal College of Art is the world’s oldest art and design university in
continuous operation, with a tradition of innovation and excellence in creative education.
In 2019, the RCA was ranked as the number one Art and Design university in the world – for the fifth
consecutive year, by the QS World University Subject Rankings.
The QS World University Rankings compares 950 universities worldwide across different subjects, The
RCA is generally regarded by academics in the field as being the world’s superior institution for art
and design, boasting a score of 100/100 for academic reputation.
It is also among the world’s strongest producers of employable graduates, perhaps in recognition of
the number of outstanding painters, designers, and Turner Prize winners that leave the RCA, it scores
88.8/100 for employer reputation, leaving it with an overall score of 98.8/100
Joshua and his son will be moving to London over the summer to begin his graduate studies in the Fall
of 2021, while his wife and daughter remain in the United States so that she can complete her
graduate degree here.
When asked about his acceptance Josh stated, “I would not have had the confidence to apply to the
Royal College of Art had it not been for the unwavering support of the faculty at Black Hills State
University. I was continually challenged both artistically and academically. Truly, with hard work, this
is “Where Anything is Possible.”
BHSU photography professor Jerry Rawlings said, “it does not surprise me at all that Josh was
accepted into this prestigious program. His work is creative, pertinent to the times we live in, and
well executed. He has been one of the hardest working and most creative students that I have ever
had the privilege to teach.”

To save you time, complete your Fast Track Health History questionnaire on your computer or mobile
device (smartphone or tablet) before you come to the drive. The health history must be completed
the same day you donate; it cannot be completed a day or two ahead of time. To access the
questionnaire, go to the following website.

COVID Relief Fund
makeSPACE (Spearfish Partnership for Arts, Cycling, and Equity) isrelaunching their COVID Relief
Fund in 2021. They are currently seeking donations for this fund. In 2020, they raised nearly $8,000
and distributed these funds to 21 local families through direct cash assistance. Funds were used to
pay for necessities like groceries, rent, utility payments, and warm winter clothes for children.
In light of recent federal stimulus money (and the potential of more on the way), makeSPACE is
requesting that anyone with a stable income or the means to do so make a donation to this fund to
help those in need. 100% of funds raised go directly to local families seeking assistance during this
difficult time.

Black Hills State University Photography student juried into International Exhibits in Rome
Italy and New York.
Black Hills State University photography student Keegan Baatz is having very good year thus far. In The
first 3 weeks of the new year Keegan has been juried into two international exhibits.
“All the Lights Exhibition will be held at the Treat Gallery in New York City. Out of nearly 450
applicants, 34 were selected for the exhibit. Artists will also have work their featured on the website
and Artspace.
Keegan has also been juried into “The Dreamer” exhibit to held in Rome Italy in April of 2021.
As in the experience of dream, the dreamer is immersed in the world of images and inner
perceptions, in a more or less conscious state of detachment from the perceptible world and
transported by osmosis by the call of an idea or an image in which the "dreamer" finds an answer to a
request of fulfillment of the senses. Hopes, memories and fantasies attract the "dreamer" to the same
world in which the will and of a goal finds its first phase of creation.
BHSU photography professor Jerry Rawlings stated, “Keegan is on fire right now! His latest creations
are being widely hailed throughout the photographic art communities and I do not see this trend
reversing itself anytime soon.”

Feb. 8 Zoom session on "U.S. Politics as Usual?" -- with Dr. Reznikov and Dr. Van
Benthuysen
Has it become easy to fool people in an era of ready access to disinformation and rampant use of
social media? If so, what can be done about it? Since the November 2020 U.S. presidential election,
it's hardly been "politics as usual". So much has happened between then and now that seems
extraordinary fodder for U.S. history books. As a follow-up to last fall's Zoom discussion, Dr. Mary
Caton-Rosser will facilitate an hour-long Zoom session on Monday, Feb. 8, at 3:30 p.m. MT with BHSU
faculty Dr. Andrey Reznikov, who will give analysis of populist propaganda techniques, and Dr. John
Van Benthuysen, who will assess the political situation at-large. A time of Q & A will follow the

University faculty and staff can now be added to waiting list for COVID-19 vaccination
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing rapidly and requires varied strategies to maintain clinical
preventive services, including immunization.
University faculty and staff fall within the 1D category for COVID-19 vaccinations. Although vaccines
are not yet available for this group, you can get on a waiting list for the vaccination.
Monument Health has updated the process to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination. Access the new
website https://vaccineregister.monument.health/ to be placed on a waiting list for the vaccination
when it is available for the 1D category. Monument Health is encouraging people to use this web form
rather than MyChart or scheduling by phone. Phone calls are still being accepted at 755-1350.
On the web form and by phone, you’ll be asked to indicate the location that you’d like to receive your
vaccination and your preferred contact information.
When you receive your vaccine depends on the amount available and the identified priority groups as
defined by the state. Students fall into Category 2. For details about the groups, visit the SD DOH site:
https://doh.sd.gov/COVID/Vaccine/.

Starfish Attendance Alerts
Keep those alerts flowing! Starfish alerts are the best way to notify, both, the student and, the
administrative offices of any concerns you might have, as an instructor or advisor.
Throughout the semester Financial Aid, the Registrar’s Office, and the Business Office closely monitor
Starfish for any attendance alerts. If you have a student you have never seen in class and they haven’t
contacted you with a reason, please submit a “No Activity/Attendance” flag, or, alternatively, you can
e-mail a notice to[email protected].
As the semester progresses, if you have a student who, initially, participated in class, but then,
suddenly stops. And, you don’t hear from them for several weeks, please submit an “Attendance
Notification” flag and note the last date of attendance/online participation in the comments.
Students with attendance alerts, from multiple instructors, will be reviewed, contacted, and advised
as to the best solution to the attendance concern. BHSU does not have an Instructor or Institutional
course drop policy. Students must initiate the process to drop individual courses. An administrative
withdrawal may occur if a student is found to, either, not be participating in any of their registered
courses and/or have a large unpaid tuition balance that is not being addressed.
Please contact[email protected]with any questions.

Mize. Morgan shared, “He has been so much help ever since I got into SSS and helped me with
whatever math problem that comes and is so amazing.” Her most current personal achievement is
making the Dean’s List for Fall 2020. Brittni, Morgan’s TRIO Advisor shared, “Morgan is a kind,
contentious, and hard-working student who is intelligent and driven. Her future students will be so

hard to achieve her goals, and I am so excited that she is in the TRIO program.” Congratulations

University faculty and staff have the option to be added to the waiting list for COVID-19
vaccination
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing rapidly and requires varied strategies to maintain clinical
preventive services, including immunization.
University faculty and staff fall within the 1D category for COVID-19 vaccinations. Although vaccines
are not yet available for this group, you can get on a waiting list for the vaccination.
Monument Health has updated the process to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination. Access the new
website https://vaccineregister.monument.health/ to be placed on a waiting list for the vaccination
when it is available for the 1D category. Monument Health is encouraging people to use this web form
rather than MyChart or scheduling by phone. Phone calls are still being accepted at 755-1350.
On the web form and by phone, you’ll be asked to indicate the location that you’d like to receive your
vaccination and your preferred contact information.
The availability of vaccines is determined by the priority groups as defined by the state. Students,
including those who live on campus, are in Category 2 for vaccinations. For details about the groups,
visit the SD DOH site: https://doh.sd.gov/COVID/Vaccine/.

Sustainability Public Service Announcement: Campus Race to Zero Waste
What is ‘zero waste’? The Environmental Protection Agency defines ‘zero waste’ as, “The
conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of
products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that
threaten the environment or human health.” In simpler terms, zero waste is the action of ensuring
that no throw-away items end up in the landfill. Instead they are reduced, reused, recycled,
repurposed, composted, etc.
BHSU Sustainability is participating in the 2021 Campus Race to Zero Waste. BHSU is competing
against other schools to have the least amount of waste in the months of February and March. BHSU
Sustainability is working hard to sort through the campus’ throw away items to recycle and compost
as much as we can! You can do your part in the race to zero waste by reducing your waste and
throwing away your items in the proper recycling bin.
Thanks,
BHSU Sustainability

“It is with great pleasure to nominate Megan Koens for the Student of the Month Award. Working with

University faculty and staff have the option to be added to the waiting list for COVID-19
vaccination
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing rapidly and requires varied strategies to maintain clinical
preventive services, including immunization.
University faculty and staff fall within the 1D category for COVID-19 vaccinations. Although vaccines
are not yet available for this group, you can get on a waiting list for the vaccination.
Monument Health has updated the process to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination. Access the new
website https://vaccineregister.monument.health/ to be placed on a waiting list for the vaccination
when it is available for the 1D category. Monument Health is encouraging people to use this web form
rather than MyChart or scheduling by phone. Phone calls are still being accepted at 755-1350.
On the web form and by phone, you’ll be asked to indicate the location that you’d like to receive your
vaccination and your preferred contact information.
The availability of vaccines is determined by the priority groups as defined by the state. Students,
including those who live on campus, are in Category 2 for vaccinations. For details about the groups,
visit the SD DOH site: https://doh.sd.gov/COVID/Vaccine/.

Black Hills State University Photography Program is on Fire
Even while dealing with the difficulties of being a student in these difficult times, Black Hills State
University students and faculty are of fire this semester with exhibitions awards and competitions!
This past Friday, 2/19/2021, The Addy Awards were presented in Rapid City. The Addy Awards are the
highest awards given out by the American Advertising Federation. BHSU photography students
received a total of 10 Awards. Students who were recognized for this achievement are, Alisha
Henning, Chris Mehlhalff, Payton Adams, Keegen Baatz, Sydny Koehn, and Erin Bender. Alisha Henning,
Sydny Koehn and Chris Mehlhaff all received Gold awards. Alisha also won Best of Show and the People
Choice category. Those students that received Gold Awards will now move onto the regional
competition in Minneapolis and if they are successful there they will move onto the nationals.
The accolades do not stop there though. Photography student Katie Jones is currently in two
international exhibitions. The first at the Midwest Center for Photography in Wichita, KS and the
Auburn Gallery in Los Angeles, CA where she was awarded 2nd Place. She has also recently been in an
international exhibit at the Black Box Gallery in Portland OR.
Keegan Baatz has also done well this semester. All the Lights Exhibition will be held at the Treat
Gallery in New York City. Out of nearly 450 applicants, 34 were selected for the exhibit. Keegan has
also been juried into “The Dreamer” exhibit to held in Rome, Italy in April of 2021.
Faculty member Skott Chandler recently won a Top 5 Juror Selection and Bronze Medal at the Tokyo
International Foto Awards. Juror Jesper Thomsen stated, “Each image in the series shows consistency
and brings out the awkwardness of the subject matter. They are also very beautifully composed and
thought provoking.” Skott also has work on exhibit in the South Dakota’s Governors Biennial

and other academic goodies. Covid has put a slight crimp in our abilities to fundraise, so we’re asking
folks to directly donate. In short, WE CHALLENGE YOU to help us raise food items, books, and school
supplies for the BHSU-RC Food Pantry and BHSU-RC Lending Library.
From 3-7 pm on Tuesday, March 2 in the BHSU-RC atrium, members of the BHSU-RC Human
Services/Sociology Collective will accept student, staff, and faculty donations of books, school
supplies, and shelf-stable food!
BUT WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
Glad you asked! If you tell students to drop your name when they donate, we’ll note it. At the end of
the drive, those staff members or instructors whose students have donated the most items in their
name will win one of the following (your choice!): 1. $25 donation to a charity of you and your
students’ choice; 2. Wrapped, edible goodies delivered to one office or class; 3. A stunning crown or
tiara (up to you) that you will wear one entire day to commemorate this victory. (We may combine a
couple of these, mostly because you will look amazing in a crown!)
Are you on board? Let us know by emailing Dr. Lesleigh Owen ([email protected]) or texting
her (307.363.1756). Thank you!

Lakota Language & Culture in an Elementary Classroom
March 11, 2021 @ 1:30 PM-2:30 PM MT
Featuring Matthew Rama & Tamera Miyasato, facilitated by Dr. Jami Stone
South Dakota Department of Education adopted the Oceti Sakowin Essential for Understandings (OSEU)
in 2018. This adoption by the state department of education demonstrated the importance of South
Dakota citizens to understand the history and the cultural makeup of Indigenous people. How do we
use these understandings to center Indigenous culture? How do we foster students' mathematical
identity through the OSEU? In this EquiLearn Virtual Roundtable, we explore how the OSEU can be
integrated into any classroom as a starting point to honor student voices, experiences, and identities
by centering Indigenous culture in the learning environment.
Accessibility questions for all events, please contact the center at (317) 278-3493 or email

BHSU Staff Senate invites anyone on campus to take part in an Open House on Friday, March 12 (all
day long). Have you ever wanted to find out what that other department across campus does? This is
your chance to meet each other and learn about other departments. Take some time on March 12 to
wander over to “that other department” and find out what goes on there!
During this pandemic, we are planning to include everyone who cannot or prefers not to come to
campus as well. We ask that each department send us one (1) PowerPoint slide with a brief
description of your department and its most important functions. Derrick Erhart (Staff Senator from
IT) will compile a PowerPoint presentation that will run continuously that day with access information
provided before the Open House. Anyone can log into the presentation and learn about each
department through the slideshow.
REMINDER:Please send your slide (1 per department) to Derrick ([email protected])before
Monday, March 8, so he has time to organize the slideshow and make sure it is ready for Friday.
We look forward to welcoming you to our departments, either in person or virtually on March 12!

Entries may be posted starting on Monday, March 8, 2021 through Wednesday, March 31, 2021, 5:00

follow, and the essays must have been submitted for a class from between March 1, 2019, and March

1. Composition I and II Essays (of any type for those classes);
2. Literature (Literary Analysis);
3. General Academic Writing (any discipline and type of essay).
· A student may submit up to three total essays, and those must each be to different
categories. Both .doc and .pdf submission will work—please only do one of them, and
be sure your entry gets verified before signing off on the submission page.
· Uploaded essays must include a title, but all other identifying information (names,
courses, running headers) must be removed.
· Students will make their submissions via the Bellman Awards website, easily reached
via the BHSU main webpage no later than Wednesday, March 31, 2021, by 5:00
p.m.:https://www.bhsu.edu/Academics/Arts-Humanities/English/Bellman-Awards
· Cash rewards and certificates are provided for the winners.
· Award Winners will be announced during the week of April 5 via the campus online
newsletter and campus email letters to the winners themselves.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Information about COVID-19 vaccines
The South Dakota Department of Health updated its timeline for the rollout of the COVID-19
vaccination for teachers & college staff. Based on the estimates, educators could be scheduled for
their vaccination as early as March 22.
If you haven’t signed up on the COVID-19 vaccination waitlist yet, please do so
athttps://vaccineregister.monument.health/
Please see the following details about scheduling from Monument Health.
It’s important to remember:
If you don’t answer your phone when we call you to schedule, we will call the next person on
the list.
If you have a spam filter on your phone you might miss our call.
We will not begin calling to schedule appointments until at least March 15.
This timeline could change as we continue to move through these vaccination phases.
When you go to the sign-up sheet you can choose the location that works best for you.
Monument Health has vaccination locations throughout the Black Hills including Spearfish.
Our experience has shown that a small percentage of persons receiving the vaccine do
experience symptoms post-vaccination that may keep them from work. You may want to
consider spacing out the vaccination of teachers/faculty to avoid having a group out if they
have a vaccination reaction following either a first or second dose of the vaccine.

Attention BHSU.edu Website Editors
The website migration to the new CMS is nearly complete.
Over the next week, we will be emailing active website editors with details on accessing the new
BHSU.edu website editing platform. Included in this email introduction will be a selection of training
videos covering the basics of editing.
These videos will help most editors get started within minutes. However, we will also be ready and
available to provide help for anyone who prefers a more individualized introductory walk-through.
The goal of this upgrade is to empower editors to make changes quickly to the website with minimal
time and effort. Editing body copy, updating contact info, adding links, uploading documents, adding
images/video, creating new pages, adjusting menu items... these basic tasks will be simple with the
new system and we're excited to introduce it to all website editors within the next week.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know at[email protected].

My name is Tayci Vela and I am a senior at BHSU. I am currently student teaching In Sundance
Wyoming. Over the weekend, a student from my classroom, and his family, lost their ranch and all
belongings in a devastating fire near Sundance. We are rallying together as a community to support
the long road of recovery. We are reaching out to you for support for the Halverson Family. They have
lost all of their belongings, including any BHSU gear that they had owned previously. Below is the

four years and supported me at every turn, I am hoping it will do the same for this family.

New Feature in Respondus- Instructor Live Proctoring
A new feature was recently enabled for our current Repsondus LockDown Browser and Monitor
license.The new Instructor Live Proctoring option enables instructors to use a video conferencing
system (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet) for live, remote testing. LockDown Browser prevents
cheating on the computer or device itself, while the instructor watches students via video
conferencing. This mode of testing is recommended for small, synchronous classes where instructors
can effectively manage and observe students during the exam.
More details:
· Instructor Live Proctoring is included with our Respondus Monitor license (there is no
additional cost).

Lakota Language & Culture in an Elementary Classroom
March 11, 2021 @ 1:30 PM-2:30 PM MT
Featuring Matthew Rama & Tamera Miyasato, facilitated by Dr. Jami Stone
South Dakota Department of Education adopted the Oceti Sakowin Essential for Understandings (OSEU)
in 2018. This adoption by the state department of education demonstrated the importance of South
Dakota citizens to understand the history and the cultural makeup of Indigenous people. How do we
use these understandings to center Indigenous culture? How do we foster students' mathematical
identity through the OSEU? In this EquiLearn Virtual Roundtable, we explore how the OSEU can be
integrated into any classroom as a starting point to honor student voices, experiences, and identities
by centering Indigenous culture in the learning environment.
Accessibility questions for all events, please contact the center at (317) 278-3493 or email
at[email protected]. All accommodation requests must be made within two weeks of event date.

WHY A NEW BHSU LOGO?
BHSU will officially launch a new logo March 29 at 2 p.m. at the Student Union. I hope you will join us
as we celebrate our history and this step forward with a new look.
Several people have asked why BHSU is getting a new logo. It’s important to know that the new logo is
a strategic marketing and recruiting move. Increasingly prospective students and their parents learn
about BHSU in the digital space – our webpage, through email, social media, etc. – so it’s important to
have a logo that clear, distinctive and memorable. Our new logo does that and it’s unique to BHSU.
Thanks for all the people on campus who have been a part of this process. I appreciate your time and
expertise.

TRIO MARCH STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Kaitlin Kumpf is from Hemmingford, Nebraska and is pursuing a degree in elementary education. Since
she was little, Kaitlin has always wanted to serve as a mentor and role model for children; pursuing a
career as an elementary educator allows her to achieve this goal. Recently she accepted a teaching
position in an elementary school, and she can’t wait to help students in her future classroom reach
their full personal and academic potential. She’s also excited to become an active member of not only
her school’s staff, but also the local community. The greatest personal achievement of her college
career that she is most looking forward to is graduating this upcoming spring with honors. Kaitlin
shared, “My college career has been extremely rewarding; I have had the opportunity to make
numerous friends and have had numerous opportunities to be actively engaged on campus. Ashley,
Kaitlin’s SSS academic advisor expressed, “Kaitlyn has been a bright light in the TRIO office. She has
shined in many of her roles on campus, but I feel her brightest has been as a TRIO student and as a
Peer Mentor for the TRIO program. We are so proud of Kaitlyn and all she has and will accomplish as
she begins her teaching career.” Congratulations Kaitlin!!

THANK YOU BHSU
Dear BHSU Family,
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your wonderful gift on Valentine’s Day.
Your generous gift of money was so kind. However, your supportive messages and words of
encouragement were overwhelming - they brought me to tears! I experienced low days throughout
my cancer and health battle, but reading your cards and notes provided the extra hope, care and
healing I needed.
The extra special efforts from KBHU-TV who coordinated this project will be forever remembered by
me and my family. I plan on making a memory poster board with all your kind notes. Thank you so
very much.
God bless you and thanks again,

Any student in the School of Business is eligible to apply for internship credit, no pre-
requisite required.
As a general rule, one (1) university credit hour will be earned per 50 hours ofdiverse work
tasks. Please note that time alone does not determine credit hours awarded; rather, time,
diversity of tasks, and types of tasks will be the criteria used in determining credit hours
awarded. Generally, internships are three credit hours, so on average students work 10-15
hours per week. They may work more than that, but the idea of an internship is to get
experience over the course of a semester, not “hurry up and get it done”.
*NOTE: No more than 12 internship credits may be counted toward a major or a degree.
Students are not placed in internships, rather they are responsible for finding their own
internship. If interested in receiving credit for your upcoming summer internship, contact
Mela at[email protected]for more information.

EAB’S NAVIGATE WILL REPLACE STARFISH THIS FALL AT BHSU
BHSU will replace Starfish this fall with Navigate, a student success management system from
EAB. Northern State University is launching Navigate this fall as well, and all other BOR
universities have been using it for quite some time (SDSU since 2013).
The capabilities of Navigate, in terms of communicating with students, sharing information
with one another, gathering data, etc. are much better and broader than Starfish. The system
will allow us to coordinate our efforts to better care for the student. Consistent use of
Navigate – as well as using it to the best of its ability – will help the university meet our
retention and graduation rate goals.
Professional Advisors will pilot certain functionalities this summer, and then a phased rollout
to various departments across campus will begin in the fall. Most offices who will utilize
Navigate have been introduced to the product, but more detailed trainings will occur as we
get closer to the launch.
The Navigate implementation team at BHSU involves staff from the Student Success Center,
Academics, Institutional Research, Information Technology, and administration. Please feel
free to send questions or other feedback to[email protected], and the person best
equipped to answer your question will respond.
Thank you for your help as we develop a student-centered culture that facilitates and values
the proactive and holistic support of students at BHSU!

will not be able to bring your grade up to passing, taking a withdraw will prevent an F from posting to
your transcript. Withdraw grades are "neutral" when GPA is calculated. Meaning, it will not help or
hurt your overall GPA.
You can "drop" withdraw classes through your Student Registration account. Just choose "Register for
Classes," select spring 2021, and use the drop-down option next to the course, choosing "Drop-No
Refund." Or, simply, e-mail[email protected]with the course information and I can drop it for
you.
If you find that you are in this situation with all of your spring classes, you may want to consider
withdrawing from school, for this semester. Withdrawing from the university is a good way to stop,
take a breath, and jump back in during the summer or fall semester. You are welcome to return at
any time. You might even be eligible for a partial tuition credit. Please
contact[email protected]with questions or to start the Complete Withdraw process.

DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR A SUMMER INTERNSHIP? RECEIVE COLLEGE CREDIT!
Any student in theSchool of Businessis eligible to apply for internship credit, no pre-
requisites required.
As a general rule, one (1) university credit hour will be earned per 50 hours ofdiverse work
tasks. Please note that time alone does not determine credit hours awarded; rather, time,
diversity of tasks, and types of tasks will be the criteria used in determining credit hours
awarded. Generally, internships are three credit hours, so on average students work 10-15
hours per week. They may work more than that, but the idea of an internship is to get
experience over the course of a semester, not “hurry up and get it done”.

POETRY WORKSHOP WITH COURTNEY HUSE WIKA
The (He)art of the Metaphor Poetry Workshop
Thursday, April 15th, 6:00pm via Zoom
REGISTER HERE:https://forms.gle/t3C6xS3hWWmknkbk7
Poets are shapeshifters, skillfully manipulating language, image, and sound to render our world anew.
One of the poet's most powerful tools is the metaphor: a comparison between two seemingly
disparate ideas or objects. When this comparison rings true or precise, it destabilizes the familiar,
deepening the reader’s understanding of the human experience. In this workshop, we will study a
number of poets adept in the art of metaphor and practice creating layers of meaning in our own
work through metaphor, simile, and personification.
Courtney Huse Wika believes in the art of collection: overheard quotes, forgotten stories, and
sometimes animals. She is a 2021 James Hearst Poetry Prize finalist from North American Review, and
a notable mention in the 50th New Millennium Writing Awards. The author of Perch, a chapbook of
nature poetry from Anchor and Plume Press, her creative work is forthcoming or has appeared in
North American Review, The Halcyon, New Ohio Review, CALYX, South Dakota in Poems, Kindred,
South Dakota Magazine, Midwestern Gothic, Scissors and Spackle, Backwards City Review, Paddlefish,
605 Magazine, Life on the Farm and Ranch: A South Dakota Anthology, and the Macguffin. Her
collaborative work with artist Becky Grismer has also appeared in numerous juried shows and galleries
in the United States. She received her BA in philosophy and English from Augustana University, her MA
and PHD in English with a specialization in creative writing from the University of South Dakota, and is
an Associate Professor of English and Distinguished Faculty at Black Hills State University.

WHAT YOU DO TODAY MIGHT CHANGE SOMEONE'S TOMORROW--APRIL IS SAAM
In April, we observe Sexual Assault Awareness Month to raise awareness about sexual assault on
college and university campuses, Even with the best prevention efforts in place, sadly, students,
faculty, and staff throughout the world will become victims of sexual assault and violence.
At BHSU, we know that each of us play a vital role in preventing and reducing assault and violence on
our campus and within our community. A role so important that our actions today can and will change
the outcomes for tomorrow.
Tips you can use to help others

APRIL IS SAAM--END VICTIM BLAMING
Victim Blaming is a pervasive part of the trauma many sexual assault survivors experience. Too often
when survivors disclose, they are met with a checklist of questions...all centered on their
actionsinsteadof the perpetrator's. Rather than focusing on the inappropriate and illegal conduct of
the perpetrator, many will actually blame the victim. You can stop victim-blaming...whether it's
checking your own behavior, holding a perpetrator responsible, or by changing your community's
attitude towards victim-blaming. Check out the poster presentation (starting this Wednesday in the
BHSU Student Union and the BHSU-RC Atrium):16 Ways to Smash Victim Blaming. This event is
sponsored by the BHSU Psychology Club.

APRIL IS SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS MONTH
April 19-24 has been designated Severe Weather Awareness Week in South Dakota. With the approach
of warmer weather, it is important to remind BHSU Faculty, Staff and Students to take a moment to
review our emergency procedures for severe weather.
In the event of developing weather conditions that could potentially spawn severe weather, the
National Weather Service (NWS) will issue either a Severe Thunderstorm Watch or a Tornado Watch. A
Watch means that atmospheric condition exist for severe weather to develop.
If the NWS upgrades a Watch to a Warning, it means that severe storm conditions exist and that you
should take shelter immediately.
Severe weather advisories will be broadcast on local radio and television stations. If you hear a Severe
Weather Watch has been issued for your general area, you should stay alert to weather conditions and
be ready to seek shelter. If a Tornado Warning is issued Civil Defense sirens will be sounded in a non-
broken continuous tone that will last up to 3-minutes in duration.
At the sounding of a Severe Weather Warning, take cover in a basement or interior room of your home
or work place. If you live in a mobile home, leave at once and seek another shelter. If you are located
in a public building go to a lower interior area of the building. Use stairways and avoid the use of
elevators. If you are outdoors, seek shelter in a ditch or low area on the ground. Avoid positioning
yourself near trees, power lines and telephone poles. If you are in a motor vehicle do not attempt to
outrun the tornado. Stop, exit the vehicle immediately, and seek shelter away from your vehicle.
Tornadoes are rare in this area but can and do happen. We all need to be alert to the weather
conditions, act quickly when a tornado is detected, and remain calm. You and your family should
know in advance what to do if the Civil Defense warnings are issued.
State-wide Tornado Drills will be conducted on Wednesday April 21st sometime between 9 a.m. & 9:30
a.m.

TRIO APRIL STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Aspyn Lamb is from Whitehorse, South Dakota and is pursuing a degree in psychology with a minor in
Native American Indian studies. Throughout her time at BHSU, she has kept busy by becoming a
member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, working as a research assistant in the
psychology department, and most recently, by becoming TRIO club’s president. Aspyn has thoroughly
enjoyed participating in the TRIO program and shared, “The support I get from Student Support
Services is amazing! I get to utilize having an additional advisor at Student Support Services. The
support you receive at SSS feels like family. I took a semester off of college to go back home and when
I came back to BHSU, SSS was there to help me with anything I needed.” Her dream job is to become
a licensed therapist and to work on reservations that have limited access to mental healthcare. In
order to achieve this goal, after graduation, she hopes to attend graduate school. She plans to earn
her master’s degree in counseling and use it to work as a licensed therapist in her hometown.
Summer, Aspyn’s SSS academic advisor expressed, “I have had the privilege of working with Aspyn for
the past few years, and it has always been such a positive experience. Student Support Services is
honored to have Aspyn in our program, she is such a wonderful, positive student to advise. Aspyn is
not only a hard worker, but she also shows awesome determination, dedication, and a positive
attitude not only towards herself but towards others as well. Aspyn has taken on the Presidential role
of the SSS TRIO Club this year and has made it a great experience for all! Aspyn is not only recognized
by me, but by others as well for the effort and positivity in all she does! Congratulations Aspyn!!”

APRIL IS SAAM--YOUR VOICE HAS POWER
The#MeToomovement transformed the way our society talks about the issue of sexual violence. The
theme of today’s #SAAMatBHSU isYour Voice Has Powerand it feels like a perfect fit. This theme
provides an exciting opportunity to educate and demonstrate that everyone’s voice matters when it
comes to preventing sexual assault. More specifically, individuals can embrace their voice to show
their support for survivors, stand up to victim blaming, shut down rape jokes, correct harmful
misconceptions, promote everyday consent, and practice healthy communication. Everyone’s voice is
necessary for this conversation – whether to shut down locker room talk or to just help someone
better understand these issues. This SAAM at BHSU event is sponsored by BHSU Native American
Studies.
April is SAAM.

TOMORROW--BHSU WEARS DENIM
Tomorrow is National Denim Day…probably the most important single event of SAAM.
To spread awareness and to signify that we support survivors of sexual assault, we encourage you to
wear denim to work this Wednesday. Additionally, it would be fantastic if you’d take a pic of your
denim swag and post it to our Instagram campaign (#SAAMatBHSU #30DaysofSAAM tag @NSVRC).
Thank you for your leadership and for helping to spread the word.
Here's the Backstory...In 1997 in Rome, Italy, an 18-year-old girl was raped by her 45-year-old driving
instructor, who was later convicted and sentenced to jail. The perpetrator appealed the sentence,
and his case went to the Italian Supreme Court where the case was overturned. The Head Judge

released a statement arguing that because the victim wore tight jeans, he assumed that she must
have helped her perpetrator remove her jeans and, therefore, consented. Enraged by the verdict, the
women in the Italian Parliament launched into immediate action and protested by wearing jeans on
the steps of the Italian Parliament building. This was the beginning of what has become a worldwide
event and movement to wear jeans as a visible means of protest against misconceptions that surround
sexual assault.
April is SAAM...Stop by the Student Union tomorrow to see the awesome Denim Day Display created by
our Student-athletes.

SELF REPORTING FOR VETERAN'S AND/OR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
Greetings Colleagues!
The South Dakota Board of Regents (SDBOR) and Black Hills State University are committed to assuring equal opportunity in employment to
persons with disabilities and covered veterans*. As part of its affirmative action program, SDBOR invites all employees who are persons with
disabilities or covered veterans to identify themselves. Persons with disabilities are also invited to request any reasonable accommodations
that may allow them to perform the essential functions of their jobs. Self-identification and requests for accommodation may be made now or
at any time in the future and is strictly voluntary; failure to disclose information will not subject you to any adverse action. Individuals who
have submitted self-identification forms or accommodation requests in the past, and whose status has not changed, need not do so again.
Information provided as part of this self-identification process will be used solely for reporting and recordkeeping purposes in compliance with
federal regulations and will be kept confidential, except that where a disability is identified, in accordance with federal law, the following
personnel and officials will have access to it:
1. Supervisors and other personnel who need to be informed in order to assess requests for and implement any necessary restrictions of
work duties and/or necessary accommodations.
2. Proper personnel, to the extent appropriate, if the disability might require emergency treatment.
3. Government officials investigating compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act or the laws administered by the Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs.
If you wish to identify yourself as a person with a disability or as a covered veteran, please complete the online forms. To self-identify, please
log in to SNAP, in in the Employment Details channel select “Disability Status” and/or “Veterans Classifications” and complete the forms.
If you are a person with a disability and you wish to request an accommodation or if you have any questions regarding the self-identification
please contact the human resource office.

EXCITING CHANGES FOR PRINTING SERVICES!
To make things more efficient for our customers, we’ve set up a table outside the Printing Center.
This location will serve a dual purpose: first, completed orders will be available so you can pick them
up anytime, without worrying about window hours or waiting for assistance. Second, we will have a
drop box with job tickets and printer cartridge order forms available so that you can place orders,
even when we’re not here. You can also continue to email printing jobs, requests, and questions, as
well as utilize our online order forms for business cards, letterhead, and envelopes. Watch for
expanded online ordering this summer.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please let me know;[email protected]or
642-6739.
Thank you!

DO YOU INTERACT WITH CHILDREN OR WORK IN PROGRAMS THAT TAKE PLACE ON UNIVERSITY
LAND OR FACILITIES?
In the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal in 2011, many campuses began to examine their
policies and practices regarding minors on campus. Like this situation, programs involving minors are
often run by multiple departments that may or may not be treating similar situations in a comparable
—and protective—manner. In light of increased attention on sexual assault issues and their
complexities, it may be time to revisit your policies and practices that address minors on campus.
