Good Morning, All!


I hope everyone had a Happy Easter or otherwise enjoyed the 4-day weekend! 😊 It’s back to the grind today as we get closer to the end of the Spring 2022 semester.



Big, belated congrats to BME MS student, Kyle Bergevin, for his recent induction into the South Dakota Mines Leadership Hall of Fame<https://www.sdsmt.edu/Campus-Life/Student-Advancement/Professional-Development-Institute/Leadership-Awards/>!



In other news, our department will be interviewing candidates for new faculty this week and next. If you can make it to their research presentations and/or lunch, we would greatly value your feedback in the hiring process! Details for this week below and attached.



Also, as a heads up, I will be out of the office on Friday because I will be traveling to Denver for the Rocky Mountain Balinese Gamelan Festival<https://www.msudenver.edu/music/events/rmbgf/>, where I will be performing with my band (which is based out of Spearfish). If any of you have Professor Jeff Winter for Trig this semester, he is also in the band. 😊 If you are curious about gamelan, here’s a cool interview<https://listen.sdpb.org/arts-life/2022-03-29/black-hills-gamelan-group-brings-balinese-music-to-south-dakota> that the leader of our band did with SDPB.

There are lots of things happening this week and beyond. Check them out below!
