Forty-seven students demonstrated exceptional skills in communication courses at Dickinson State University (DSU). These students were awarded the Recognition of Excellence in Communication by the Office of Academic Affairs following the spring 2022 semester.

“Communication skills are often the key determinant of a successful professional career,” said Debora Dragseth, provost and vice president at DSU. “Employers tell us they appreciate that Dickinson State University places emphasis on effective verbal and written communication skills.”

The Recognition of Excellence in Communication is awarded to students who have earned an A or B grade in College Composition I and II (ENGL 110 and 120) and Fundamentals of Public Speaking (COMM 110) over the course of their collegiate career. This accolade is published to the students’ Merit Pages accounts, allowing them to share their prowess in written and spoken communication with potential employers.

On March 24-26, the DSU chapter of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) traveled to Bismarck for the North Dakota Music Educators Association (NDMEA) annual conference.  

The NDMEA conference is a great way for DSU NAfME members to experience what music teachers do outside the classroom. DSU students were able to participate in professional development alongside expert educators and attend rehearsals and concerts for the ND All-State music groups. These future music educators also spent time connecting with other collegiate NAfME members, industry representatives, and music education insiders.

DSU NAfME students shared that they look forward to another fun and educational NDMEA conference in 2023, where they will promote music on campus, interact with local music teachers, and participate in professional activities in their field of study!
