SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO) — Former South Dakota governor and now DHS Secretary Kristi Noem will be a commencement speaker at Dakota State University’s graduation ceremony on May 10.
A news release from the school said Dakota State extended an invitation to Noem while she was serving as governor of South Dakota.
“She was asked to share remarks with DSU’s graduates based on her distinguished and ground-breaking career in public service, and her many efforts to support the citizens of the state of South Dakota and the nation,” the release said.
Noem championed the development of DSU’s cyber-security programs and facilities, signing SB 45 that funded multimillion dollar Center for Quantum Information Science and Technology to be built at DSU during her second term as governor.
Tickets are required for general admission bleacher seating in the Fieldhouse; overflow seating will be available in Dakota Prairie Playhouse.
