Adam Dell, a South Dakota School of Mines and Technology student from Rapid City, has been named the Region 5 Representative to the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES).
In this role, Dell is responsible for coordinating the communication between the region's chapters and the national organization. Region 5 includes chapters from Canada, Iowa, Illinois, Upper Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
"I'm very excited to take on this responsibility," Dell, an interdisciplinary sciences major, said. "I hope to raise the profile of our chapter and show that we have active students making an impact on our region."
