Back to school has brought life to campuses across the state.
South Dakota State University President Barry Dunn says its good to see….

Dunn says students are happy to get past the pandemic restrictions….

Students now entering universities went through a year or more of online or hybrid classes. Dunn says most want to move away from that type of experience…..

While official enrollment numbers will be released by the Board of Regents later this month, Dunn says he is optimistic about their incoming freshmen class.
