Quote from BHSU President Steve Elliott:
"Black Hills State University's Center for Civic Engagement is committed to preparing students to enhance their understanding of civic affairs and discourse so they can thoughtfully and productively engage in their communities. Programs like BHSU's Dr. Nicholas W. Drummond Civic Engagement Speaker Series, named after the late Dr. Nicholas W. Drummond, are designed to inspire students through civics-focused topics and to provide an outlet for students to engage in productive conversations about complex issues. With support from the South Dakota lawmakers and the Board of Regents, BHSU stands ready to strengthen statewide efforts to promote civil discourse."
