Anpetu Was’te – good morning in the Lakota language. This month’s Lakota word is Ptanyetu - the definition is fall or autumn.  As I said in last month’s blog, summer is almost over and fall is around the corner.  I look forward to the fall and personally, it is my favorite time of the year. 
Well, we just celebrated our 46th Graduation commencement and it was great.  We also celebrated our SGU 35th Annual GED commencement.  This year we had a total of 69 graduates, which consisted of 5 Masters, 16 B.A.’s, 41 A.A.’s, 9 – 1 year certificates and 14 GED certificates.  It was awesome to see so many graduates.  I am already looking forward to next year’s commencements.
Along with our graduation, it was also our Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s 142nd annual fair celebration.  So, our people and people in our surrounding communities had a lot of fun and exciting things to attend after our big graduation.
The campus is back in session as our fall/winter classes have begun.  The campus is hopping and it so great to be able to be a part of the Sinte Gleska University family.  We try very hard to help each and every student in the college endeavors.
I wanted to remind all of our readers that the Graduation commencement was live-streamed and you view it on website.  Also remember that stay tuned on our website for live streaming, classes offered, and do not forget we host the Northern Plains Indian Art Market.  The Art Market will be begin September 27, 2018.  Go to www.NPIAM.org for more information.
Reminder:  Go to our web site and check out the current events, news and upcoming events and you can also go to the you tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/sintegleskautube/featured .
And, as I stated above please remember that you can also check our SGU Foundation Giving Page http://www.sgufoundation.org/ and remember that we also have our own Facebook page and my blog.
See you next month and please remember to watch for Sinte Gleska Updates and News on our Website.
Wopila Tanka!
(A big thank you)

     What Our Donors Are Saying

 “We had a wonderful time there visiting the facilities, visiting the students, visiting the teachers. And it’s very exciting because this year they were able to, through our fundraising, shore up the idea of bilingual education, so they have these little ones learning Lakota and English simultaneously. This seems to be a very central piece to the spirit of the tribe, that the numbers of fluent Lakota speakers have dwindled, which is not a good feeling for the spirit and psyche of the Lakota. So bringing in this very youngest generation and being able to educate them in a bilingual environment is a very hopeful and very progressive thing to do.”
