Dean Simpson Announces Impending Retirement
Dr. Pat Simpson, dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, will retire in June 2016. Simpson came to BHSU
as a faculty member in August 2005. She will have completed 11 years at BHSU, including five years as Dean of the College
of Education and Behavioral Sciences, when she retires in June. When Simpson began at BHSU, she taught undergraduate
and graduate education courses, primarily in the Reading Specialist program. She also directed the Paraprofessional
Education grant that enabled employed paraprofessionals to complete associate degrees and move toward teacher
certification. She became Graduate Coordinator for education programs in 2007 and added responsibilities as college
Assessment Coordinator in 2008. Simpson served on the steering committee for the NCATE accreditation visit in 2011. She
was selected to serve as Dean in June 2011. “I sincerely thank Dr. Pat Simpson for her dedication and commitment to
BHSU students and faculty,” Dr. Rod Custer, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, said. “Her extensive
knowledge, visionary outlook, and constant professionalism have made a huge impact on the continued success of the
College of Education and Behavioral Science. She will be missed and I wish her well in retirement.” A national search will
be conducted to select a new dean.

Geek Speak and Food Drive
Nov. 19 | 4:00pm | Jonas 110
Join us Thursday at 4:00 in Jonas 110 for Drs. Trenton Ellis and John Alsup's Geek Speak: "Perspectives on Hunger" Dr.
Ellis’s lecture will target domestic food insecurity in the 21st century. The USDA estimated that about 14.3 percent of
American households were food insecure in 2014. This translates to about 17.6 million households in the United States or
around 49 million people who did not have enough to eat. In a country where one popular restaurant chain has stuffed tiny
hotdogs into the crust of their large pizzas, why do so many people still struggle with accessing food? Dr. Ellis is a rural
sociologist with a research focus on food and agriculture. In this brief talk he introduces some information on the state of
hunger in the United States and what is being done to reduce domestic food insecurity. Dr. Alsup will address perspectives
on world hunger. Based on his teaching mathematics in Tanzania and other experiences in the developing world, he will
offer some perspectives on world poverty and hunger. We will be collecting nonperishable food items and monetary
donations at this Geek Speak to benefit the Spearfish Food Pantry and the BH Student Pantry. Please consider donating if
you are able. Thank you!
