In its ongoing quest for excellence, Western Dakota Tech (WDT) is honored to announce it was selected as a finalist for a national award recognizing best practices in community colleges.

In this, WDT’s first time applying for a coveted Bellwether Award, the college was named one of 10 national finalists in the category of Planning, Governance and Finance for its submission, “Using Data-Driven Decisions to Grow Enrollment.” The Planning, Governance and Finance category of the Bellwether Awards recognizes programs or activities that improve efficiency and effectiveness in the community college.

Western Dakota Tech congratulates the 224 students named to the Fall 2019 Dean's List. To qualify, students must earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

The Dean's List begins with South Dakota students followed by additional states.

Western Dakota Tech Plumbing Technology program students, under the guidance of Program Director Walter Cline, are contributing their skills and labor on the Love INC of the Black Hills new building construction project. The new Love INC building is located at 414 E. Omaha St.  

Cline’s students have been working on the drain waste and vent system on a couple of bathrooms. Some of the work has been challenging, as they have had to work on lifts 15 ft. above ground to attach hangers for vents to steel bar joists.
