President’s Leadership Academy
South Dakota Mines, Rapid City, South Dakota
Nathan Sattler is one of 10 students named to this year’s President’s Leadership Academy at South Dakota Mines university.
Launched last year by former Mines President Jim Rankin, Ph.D., P.E., the year-long leadership development program exposes students to the skills, insights and perspectives that define an effective leader. The program is anchored by a CEO speaker series in October, November, February, and March, as well as exclusive dinner conversations between the speakers and students. The academy also includes engagement with government officials in a visit to the state capitol during the legislative session, networking with campus community and alumni leaders, and conversations and lessons on leadership.
To be considered for the President’s Leadership Academy, student applicants had to submit a cover letter, current resume, and recommendation letter from a South Dakota Mines faculty or staff member. Sattler has been involved in many campus organizations and activities, including being the student senator for the freshman class and a member of the university’s radio club.
