Abstract
The South Dakota State Geography (SDSU) Convention, held annually at South Dakota State University in Brookings, is indeed a unique educational opportunity and event. The faculty of the Department of Geography at SDSU believe that the convention makes major contributions to the discipline, the state of South Dakota and community of Brookings, the university, and particularly to the Department of Geography and its students. This student planned and conducted convention affords students an outstanding educational opportunity. The convention has evolved over a period of fifteen years and continues to grow and change as the program adapts to new opportunities and challenges. The model can and should be duplicated elsewhere to serve students and to enhance the stature of geography and geographic learning at other colleges and universities. The evolution and changes of the convention during its fifteen year history are described with the hope that our experience will be of value to other educational planners.
