Greetings, All!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! If you are in Rapid City or the surrounding area (or anywhere else that got lots of rain yesterday) that you enjoyed some fun rainy-day activities, like playing board games, doing arts/crafts, or watching your favorite show. 😊 Only a few things happening this week, but don’t miss some of the new job and scholarship opportunities listed below!
Also, if you haven’t already heard, we are phasing out MinesLink and replacing it with a snazzy new platform called Presence or Rocker Central. You can check it out here<https://sdsmt.presence.io/> and get your own profile set up. We’ve built a page for our department, which you can check out here<https://sdsmt.presence.io/organization/nanoscience-biomedical-engineering>. Also, if you are a leader in a student organization, you’ll want to be sure and set up a new page for your organization on this platform soon so that your org is ready to recruit incoming freshmen at the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester! See Cory Headley or Sam Harkin in SLICE for details on how to get your page up and running.
