2. Theatre and Dane Presents BE
Jackrabbits! Come see a fantastic performance by Theatre and Dance!
Theatre and Dane Presents Be
Through the development of original choreography, students work with the dance ensemble director to develop work that communicates with intention and purpose. Choreographers are free to imagine how the theme “Be” inspires dance composition and provides opportunity for creativity and intellectual discourse.
Performances are Friday, April 11th and Saturday, April 12th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 13th at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets can be obtained online at sdsutheatre.org, at the Box Office in the lobby of the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center beginning one week before the first performance. To reduce wait time, students are strongly encouraged to obtain tickets online prior to the performance through the student portal. SDSU students get in free with student ID!

4. The Justice Challenge
Explore agriculture deeper with The Justice Challenge!
The Justice Challenge
Join students from universities across the United States in exploring the complex issues around sustainable agriculture in the 2025 to 2026 academic year. Collaborating with experts from a variety of fields, you will engage with real social needs and develop your capacity for civic engagement, innovation, and leadership. Each student will enroll in a ten-week online colloquium and a 1-day concluding online conference. Course topics will explore the complexities of sustainable food systems, including regenerative agriculture, soil health, and more.
Coursework is complemented by participating in at least one of three signature experiences: a Design Challenge (semester-long course, in-person); a Hackathon (2-day, online); or a Field Course (1 week, in-person). Students may (but are not required to) register the online colloquium for 2 credits and the Signature Experience for up to 3 credits.
More information on Signature Experiences, schedule, and applications can be found at the link below or by emailing TheJusticeChallenge@outlook.com

Support a great program put on by a club on campus!
Pop Tab Program
Ronald McDonald House Charities, in collaboration with the Political Science Club, is excited to introduce the Pop Tab Program - an easy way to support families facing medical challenges, One Tab at a Time.
What are Pop Tabs?
Pop tabs are found every time you open a soft drink, soup can, and even sometimes on your pet food! These tabs are recycled and converted into cash based on their weight. This cash helps South Dakota families.
How to get Involved
Getting involved is simple! Just remove the pop tab from the aluminum can and place them into our wooden house collection containers!
Where to be Dropped Off
Pop Tabs can be dropped off at either of our campus drop offs:
Briggs Library
The Office of Multicultural Affairs & Accessibility in the Student Union
