May 10, 2025 marks the 139th Commencement at South Dakota State University. More than 1,700 graduates will walk across the stage, ready to take the next step in their careers. This year, the ceremonies return to campus — inside the newly renovated First Bank & Trust Arena. After rotating through five different locations over the past seven years, commencement is back on campus to stay.
But pulling off an event of this size takes more than just a great venue — it takes months of planning, a campus-wide committee and one person leading the charge. Jamison Lamp, SDSU’s university event coordinator, joins us to share what it takes to organize such a massive celebration. From seating charts to speaker lineups, we’re diving into the details, the challenges and the joy of bringing this milestone moment to life. Campus couldn’t be more excited to bring this tradition back home.
