In conjunction with the yearlong Quasquicentennial celebration at Black Hills State University, the University will be honoring “125 Accomplished Alumni” during a luncheon Friday, Sept. 19th, in the Donald E. Young Sports and Fitness Center Gymnasium. The luncheon and program will begin at 11:30 a.m.
“As the University celebrates its 125th anniversary, Accomplished Alumni who have achieved prominence and distinction in their careers have been selected to represent the thousands of alumni since our founding in 1883,” President Kay Schallenkamp says. “The Accomplished Alumni list includes graduates from each decade and is meant to show the breadth of the accomplishments of our alumni through the years and the vast range of professions. Please join us as we honor these alumni and celebrate 125 years of transforming lives.”
Schallenkamp noted that the 125th designation on the list was reserved for all BHSU alumni who day in and day out represent our university.
“We are proud of the powerful influence and accomplishments of all of our alumni with their ongoing contributions in their field or area of expertise. That’s why the 125th designation was reserved for all alumni,” Schallenkamp says.
The public is invited to attend the luncheon and program; the cost per person is $15. Tickets may be purchased at the BHSU University Advancement Office, room 114 Woodburn Hall.
