Episode 9: Stephanie Herseth Sandlin

President, Augustana University

After being the first in her family to earn a law degree, Herseth Sandlin was the first woman in South Dakota elected to Congress. Today, she can be found on the campus of Augustana University, serving as the university’s first female president. Herseth Sandlin’s life work reflects a value of education instilled at a young age by her grandparents and a desire she shares with her father and grandparents to serve the state in government and leadership roles.
