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.

Perspective from the Perch: President Easton reflects on 2020 at DSU

January 6, 2021

Written by Steve Easton, president of Dickinson State University (DSU)

In a letter to John Hay, American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, London, on June 7, 1897, Theodore Roosevelt penned a phrase embracing the virtues of a strenuous life, where one dares mighty things in the face of adversity.

The year 2020 was the beginning of a new decade. Thus, the year dawned with hope. Soon thereafter, this hope was challenged by a worldwide pandemic. As the year progressed, the word “unprecedented” was used commonly in the world as a whole and at DSU.

But DSU is indeed a place where we dare mightily in the face of adversity. It has been heartwarming to see the hard work of all involved with DSU in response to the challenges of 2020. Thank you to all, from alumni and other supporters to students, who made 2020 memorable in positive ways. Those of us who love DSU have a lot to be proud of, as our “college on the hill” has had many accomplishments this year, despite the pandemic. I’d like to share a few of them.
