BHSU is one of two state universities to offer new
education paraprofessional degree - Top
Beginning this fall, BHSU will be one of two state universities to offer a new associate degree in paraprofessional education. The South Dakota Board of Regents recently
approved the new associate degree for BHSU and Northern State
University to help South Dakota’s teacher aides comply with federal
educational requirements.
The 64-credit associate of science degree in paraprofessional
education can be completed in two years. The degree focuses on general
education and more specific courses needed by classroom
paraprofessionals.
“This new degree offers a sound grounding in the liberal arts,
along with specialized coursework essential for those assisting in
K-12 classrooms,” said Regents' President Harvey C. Jewett.
Curriculum includes 21 credit hours in general education-required
courses in the areas of mathematics, science, composition, psychology,
speech, and computer technology. Other courses prepare the
paraprofessional in educational psychology, teaching strategies,
mathematics, children’s literature, classroom instructional
management, and special education. An additional 18-19 elective
credits complete the degree requirements.
When Congress reauthorized federal education law late last year, it
required paraprofessionals who assist teachers in classrooms supported
by federal Title I dollars to complete at least two years of
postsecondary study, obtain an associate’s degree, or demonstrate
knowledge of and the ability to assist with instruction in reading,
writing, and mathematics. These federal requirements apply to any new
aides hired for the 2002-03 school term, and will apply to all
eligible paraprofessionals by the end of the 2005-06 term. There are
an estimated 1,700 K-12 education paraprofessionals employed in South
Dakota.
There is still time to register for fall classes at BHSU. Classes
begin Sept. 4. Students who have not pre-registered for classes may do
so Sept. 3 from 8 a.m. to noon at the David B. Miller Yellow Jacket
Student Union.
Most of the courses are also available through distance delivery,
including the state’s Digital Dakota Network, Internet, or
correspondence. To view and register for current undergraduate
distance education courses offered through the Regents’ Electronic
University Consortium of South Dakota see <http://www.hpcnet.org/euc/paraprofessionals>.

Volunteers needed
to help make a great second impression with students - Top
Black Hills State
University is working to make a good second impression,
which may be just as important as the first impression, for
incoming new students and their families.
During PREP days, the
New Student Days Committee had an opportunity to make a good first
impression. During New Student Days, students will form their second
impression of BHSU. The last few years, volunteers have helped move
students into residence halls which makes a great impression with the
students and an even greater impression with the parents.
This year the service
was expanded to include athletes who move into the residence halls
early. Football players
moved in August 19th with help of members of the Green and
Gold Club. Jim Rarick, Pope
& Talbot, Terry Sheahan, Pioneer Bank & Trust, Dave Little, Bill
Jordon, Myrle Hanson and Charley Conger along with Jack Hall and three
students from Campus Ventures volunteered to meet our athletes and make
them feel welcome. A couple of days later, Campus Ventures volunteers
also helped move volleyball players from Pangburn Hall to their
permanent residence halls. After the events, all volunteers concurred
that everything went great and the help was greatly
appreciated, especially by parents who were dropping off their
freshman athletes.
Move-in
for new students will be Monday, Sept. 2 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The football players will return the favor and help other
students move in from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Then, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Campus Ventures, ROTC, plus a few
students who appreciated the help moving last year when they were
freshman, have volunteered to help. Faculty and staff have volunteered
to greet students and help with traffic control.
Staff and faculty are still needed to help greet students. As a
thank you for your help, volunteers will be given a t-shirt, to wear
that day. If you would like be a part of this tradition, please call the
Career Center at 642-6277 or email eileenthomas@bhsu.edu.
Please indicate the t-shirt size needed.
BHSU hosts open
house for RSVP - Top
By Mark Norby, University Communications
Black
Hills State University, which recently became a sponsor for the Northern
Hills Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), hosted an open house this
week at the relocated RSVP office in the former Central Elementary
Education School building in Spearfish.
When
the previous host organization left the region, the fate of the program
was in limbo because the federal and state grants that fund RSVP require
a supervising organization. BHSU became RSVP’S new executive sponsor
this spring to ensure that this valuable program did not disappear from
the area.
Volunteerism
has been the bedrock of RSVP since its inception in 1973. Currently
there are over 400 enrolled volunteers assisting nearly 90 participating
non-profit groups.
Kathy
Schneider, director of the northern Black Hills RSVP, works closely with
Ruth Lettau, the Sturgis RSVP coordinator, to provide senior (over 55
years old) volunteers to any non-profit organization that needs them.
“The
amount and times volunteers work vary, but about 75 percent of the 400
volunteers are usually active,” said Schneider.
Although
the hours worked change month to month, the total for all volunteers is
surprisingly large. This past July, participants in the program
volunteered 7,718 hours. “The only pay they get is an annual
recognition banquet and the satisfaction helping gives them,” said
Schneider.
Evelin
Hinker, a RSVP volunteer for the last two years, spends most of her time
working with the Share program and the Northern Hills Crisis Line.
“For seniors, [RSVP] is a wonderful program. There is always something
to do,” said Hinker.
Liz
Haanstad has been with RSVP for the last five years and is fond of
saying that RSVP keeps the town running.
BHSU believes
its sponsorship of RSVP can grow into a relationship that benefits both
organizations. Bob Stanelle, director of student development for BH, is
acting as the executive sponsor of RSVP for the university and will be
providing a work-study student to assist the staff once school starts.
Both
Schneider and Lettau believe the relationship with BHSU will offer RSVP
new and exciting opportunities. “I like the idea of the merging of the
different age groups,” said Lettau.
"My
first board meeting with [RSVP] is in September,” said Stanelle. “We
hope to offer some projects that will benefit both parties (BH and RSVP)
in the future, but this first year is going to be a lot of learning
about each other.”
 Kathy
Schneider, Northern Hills Retired Senior Volunteer Program director,
visits with volunteers present at a recent open house held in RSVP’s
new office in the old Central Elementary School in Spearfish. RSVP staff
and volunteers, BHSU staff and members of the community came together in
recognition of the university’s sponsorship of the RSVP program.
Champion
disc golfers give BHSU course a good review - Top
By
Antonia Kucera, University Communications intern
A shiny Airstream
camper from Michigan pulled on to the Black Hills State University
campus recently, intriguingly covered in stickers and other accessories
proclaiming the owners as fans of a particular sport. The campers are
Rock and Pat Searle and they came to Spearfish for one thing only: to
play disc golf.
Black Hills State
University is home to the longest 18-hole disc golf course in South
Dakota, and “frolfers” (a slang term for Frisbee golfers) come from
all around for tournaments held on the campus course. The Searles are
retired from the Air Force and have spent the last two years traveling
the country in a van towing a camper. They visited Devil’s Tower and
were staying in a campground in Sundance, Wyo., when one of the workers
noticed their traveling décor and mentioned the free course at BH.
“[The BH course] is
easy enough for beginners, but challenging enough to be worth the
stop,” said Rock, who has designed disc golf courses himself in the
past. He praised the designer of the course, BHSU associate professor
Don Altmyer, and was impressed to find only one piece of trash on the
entire course.
“To come to a course
that is this litter-free is a plus,” Rock said.
Rock and his wife have
seen plenty of courses with which to compare BH. They have been frolfing
for 18 years and are both members of the Professional Disc Golf
Association. Pat is the 2000 PDGA world champion and Rock had two
consecutive aces at the same competition in Michigan. Both won the
German masters competition while stationed overseas, a title Rock took
three times consecutively. They have continued to avidly play the sport
in retirement and do not plan on quitting any time soon.
BHSU was just one stop
on the road for these pros, but rated as well worth it. The Searles may
have been the first tourists to play the course since its recent
redesign. Due to campus construction, two holes of the previous 19-hole
course were removed and replaced by one new hole, and the course’s
starting point was moved with the holes being renumbered accordingly.
Anyone interested in
playing the course can visit the Adventure Center in the Student Union
where maps and discs are available. Or just do what the Searles did:
make a flashy entrance to arouse people’s curiosity so they approach
you first.

BHSU’S New Student Days mixes
business with pleasure - Top
By Antonia Kucera, University Communications intern
Black Hills State University’s New Student Days
2002 mixes business with pleasure to help students get a head start both
socially and academically. On
Sept. 2, the program kicks off its carnival theme by providing students
with a fun-filled day before getting down to business on Sept. 3 and
starting classes on the fourth.
New Student Days 2002 at BHSU is one of several
programs geared towards making the transition into college life an
enjoyable experience. Another program, PREP Days, has already brought
over 500 students to the BH campus this summer and is expected to bring
in 250 to 300 more by the end of August.
 “We had an awesome turnout last year [at New
Student Days] and we’re looking forward to an even better time this
year,” said Sarah Chase, the program’s orientation coordinator.
Chase encourages new students to take advantage of this opportunity to
get acquainted with BHSU and make new friends. “This is a chance for
them to become part of the Black Hills State University community. They
get a jump start on both the social and academic life at Black Hills
State.”
Students enjoy the social part first. This Labor
Day at BHSU, the campus will be filled with fun and games. New students
start the day by checking in between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. in front of the
Student Union, where they will receive their student identification, or
ACE, card, room assignment and the name of their advisor. Once they know
where to go, students can begin moving into their rooms; at this point
they can meet some of BH’s returning students and alumni who have
volunteered to assist with move-in.
Students will meet even more new people at the
11:30 a.m. lunch for everyone in the Student Union. This is a good time
for new students to bid their families “farewell” before the
afternoon’s activities begin. President Flickema’s welcome speech
will start the ball rolling in the Young Center field house, along with
the ice cream social hosted by United Ministries. After the social,
students learn the ins and outs of their “home away from home” in
residence hall meetings.
Students will have some free time before the
evening’s activities begin. A barbecue on the campus green will
provide fuel for the fun at the carnival. Outside Thomas Hall will be a
midway of entertainment with activities including an inflatable obstacle
course, a bungee race and sumo wrestling. Students can take their chance
at winning small prizes at the fishing stand, big prizes at the balloon
and darts stand, or just visit the fortuneteller to see what their
future might hold. There will also be popcorn and cotton candy. If that
is not enough to keep everyone busy, the “Sizzling Summer Nights”
dance will provide musical until prize giveaways at 10 p.m.
Students should be comfortably settled in and ready
to get down to business Tuesday when the academic part of the program
begins. The morning starts with a loan debt counseling session at 8 a.m.
and an address by the college deans at 9 a.m. At 9:30 a.m., students
begin the concurrent round robin sessions that discuss the vitals of
college life. Students will take care of fee payment, learn about
internships and classroom etiquette, and take the Learning and Study
Skills Inventory (LASSI) test that will help them assess their strengths
and weaknesses in self-education.
Students will get the chance to meet their advisor
casually at the picnic luncheon in the Young Center field house. Chase
hopes that this informal setting will help students become familiar and
comfortable with their advisors.
“It is both a social and academic orientation,”
Chase stresses. “It’s a chance to meet new friends, have fun, meet
advisors, and learn more about the many opportunities that Black Hills
State offers.”
New Student Days provides that and more not only to
the new students required to attend, but also to transferring and
returning students. They are also strongly encouraged to attend the
activities, some of which are tailored specifically to their needs.
New Student Days 2002 promises to give students the
jump-start they need for a successful year at BHSU.
Emerging
Leader Program provides valuable skills for new students - Top
By Mark Norby, University
Communications
Some
students have found that participation in the Black Hills State
University Emerging Leader Program has enhanced their leadership skills
through out their college years and even after they graduate.
Jason
Glodt, Class of ’97 alumni, who went on to earn a law degree after
graduating from BHSU, rates the Emerging Leader Program as an
exceptional experience. “It gave me the positive encouragement to get
involved and to take a leadership role,” said Glodt.
During
his time at BHSU, Glodt was involved in many organizations. He credits
that involvement for his nomination by Gov. Bill Janklow to be a student
regent for the South Dakota Board of Regents. Glodt, who participated in
the program as a freshman, now utilizes his leadership skills in his
career with the state’s attorney general’s office.
The
Emerging Leader Program is for new freshmen only and begins in late
September after new students have had time to acclimate themselves to
the campus and get past the hectic days surrounding homecoming. Enrolled
students meet once a week during an eight-week period.
Some
aspects of the program involve participating in discussions about being
effective leaders, listening to guest speakers and conducting
team-building exercises. The freshmen also study effective communication
and conflict resolution. All of these are skills that not only enhance
one’s school years, but will also prove valuable throughout life.
Student
Union Director Jane Klug emphasizes that many past participants of the
program have gone on to be leaders in numerous clubs and organizations
at the university and that many of these organizations are making
important contributions through volunteerism on campus, in the community
and beyond.
Abbey
Helling, a junior at BHSU, credits the program with showing her just how
valuable teamwork is and how leadership applies to teamwork. “It’s
opened my eyes to what I could do for others through a leadership
role,” said Helling.
Another
goal of the program is to make the students aware of the many
organizations and clubs available at BHSU and the various volunteer
opportunities there are both on campus and in the surrounding
communities. In fact,
all participants are required to join at least one of the nearly 70
campus organizations by the fourth week of the program. There are groups
for almost any interest, be it academic, hobby or social, and many of
them contribute to the surrounding communities with their activities
throughout the year.
The
United Ministries group has held their shoebox service project for a
number of years. They facilitate the collection and distribution of
needed personal items for residents of the long-term care facility in
Belle Fourche. Members of the organization also spend time with the
residents.
The
Sociology/Human Services Club collects donations and conducts events to
help support the Artemis House, a shelter for battered woman and
children.
Even
though a cause may be serious, the many ways BHSU student organizations
find to help raise funds isn’t always serious. For example the men’s
fraternity, Sigma Tau Gamma, annually lets their members spend a week in
a waterbed outside on the campus (it inevitably snows during this event)
to raise money for charities and they also have shriveled like prunes in
a hot tub soak-a-thon and raffle.
The
Residence Hall Association holds a Halloween safe house so children in
the area can enjoy the holiday without their parents worrying about
their safety or inclement weather.
The
Psychology Club conducts an annual rat race, with real rats in a maze,
to raise money.
Many
groups’ efforts extend past South Dakota’s borders. Several members
of La Masa, a multi-cultural association that encourages Spanish as a
second language, traveled to Mexico in 2001 to donate items and more
importantly their time to an orphanage in Baja California, Mexico.
Immediately
after the tragedy of last Sept. 11, both the BHSU fraternity and its
sister sorority, Alpha Epsilon Xi, initiated projects to aid the relief
efforts in New York City, along with several other university groups.
Students
who get involved make a difference on campus, in the community, across
this country and even in foreign nations. What may be most important is
that being involved makes a difference in their lives.
Since
his graduation from law school in 2000, Glodt has worked in the state
attorney general’s office in Pierre. He also served as Attorney
General Mark Barnett’s assistant campaign manager during Barnett’s
2002 bid in the Republican primary for governor.
“I’m
still involved in my community today, said Glodt. “If not for [the
emerging program] I’m not sure I would be as active as I am today.”
 For
many, that first step to a life of involvement and leadership begins
with the BHSU Emerging Leaders Program.
According
to the Student Union Director Jane Klug, “Getting involved while I was
in college was the best thing I ever did. It led me to my career, and
getting up each morning wanting to go to work is a great way to live.”
Members
of Sigma Tau Gamma and friend, left to right, Mike Odle, Beth Bingham
and Trevor Bryan, do their part during one of the fraternity’s unusual
and fun projects for raising money. Raffle tickets were sold with the
lucky winner receiving the hot tub. Sigma Tau Gamma then donated the
$1,350 raised to the Books For Kids foundation.
