South Dakota School of Mines unveils upgraded Veterans Resource Center
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – South Dakota Mines is making it a priority to take care of their student veterans.
The school held a ceremony Monday to unveil its newly renovated Rich and Trudy Wells Veterans Resource Center.
The renovations are part of the Surbeck Center’s expansion project, providing students access to needed facilities and resources.
Trudy and Rich Wells made a generous donation of $1 million towards the center.
The center will serve as a resource for veterans who will have access to math and writing tutoring, help in writing cover letters, and resumes and scholarship search assistance.
”Veterans have a unique experience, and this will provide a place for them to get together with, you know, with people that kind of understand what they’re going through and have been through,” said the Director of the Veteran Resources Center for the South Dakota School of Mines Derek Flom.
Flom added the school is thrilled to open the center right at the start of the 2024-2025 school year.
Deanna Lien also donated to help with facility upgrades.

Families in South Dakota work hard. We sacrifice a lot and ask very little from the people who govern us. We expect honesty, careful budgeting, and leadership that puts our interests above politics.
In his recent budget address, our governor painted an incomplete picture. He celebrated good results but did not explain what and who made those results possible. South Dakotans deserve more than selective storytelling. We deserve the truth.
