Each year, the South Dakota State University student body honors exceptional faculty and staff through the Students’ Association Campus Partner of the Year Awards. This allows students to highlight individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to student success and campus excellence.
The selection process begins with nominations from current SDSU students, which are then reviewed and finalized by the Students’ Association Board of Directors. The following are the recipients of the awards that were announced and honored at Monday’s Students’ Association meeting.
