What an exciting homecoming week!
Campus stayed busy between homecoming events, the Foundation's Board of Governors and Council of Trustees meetings, and the Alumni Board of Directors meeting. Jane and I had a great time hosting Bum-A-Meal with friends on Monday evening, attending Rally at the Rails on Wednesday and catching up with old friends and meeting new ones throughout the week. And what a beautiful day on Saturday for the parade and football game! Thank you to everyone who helped to make the week and day special. I especially want to thank the Hobo Day Committee for their time and effort during the past several months to get ready.
In addition to all the Hobo Day activities last week, our 成人视频 Connect program hosted 630 middle school students on campus from Sioux Falls鈥 Patrick Henry and Edison middle schools. The opportunity to bring these students to campus is a part of our land-grant mission of making higher education accessible to the people of South Dakota and showcasing to these students during an important stage of their educational journey the opportunities afforded through education.
We look forward to hosting over 330 more middle school students on campus from Whittier, McGovern and Ben Reifel middle schools as part of the football game against the University of South Dakota, Oct. 26, and an academic fair on Oct. 30. Thank you to everyone who helped make these events possible.
This week is another exciting week on campus. Yesterday, campus was closed in honor of Native American Day. The American Indian Student Center is hosting a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Walk Thursday at 5 p.m. starting at the AISC. All are welcome to attend and bring awareness to this important event.
Today, the Ness School of Management and Economics is in Sioux Falls hosting the South Dakota Land and Lending Conference. This event provides a valuable opportunity for students, staff and industry workers in South Dakota to grow in their understanding of real-estate markets and beyond. Thank you to Ness School Director Dr. Joseph Santos and his team for making bringing this event to life.

This Friday we will host a very important group as part of our R1 Champions Committee. The committee includes several industry leaders and public officials and involves discussions around our work to achieve R1 status and how we can impact economic development and growth in South Dakota through this initiative.
We recently shared our vision for R1 status with the South Dakota Board of Regents and received valuable and positive feedback. We will certainly share more information and updates with the university community as these important and informational meetings continue. I am appreciative of the work done to date and the positive response and comments we have received.
Last week marked another successful week for Jackrabbits Athletics. Both the football team and the volleyball team came out victorious in their Hobo Day games. The volleyball team remains undefeated this season, and we are so proud of them. Jackrabbits Soccer also remains undefeated in the Summit League, tying 1-1 against USD on Friday night. Keep up the great work!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week and enjoys our fall weather.
Thank you for everything.
Go Jacks!
Sincerely,
Barry H. Dunn, President
