Do you have any favorite memories of your time as a student attending SMSU?
In general, some of my favorite memories were the friendships I gained during my time as an RA and a Student Center Manager. I keep in contact with a lot of those friends still to this day.
How has your time at SMSU impacted your life and career?
As I look back on my professional career to date, I know that the personal and educational skills I received while attending SMSU was the foundation for it all. The size of SMSU as well as the culture allowed me to gain confidence socially and in my leadership skills. My experience there will be with me forever.
What made you decide to become involved with the SMSU Foundation?
SMSU FOUNDATION MISSION
We exist in order to engage alumni and friends of Southwest Minnesota State University in funding scholarships, projects and activities that benefit SMSU students and support the strategic priorities of SMSU.
Like I was saying, much of my good fortune points back to the opportunities and skills I gained from my time at SMSU. My son also decided to make SMSU his school of choice and I was asked to join around the same time he was starting. I just felt like it was the perfect time to start giving back in some way.
What is the most rewarding experience in working with students, faculty, donors, or alumni through the foundation's initiatives?
Just the fact that we are helping them move forward and enabling them to meet their initiatives. It’s rewarding to watch the cycle of donors and alumni wanting to give back for one reason or another. It’s through this generosity that allows the foundation to directly or indirectly fund many of the student scholarships and faculty’s initiatives.
As an alumnus who is now leading the Foundation, what makes you most proud about SMSU?
It has been rewarding to watch all the growth that is happening between the student enrollment as well as the number of new degrees and programs that are being offered. SMSU has been recognized by the Minnesota State University system as one of the few schools that are still seeing growth while many are declining.
Students have a lot of options to choose from after high school, why is a 4-year degree a good investment and why is SMSU a good choice?
I feel SMSU offers many of the benefits of a private college but at a fraction of the cost.
Why do you think this is a good time for alumni to be involved with SMSU and support the “Run Together, Imagine the Impact” campaign?
I think this is the perfect time because many of the initiatives of the campaign will have a substantial impact for years to come. When you look at the unprecedented growth of SMSU, this campaign is not only a way to facilitate that growth but also a way to continue to upgrade and maintain SMSU as a whole.

WE ARE STRONGER WHEN WE RUN TOGETHER
Our campaign for Southwest Minnesota State University
In 2019, the SMSU Foundation Board of Directors embarked on a mission to significantly enhance the experiences of current and future students. Collaborating closely with President Jayasuriya, they have been promoting and supporting strategic priorities for the university. These efforts culminated in the launch of the “Run Together, Imagine the Impact” campaign for Southwest Minnesota State University.
The ability to attract and retain students as engaged leaders requires investment in distinctive programs, modern facilities, scholarships, and experiential learning opportunities. These priorities for investment will allow SMSU to meet the demands of today’s students and provide them with expanded and relevant educational opportunities for this critical moment. The unprecedented challenges facing all higher education institutions today have contributed to the urgency of these efforts and the noticeable impact they are having at SMSU.
“Run Together, Imagine the Impact,” aims to raise $30 million focusing on four key areas:
• Enhancing Academic Priorities
• Enriching Campus Experiences and Resources
• Expanding Scholarship Initiatives
• Supporting the Southwest Fund and Mustang Athletics
For the past two years, SMSU has been the fastest growing four-year university in the Minnesota State System. This would not have been possible without the investments made by our alumni and community partners and the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff. To date, “Run Together, Imagine the Impact,” has received over $22.5 million in new donations and commitments, already making a real difference in the lives of SMSU students. With the backing of alumni, friends, community members, and businesses, the campaign has achieved several milestones:
• Investments in equipment for new data science and cybersecurity programs
• Funding for supplemental instruction and other student support services
• Establishment of funds for experiential learning opportunities and student travel
• Expansion of business programs, scholarships, and classrooms improvements
• Renovation of common areas in three original residence hall complexes
• Provision of state-of-the-art equipment across various academic programs
• Increased funding for Mustang Athletics
• Received many planned estate commitments that will have a transformative impact for students and programs
These investments have bolstered enrollment growth and student retention by addressing the needs of students. Being student-centered is at the heart of the SMSU mission. These resources have allowed faculty and staff to respond to the needs of students and created opportunities that keep them engaged in their education.
“This campaign is providing the resources necessary for SMSU and it’s students to be successful well into the future,” said President Jayasuriya. “Thanks to the generous support of so many wonderful alumni, community partners, and friends, SMSU now has great momentum and enrollments are increasing. Now is the time to come together to make a difference for SMSU.”
Campaign support has already made an impact on academic spaces. Renovations include several heavily used classrooms (pictured on this page). The SM 169 science lab was equipped with microscopes that allow students to experience new technologies in their research work. Several classrooms in ST used by the North Star Mutual School of Business feature interactive, technology-rich instructional environments and flexible learning spaces for increased student engagement and collaboration.
Since its inception, SMSU has been dynamic, ready to adapt quickly to effectively serve students, employers, and the region. Now more than ever, student motivations for seeking higher education and their expectations of universities are dramatically evolving. Many universities are finding it difficult to meet these ever-changing demands.
“Although many accomplishments have been achieved, there is much more we hope to provide for students, faculty, and staff,” said Associate Vice President Nathan Polfliet. “A few of the things that we still hope to accomplish are to create a four-year nursing program, establish a Center for Rural Health and Wellness, enhance agriculture and food programs and facilities, continue campus renovations, and provide more scholarships and experiential learning opportunities for students.”
“Run Together, Imagine the Impact” will invest in strategic priorities that will enable SMSU to stand out among peer institutions and to better serve today’s students. Our dedicated Mustang family of alumni and friends can truly make a difference by making an investment that will give SMSU the vital resources necessary to provide students with opportunities for success.

The ABILITY TO ADAPT to serve the needs of students, employers, and the region has made SMSU what it is today. Our campaign will invest in STRATEGIC PRIORITIES that will enable SMSU to STAND OUT among peer institutions and to BETTER SERVE today’s students. Our dedicated Mustang family of alumni and friends can truly MAKE A DIFFERENCE by making an investment that will give SMSU the vital resources necessary to provide students with OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS .
SCHOLARSHIPS MATTER
Danny Rogotzke’s Journey of Resilience and Opportunity
SMSU freshman, Danny Rogotzke’s path to college wasn’t the one he originally envisioned. Hailing from Springfield, Minnesota, a small town where blue-collar work runs deep, Rogotzke had always thought he’d follow in his family’s footsteps—into the trades. But an injury in his senior year of high school forever altered the course of his life.
The injury came just as his high school football season was building momentum. Rogotzke, a dedicated athlete and leader in his high school community, tore his ACL, and it wasn’t just physically painful—it shook him to the core.
“I spent all summer building the lifting program at my school, and then that happened,” he recalls. “It was devastating. I tore my ACL, and I didn’t even look like someone who should have gotten injured. It didn’t make sense.”
His curiosity soon turned from sports injuries to the broader question of how the body works.
came to campus for Southwest Scholars Day in January 2024. He interviewed for one of the full-ride scholarships which he ultimately received. He started classes in Fall 2024 and is now in his second semester.
Initially majoring in exercise science, Rogotzke has found a good fit in as a biology major in the medical lab technician program, a “3+1” partnership with Sanford Health. He’ll spend three years completing coursework at SMSU, followed by a yearlong internship at Sanford’s Sioux Falls clinic, a valuable steppingstone toward his goal of becoming a surgeon.
“AT SMSU, EVERYONE GENUINELY CARED ABOUT ME AS A PERSON, NOT JUST AS A STUDENT. ”
Rogotzke’s passion for science grew even stronger after he visited a cadaver lab, where he got a firsthand look at the human body. That experience cemented his decision to pursue a career in medicine and thinking about a career beyond the trades he once thought were his only path.
“I wasn’t planning on going to a four-year school. I thought I’d go to trade school, just like my dad and grandfather did,” he explains. “But after my ACL injury, I started to look into universities. My school counselor encouraged me to consider SMSU, and it really stood out to me. She also mentioned the scholarship that I qualified for.”
When he visited SMSU, Rogotzke immediately felt the difference. The personal touch from staff members made a lasting impression. His decision was further cemented when we
And while the transition to college hasn’t always been easy, but the scholarship he received has alleviated some of the financial pressures. The gift of this experience isn’t lost on him.
“I’m so thankful for the people who make these opportunities possible. Whether it’s a $500 or $20,000 donation, it’s changing lives,” he reflects. “It may not be instant, but this support [from donors] is helping people build a future.”
“The scholarship has been a huge relief, for me and my family,” he says. “It’s allowed me to focus on my education and get more involved with my peers. I don’t have that constant weight of financial stress.”
Though he’s still processing the magnitude of his opportunity, Rogotzke’s gratitude is evident. The accident that once seemed like the worst setback has transformed into the catalyst for a career in medicine—and for a life full of possibility.
“I’m so fortunate to be here, and I can’t express how thankful I am for every opportunity that’s come my way,” he said.

Sheridyn Runs After’s Journey from Reservation to Empowerment
Sheridyn Runs After is pursuing her passions. A member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation, she is currently a junior at SMSU. Runs After is a dynamic force within her academic community, embodying both resilience and ambition as she forges connections between her heritage and her educational pursuits. She hails from Eagle Butte, South Dakota, a small town where opportunities for higher education can often feel distant.
“When I was in high school, not many schools came recruiting on the reservation. It was all very limited.” However, a chance encounter with SMSU during a recruitment visit changed everything. She visited other campuses but the warmth of the SMSU community and conversations with students and faculty opened her eyes to the possibilities here.
Runs After found her way to the criminal justice program and embraced her studies with fervor, while tackling four minors: political science, indigenous studies, literature, and pre-law.
“I really enjoy school and have so many diverse interests,” she explains, a sentiment reflected in her active involvement across campus.
Her passion for social justice and advocacy led her to take on significant leadership roles. She currently serves as the president of three clubs: the Criminal Justice Club, the Social Justice Club, and the Campus Oyate, an organization she is working to revitalize.
“For one of my classes I chose to research missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW),” said Runs After. “I learned so much, not only about myself but also about the epidemic and exactly what it means for women in Indian country. I knew I needed to raise awareness.”
“In my first year with the Criminal Justice Club, I organized a protest to raise awareness about missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW),” she recounts. “That experience made me realize I love bringing people together and using my voice for change.”
In addition to her academics and campus involvement, she is
doing an internship this semester with the Minnesota League of Women Voters in St. Paul, delving into a variety of efforts, mainly research on the engagement gap among Indigenous voters. She has previously researched and coordinated a month of activities to raise awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women. Runs After planned events for Native American Heritage month last November including the REDress Project art exhibit and conversation with artist Jamie Black-Morsette; a presentation by Juliet Rudie of the Minnesota Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office; a screening of “Bring Her Home” a documentary on MMIW; and a visit from Ruth Buffalo, former North Dakota State Representative. She’s planning more events for Sexual Assault Awareness month in April as well as this year’s Native American Heritage Month.
“It’s all about creating the feeling that we’re not alone here,” she emphasizes. “When you feel a sense of belonging, it empowers you to pursue your passions and advocate for what matters.” She credits Michele Knife Sterner, Jay Lee, and Amanda Sieling for seeing the potential she didn’t see in herself and encouraging her to get involved.
She reflects on her own transformation and shares that advice. “I realized the biggest barrier I’ve ever put up was my own. I knew I could do anything when I learned to stop holding myself back,” she said. “I’m grateful for the relationships I’ve built and the support I’ve received. I’ve made a ton of connections but just finding your community and sticking with those people that stick with you is like the best thing ever.”

ENHANCING ACADEMICS
School of Education Model Education and Professional Development Space
The SMSU School of Education is preparing to launch the newly renovated spaces in the Individualized Learning building on campus. The Model Education and Professional Development Space (Model Ed Space) is a state-of-the-art learning environment that is comparable to E-12 (early childhood to high school) educational spaces.
“SMSU teacher candidates can collaboratively engage in teaching practices with colleagues and with learners during hands-on programming with school partners and area E-12 learners,” said Dr. Sonya Vierstraete, Professor of Education and Department Chair. “We are grateful to have this newly-renovated space to highlight the importance and impact of teacher education at Southwest Minnesota State University and the surrounding communities.”
The Model Ed Space was developed thanks to combined funding from a monetary gift from James “Ted” Rowe, retired professor of mathematics who passed away in June 2024; generous donations through the SMSU Foundation of classroom furniture from Jonti-Craft, and grant funding from Minnesota Tele-Media.
The Model Ed Space will enhance the existing Teacher Preparation Program by integrating innovative techniques, such as video analysis, teacher modeling, coached rehearsals, and simulated student interactions. This hands-on approach will provide dynamic learning experiences for both teacher candidates
and students and is designed to attract a diverse group of future educators.
Local students may participate through educational field trips or after-school programs, which may also include tutoring support. The project aims to offer valuable field experience in subjects like social studies and science, helping candidates gain the practical skills necessary for effective teaching. Ultimately, the Model Ed Space will serve as a crucial resource for developing skilled, diverse educators to meet the regional and state needs.

BEFORE AFTER
A New Monument on Campus
The new Welcome Walkway was brought to life on October 9, 2024, just in time for SMSU’s Homecoming weekend. The walkway features large metal fabricated “SMSU” 3-D letters, measuring six feet tall and nearly 24 feet wide and is located on the south side of Founders Hall. The Welcome Walkway serves as a landmark and photo opportunity for the Southwest Minnesota State University community and all visitors to the campus.
Alumnus Jack B. Suedbeck was instrumental in bringing the project to fruition with his generous donation. A Marshall native, Suedbeck earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering
technology from SMSU in 1973, following an associate degree in 1971. His recent donation is part of his ongoing support for various projects at SMSU.
The project also received in-kind support from Bend Rite Fabrication and a monetary contribution from Tyler Bowen ’95, with local businesses like D & G Excavating and Doom & Cuypers Concrete assisting in the foundation work. Key SMSU staff, including Tim Schrunk, Jeff Jennings, and Tony Nubile, were instrumental in making the project a reality.

LEAVING A LEGACY IMPACT
At 103, Lois Widmark is SMSU’s oldest living alumna and still making her mark on SMSU. She was born in White Owl, South Dakota on Jan. 1, 1922. She was a member of the 1971 charter class receiving her elementary education degree in 1971 and worked a teacher in Lake Benton for more than 20 years before retiring.
To honor her passion for teaching and to leave a lasting legacy for her at SMSU, her family is building an endowed scholarship in her name. The Lois Widmark Education Scholarship will support upperclass education majors engaged in student teaching.
Her son Alan knew the importance of scholarships from his own time at Southwest. That along with his mother’s story—a non-traditional student, a full-time working teacher, and determined student— inspired him to reach out to the SMSU Foundation to put the scholarship into motion. The endowed scholarship will serve to honor his mother’s passion for teaching, to support future teachers coming out of SMSU’s Education Program, and to allow Lois Widmark to make an impact at SMSU for many years to come.
Widmark has three children: Dianne Bunjer, Alan Widmark and Jackie Dombek. Lois, Dianne, and Alan were all students together at Southwest for a short time. Lois completed her degree by taking night classes and courses in the summer. Alan played football for the first Mustangs team in 1968, and Dianne graduated with an elementary education degree in 1973.
Scholarships can make a world of difference for students at all stages of their college journey. Whether it’s planning for college as a high school senior or preparing for what comes after a bachelor’s degree, the cost of their college education weighs heavily on the minds of students.
The SMSU Foundation plays an important role in the financial equation for student aid offers. Through scholarships, grants and other award programs, 90% of SMSU students receive some type of financial aid. It’s just one of the ways SMSU is providing students with a future they can afford.
The SMSU Foundation awarded 1,098 scholarships totaling $1,351,533 to students last year alone. With support from our incredible donors, the number of students and the financial impact only continues to grow.
