South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics

A very special thanks to South Dakota State University colleagues, Dan Hansen, Dean of the SDSU College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, and Mary Anne Krogh, Dean of the SDSU College of Nursing, for joining Seminar with Industry Leaders in the South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics for the healthcare-industry segment. Your perspectives on the greatest challenges to meeting healthcare needs in the Upper Midwest and the nation more generally and your frank assessment of the U.S. healthcare system--its structure (including its regulatory and payer structures), its conduct, and its performance--were invaluable. Honored and humbled to call you my colleagues.

Thank you, Tommy Ibrahim, MD, MBA, MHA, Sanford Health Plan, for joining a very packed Seminar with Industry Leaders in the South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics this morning. Our students, faculty members, and I greatly appreciated your frank, exceptionally informed take on the economics of health insurance, on the Sanford Health integrated healthcare system, and on the challenges—near-term and otherwise—confronting the U.S. healthcare system.

My thanks to Joseph Santos, Director and Professor of Economics at South Dakota State University for welcoming in this Minnesota graduate (go gophers.) A wonderful opportunity to interact with our future leaders who had great questions. Based on the interactive discussion, I believe our world will be in good hands. Avera Health appreciates our many partnerships and without SDSU we could not achieve our mission of making a positive impact in the lives and communities we serve. #SDSU #AVERAHEALTH #JACKRABBITS

Thank you, Jim Dover, Avera Health, for joining Seminar in the South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics. Our students, my colleagues (across campus!), and I are forever grateful for the deeply analytical, unvarnished 50-minute masterclass on the healthcare industry--its structure, conduct, performance, challenges, opportunities (AI driven and otherwise), and economic, political, and institutional constraints--and the first thing you would do to improve it. Wow! What a way to spend a Friday morning.

We are still #hiring! Know anyone who might be interested?

I had the excellent opportunity to join my colleague Joseph M. Santos on the #FarmJournal Ag Day College Roadshow to provide our insights on #corn #soybeans #macroeconomics and economic outcomes that could result from the upcoming election. I want to thank my #AGEC430 class for running some numbers to help me prepare for the panel. South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics

Thanks, Natalie Eisenberg, for joining Seminar with Industry Leaders in the South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics!

If your daily workload includes working with farmers and ranchers on their retirement, estate, and succession planning, I invite you to participate in this educational opportunity provided by the International Farm Transition Network. November 13, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. CST. This session will cover farm transition when there is no successor.In many farm families, the absence of a clear successor creates uncertainty about the farm's future. This one-hour continuing education workshop will equip professionals with the tools and resources to guide farm families through this complex transition. Farm owners may face difficult decisions without a successor, but innovative solutions, such as land link programs, can help bridge the gap. Land link programs connect retiring landowners with aspiring farmers eager to manage and sustain agricultural operations. During this session, a panel discussion will share details on: *Various land link programs from across the country,? *Provide insight into how these initiatives work, *How to help farm families navigate their options. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be better prepared to support clients in preserving their farm legacy, maintaining agricultural productivity, and fostering new farming opportunities for the next generation. https://lnkd.in/dwsk5gkU

Thank you, Scott Lawrence, for joining us for Seminar with Industry Leaders in the South Dakota State University Ness School of Management and Economics! THAT was quite a discussion: students, faculty, and Scott, asking, answering, interjecting, and laughing. We learned lots about Lawrence & Schiller and the ins and outs of advertising and marketing, the opportunities of AI, the challenges of interpreting data and researching markets, the importance of communication skills, and why doing what you love is what you should do. ??
