SIOUX FALLS, S.D.–U.S. Congressman Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., will deliver the keynote address at Southeast Technical College’s Fall 2024 Commencement Ceremony on Dec. 13 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center.

“Southeast Technical College is honored to welcome Congressman Johnson as our keynote speaker. His commitment to practical, career-focused initiatives aligns with our mission to support the workforce efforts of our region,” said STC President Cory Clasemann. “We look forward to his insights on leadership and resilience, which will undoubtedly inspire our graduates as they take the next step in their professional journeys.”

There are more than 200 students that will receive their associate degree, diploma or certificate at the ceremony, which is higher than normal for a fall commencement. For the 2023-24 academic year, STC conferred 1,001 total awards in the fall, spring and summer semesters.

“I’m honored to join Southeast Technical College to celebrate their fall graduates,” said Johnson. “I know STC has prepared their students well for success in the workplace and I look forward to seeing how these graduates impact South Dakota’s communities and economy.”
