For Immediate Release 28 March 2002 Regents Present Awards to DSU Student
Organizations MADISON-
The South Dakota Board of Regents, meeting today at Dakota State University, gave awards
to two student organizations from DSU. President Harvey C. Jewett presented the awards on
the Board's behalf. "Socialization and the development of leadership skills are a
very important part of the college experience. The organizations honored today give
students the opportunity to learn and grow outside of the classroom," said Jewett. The
award for academic excellence was given to the DSU Phi Beta Lambda Business Club. Phi Beta Lambda is a national collegiate
organization committed to bringing business and education together in a positive working
relationship through leadership development programs.
Membership to Phi Beta Lambda is open to any DSU student interested in
business. The group's activities during the past year included: the South Dakota Spring
Leadership Conference, the Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference in Orlando,
Florida, the South Dakota Phi Beta Lambda Fall Conference in Mitchell, presentations for
the Kiwanis, and a Business Etiquette Workshop. The
award for organizational leadership was presented to the DSU Student Activities Board. The Student Activities Board at Dakota State
University provides quality entertainment and a wide range of activities to the students
of DSU. Membership is open to any student
currently enrolled at Dakota State who is in good standing with the university and is
willing to dedicate time and energy to the success of the organization. Events and activities conducted by the Student
Activities Board over the past year include: movie night, bowling night, a semi-formal
social and performances by hypnotists, comedians, and jugglers. Accepting
the award for the Phi Beta Lambda Business Club were Tracy Steed, Jessica Fritzsche, and
