On August 11th, a federal district judge ordered the Lyman County Commission to come up with an election plan for November that does not violate the Lower Brule Tribe’s federal voting rights.

Fifty-five South Dakotans are now American citizens. The Sioux Falls Washington Pavilion hosted a Naturalization Ceremony on Friday. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Charles Nail administered the Oath of Allegiance at the ceremony.

The National Science Foundation will give $400 thousand to the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering.  The grant money goes to support student research this summer on the Brookings campus. Students investigated a wide range of hands-on projects.
