"South
Dakota
State
University
has more than 200 student organizations that provide leadership and service to the
university and community. Each has its own
unique purpose and opportunity for personal growth," said Marysz Rames, dean of
student affairs.
The SDSU groups receiving recognition are:
§
Award for Academic Excellence – Members of
Rho Chi are students and faculty of the College of Pharmacy. Programs provided by Rho Chi improve the academic
competence and grades of students and provide guidance to students who pursue graduate
education. Rho Chi helps provide subscriptions to the Medical Letter and affords the
opportunity for students to share their research experiences. The organization also recognizes outstanding
scholarly achievements.
§
Community Service Award – One of the main
goals of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is education outreach to
elementary, middle, and high school students. ASCE
introduces the civil engineering profession and the impact of civil engineers to all ages.
§
Award for Organizational Leadership –
Members of the Academy of Students of Pharmacy (ASP) obtain leadership skills that are not
only used in the profession of pharmacy, but are utilized in helping the community as
well. The SDSU ASP chapter is organized into
13 committees and an executive committee. Members
have the opportunity to be co-chairs who oversee and document the activities of a
particular committee, as well as participate in as many committees as they wish in the
local, regional, or national level, allowing for varied leadership opportunities.
