Written by Kayden Heckaman, DSU Student Intern

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused educational institutions, including Dickinson State University (DSU), to adopt new methods in order to continue delivering instruction to their students. From continuing in-person instruction with precautions in place, to shifting to online and hybrid modes of teaching, instructors have learned many new technologies. These new methods of delivery have helped students to navigate the constraints the pandemic has caused. When other methods of instruction are available, student learning becomes more flexible and opens up different ways of integration into an instructor’s lecture.

They often seek out scholarships and grant funding in order to lessen their financial load rather than taking on additional debt, and one organization in Western North Dakota is helping several Dickinson State University (DSU) students do just that.
