1200 S. Jay St. Aberdeen, SD 57401-7198 northern.edu Nonprofit Organization U.S. Postage PAID Aberdeen, South Dakota Permit No. 77 THE NSU FOUNDATION is excited to host the second annual GiveNDay, NSU’s annual day of giving, on April 6, 2022. Starting at 9 am, this 24-hour challenge is designed to inspire all supporters of Northern State to come together to provide essential funding to all areas across the University, including the College of Arts and Sciences. Friends, family, alumni, and donors are all encouraged to donate on April 6 on the GiveNDay website, www.givingday. northern.edu. As more people give, the impact increases; generous supporters of the College of Arts and Sciences have already pledged to give matches and challenge grants that will be unlocked once certain milestones have been met. Join us as we celebrate Northern State University. SUPPORT NSU on GiveNDay STAFF RETIREMENT Linda Richards Retires LINDA RICHARDS has been a secretary at NSU since 1992 and is retiring in May. She started out in the Registrar’s office and moved to the Science and Math Department in 1995. When Linda started, secretaries registered students for their classes, and she enjoyed visiting with students during that process. That task eventually was assigned to advisors, but many other tasks were added over the years. This included entering schedules, overseeing budgets, and processing orders for grants and labs (which takes a significant amount of time in the sciences). She has also supervised about 25 work-study students over the years. The annual science fair and math contests took up a considerable amount of Linda’s time beyond the normal workday, and due to her organizational skills and experience, both events function like welloiled machines. The Science and Math Department has grown considerably since Linda started. There were seven science and four math faculty in 1995; now there are eleven science faculty and five math faculty, plus a professional advisor and lab manager. This is a large group of people to manage, and Linda has done a wonderful job of keeping us all in line. We all will miss Linda dearly, and we wish her all the best for her well-deserved retirement. #OneDayOnePack givingday.northern.edu APRIL 6 7, 2022 @NorthernStateUniversityFoundation @nsufoundation @alumniNSU
