7
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>with the president of Southeast Technical College. We've got President

8
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Klossman on the line. They've got an amazing program happening

9
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>later today. We'll chat about that in a bit, but first,

10
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 2>thank you for joining me today.

11
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you. It's a pleasure to be with you.

12
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate your time.

13
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk a little bit about this event STC

14
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 2>students to present flags to local emergency responders. That's going

15
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to be today at eleven am. Do you know approximately

16
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>how many flags are going to be presenting today?

17
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we will be giving out flags to six different

18
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>local agencies here in the Suppault area.

19
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I love that and there's a nice presentation of people

20
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>have the ability to get there at eleven am to

21
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>watch this. This would be a really nice thing to watch.

22
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 2>And if you can't make it, I guarantee you of

23
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 2>be able to see some images on social media as well.

24
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 2>And what led up to this. Do you know what

25
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of led the students in the Southeast Tech to

26
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>decide to do this today.

27
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it actually started as a project for our veterans

28
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>where our welding and our collision repair students. We're originally

29
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>creating one flag for a veterans program that we are

30
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>going to sell as a fundraiser and then raffle off

31
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>to somebody who won that. And it just turned out

32
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>so well and it was such a great learning experience

33
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>for our students that the idea kind of built from there.

34
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>That wouldn't it be great if we did this for

35
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>some of our other local agencies as well and gave

36
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 1>it to them as a gift, just as the way

37
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you for everything that they do for

38
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>the community.

39
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I love that that is such a neat thing. And again,

40
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Southeast Technical College and it's always fun because it's southeast,

41
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>but it's on the northwest corner of Sioux Falls, yes,

42
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>but in southeast South Dakota. If you'd like to get

43
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>out there and be a part of the program, it

44
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>is today at eleven am. And like I said, you'll

45
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>also be seeing images on social media. And let's talk

46
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about Southeast Technical College. You guys have

47
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>been around a while, haven't you.

48
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we were founded in nineteen sixty eight. We moved

49
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 1>to our current location here on the northwest side back

50
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>in the early nineteen nineties. So in three years we'll

51
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>be celebrating our sixtieth anniversary here in the suit Falls area.

52
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I love that we used to have an office right

53
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>next door to you guys. We were in the It

54
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>was called the South Dakota Business Technology Center when we

55
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 2>moved in, and then it was known as ZEAL for

56
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>a little while.

57
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

58
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>And again it was always wonderful and it was the

59
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 2>beginning of every year. We'd have students come in there

60
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>looking for classes and I would be like, Ah, this

61
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 2>isn't quite the right building, but you have a wonderful

62
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>campus and a lot of the students that are there

63
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>are are people from this area, but they come from

64
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 2>all over the place, don't they.

65
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>They really do? You know, we have about eighty percent

66
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>of our students come from South Dakota, a lot of

67
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 1>them from the Suit Falls area. But we do have

68
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, with the other four technical colleges, we try

69
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>not to have a lot of overlaps, so we do

70
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>have some programs that are unique to us, some that

71
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 1>are you know, then in multiple campuses across the state.

72
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>So we do draw from you know, from Rapid City,

73
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>from the Pier area, but then also from southwestern Minnesota

74
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>and northwestern Iowa as well, just because we do have

75
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>great programs, we do draw from all over the region

76
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. So we're you know, we're.

77
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Always glad to have them here, absolutely and help.

78
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>That they stay in South Dakota.

79
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>When I graduated, I was going to say, we can

80
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 2>use the people here too in the workforce. So once

81
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you come here and you go to school at Southeast

82
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Technical College and you fall in love with the community,

83
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>hopefully you'll stick around and you know, take one of

84
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>the many jobs that are available in this community as well.

85
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>So thank you for doing what you're doing to bring

86
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>wonderful people to the community. And thank you again for

87
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>what you're doing today. I think this is a really

88
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>neat thing.

89
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it and glad we can help get the

90
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>word out. We would love to have people come to

91
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>campus and help us celebrate today again.
