South Dakota Mines Center for Alumni Relations and Advancement

Over 1,200 students this past year benefited from receiving a scholarship, making it possible for them to focus on their education rather than paying for school. Andrew Black got to meet the donors of his scholarship, Dave and Bonnie Berg, and explained to them how much it meant to him and how helpful it was for him to receive this scholarship. #NewHeights
