“Becoming a Blue Hawk was the best decision I have made in my entire life.”
If you ask Dickinson State University (DSU) student Hunter Flynn why he feels this way, he’ll tell it to you straight. “DSU gives you opportunities that can only be found here in Dickinson. The professors and staff want you to succeed, and they do everything they can to make your college experience worthwhile. The people I have met here at DSU have changed my life. I have been given so many opportunities to succeed and grow as a person during my time at DSU.”
Mackenzie Grubbs, a senior who is almost finished with her bachelor’s degree at Dickinson State University (DSU), grew up on a ranch in Northeast Wyoming. She calls the little town of Upton ‘home.’ The ranch, which has been passed down through her family for generations, holds a pretty special place in her heart. As a kid on a ranch, most of her time was spent helping out with chores, and the little free time she did have was spent either on the volleyball or basketball court. She also ran track. In small schools, students are typically involved in everything they can be, and she was no different! Grubbs competed in all three sports in middle and high school, and, upon graduation, she was recruited to run for Chadron State in Nebraska.
In a year unlike any other, the scholars of the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program (TRHLP) at Dickinson State University (DSU) worked harder than ever to continue to make an impact on the lives in their community. TR scholars were not able to host community events, like their escape room and in-person auction at the Homecoming tailgate, as normal. So, when the program was in need of fresh ideas during the fall 2020 semester, Logan Wagoner, a composite social science education major and one of three student assistant directors for the TRHLP, came up with something brilliant.
This past year has been one for the books! Through the ups and downs, the Blue Hawks stuck together, and we’re entering 2021 stronger than ever! Before we say ‘goodbye’ to 2020, let’s take a look back at what has happened this year at Dickinson State University (DSU). If it has been anything, it sure has been memorable!
