From Small College Hoops to Big Time Accomplishments

March 5, 2020

By: Hailey Entze, DSU Heritage Foundation Student Worker

If you spend enough time within educational settings or even on the Internet, you’ve likely watched a TED Talk. These short presentations are intended to share powerful ideas from notable thought leaders with the general public. While TED Talks are focused on a more global approach, there are also TEDx Talks, which are independently organized for specific communities. Fortunately, one of our own alumni, Pierce Brooks, had the opportunity to present a speech for TEDxResedaBlvd regarding his experience and insight on transitioning from athletics to life after sports.

Friends for a Lifetime

November 14, 2019

*Sam Halstengard, Carlie Bowditch, and Alyssa Mutschelknaus*

by DSU student Hailey Entze

Even if you’ve never watched the TV show Friends you know most of the main characters all either live with each other or across the hall. More importantly, they were all friends. Now, picture that same plot but its 2017 and two college girls decide to get an apartment together. The week before classes start another girl, who happens to be attending the same college, moves in next door. Over the course of a few weeks they realize they have a lot in common, including their love of agriculture. How does this series end? They become best friends. Though, for Carlie Bowditch, Sam Halstengard, and Alyssa Mutschelknaus, the story hasn’t ended. Thanks to Dickinson State University they are still very much best friends.

The Former First Lady of Blue Hawk Football

October 24, 2019

by DSU student Hailey Entze

Behind every great football coach is an even greater football coach’s wife. That’s not exactly how the saying goes but maybe it’s how it should. Just ask Susan Biesiot. She will be the first to tell you that she has the utmost respect for any coach’s wife especially since she spent close to 40 years as the wife of the legendary Blue Hawk football coach, Hank Biesiot.

The Next Big Adventure: Herrings Move to China

September 6, 2019

by DSU student Hailey Entze and Seth Moerkerke

Let’s be honest, college is an adventure. A mass of young adults thrown together without parental supervision is bound to be. Thankfully the adventure doesn’t end after graduation. Adventures after college just take a different form, an adventure in “real life”. Which is a perfect way to describe Jared and Sovi Herring’s life after DSU. A life that is taking them across the world to China.

May 1, 2019

by DSU student Hailey Entze and Seth Moerkerke

To most, Jerilyn Wiseman might seem like just an average student. Little do they know that behind the scenes this senior agriculture student from Baker, MT, actually has a busier schedule than most adults. On top of being a student, Wiseman is also on the Blue Hawk Rodeo Team. If rodeo practice and homework don’t keep her busy enough, she added playing the fiddle for the local band Breaking Eight this year.

Written in the Stars

March 25, 2019

by Hailey Entze, DSU Heritage Foundation Student Worker

Falling in love doesn’t always make sense. We fall in love in the most unlikely places and with the most unlikely people. For instance, take Josh and Crystal Askvig. When they first met, they really didn’t like each other. “I thought he was a pompous and arrogant jerk. He thought I was a snobby, stuck up cheerleader,” Crystal stated. Even though they didn’t care for each other, they couldn’t get away from each other either.

One Night at the County Fair

March 22, 2019

by Hailey Entze, DSU Heritage Foundation Student Worker

Chris LeDoux once sang, “Ain’t nothin’ I know of, can make you fall in love, like a night at the county fair.” Which couldn’t be more correct in the case of Brandon Elkins and Acacia “Casey” (Mueller) Elkins, who went to the Roughrider Days Rodeo on their first date. This couple started out as friends until eventually Brandon worked up the nerve to ask Casey out.
