Dakota State University is proud to support The 437 Project as its runners make their way across South Dakota this week, raising awareness and support for suicide prevention and mental health. 💙💛 We’re especially proud to support Lake County Sheriff Sarina Talich, a runner in this year’s The 437 Project. DSU is sponsoring Sarina’s jersey for her 437-mile journey across South Dakota, helping support her as she carries this important message across the state. The 437 Project makes its stop in Madison on Saturday, September 19, and we invite the DSU community to come out and be part of the evening. 📍 United Methodist Church Parking Lot ⏰ Activities begin at 6 p.m. | Program at 7 p.m. Come early to help welcome the runners with sidewalk chalk and inspirational messages. The first 100 DSU students will receive a free T-shirt, and free Dairy Queen Dilly Bars will also be available, along with giveaways, activities, and mental health resources. The free program will feature Sarina Talich and special guest Nathan Harmon, a speaker, advocate, and survivor, with an opportunity to meet the runners, hear their stories, and learn more about The 437 Project’s mission. Special thanks to the DSU Counseling Center for helping organize our campus involvement and keeping conversations about mental health and well-being visible across our community. Come for the fun. Stay for the purpose. 💛 Learn more: the437project.org/ #DakotaState #The437Project #MentalHealthAwareness @437_the

Thank you to Dr. Jon K. Lauck for joining us for the 2026 History & Ethics Forum. In his keynote, “Findings and Foundings: The Search for Roots in a Placeless Age,” Dr. Lauck explored the importance of place, history, and belonging — and how a deeper understanding of the Midwest and South Dakota can help strengthen our communities and encourage greater civic engagement. The evening offered an opportunity to reflect on the stories and places that have shaped our communities — and the role understanding our past can play in shaping their future. 🎥 Missed the forum or want to watch it again?
