SGU's campus will only be open this fall to students who have been vaccinated. This means that unvaccinated students will only have the option to take classes that are "fully online" (of which there are over 50 available), will not be allowed on campus for student services, and will participate in registration on Monday, Aug 23 via phone. We know that vaccination is the most important thing we can do to protect our community and we encourage every student to take this step. Since in-person registration will be closed to unvaccinated students, we will be setting up a "phone registration" for "online-only students" on Monday, Aug 23. More details are forthcoming. Additionally, the campus will only be open to vaccinated students for the semester. This means that some student services will not be available (student lounge, library, etc) and others will have to accessed via phone or email (registrar, admissions, financial aid, etc).

Like many around Turtle Island, the family of Sinte Gleska University is reflecting on the life and accomplishments of Lakota holy man, Chief Leonard Crow Dog. His time came to journey to the Spirit World on June 6, 2021. Relatives and friends from all four directions will remember Leonard’s knowledge, leadership and activism in preserving and protecting indigenous beliefs and ways, especially among the Oceti Sakowin and beyond. SGU recognized Leonard Crow Dog with an honorary doctorate degree in Humanities & Lakota Culture for his many contributions. Dr. Leonard Crow Dog will also be remembered as an educator among his many distinctions. He was serving as a member of the SGU Board of Regents at the time of his passing. The extended community of Sinte Gleska University offers its sincere respects and condolences to the family, relatives and friends of Chief Leonard Crow Dog. We know that he and our relatives in the Spirit World will continue to guide us through prayer and ceremony as we all journey through the Circle of Life. Mitakuye oyasin (all my relatives) |
