RAPID CITY, S.D. South Dakota Mines hosts an alumni reunion every five years, but COVID put a halt to that last year.
Still, graduates made it back to the Black Hills, more excited than ever to share stories of their success, thanks to Mines.
Over the weekend, Mines is hosting it’s largest reunion with nearly 11,000 graduates returning to their alma mater.
“If you’d go to talk to our alumni that are here right now and that are coming back this weekend, you’ll hear them say that the school of mines was key in my life,” said reunion o-hair Scott Rausch. “I owe everything to the school of mines, my whole career, the fact that we’re ale to retire, enjoy life while we’re still healthy.”
