Dr. José-Marie Griffiths was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame (SDHoF) for her outstanding accomplishments in the field of higher education. These accomplishments are a coalescence of her professional drive and lifelong passion for learning.
She has transformed South Dakota since her arrival to the state in 2015 and has moved Dakota State University (DSU) to a new place in the higher education world.
Dr. Griffiths sat down with 2013 Inductee Beacom to discuss the path that brought her to South Dakota and the leadership lessons that have helped her make a lasting impact on the state.
In this episode, you will hear about:
- Dr. Griffiths’ early years and education in London
- The path that brought her to the United States and later to South Dakota
- Important lessons Dr. Griffiths learned during her career
“If there is one thing I can share with the youth [of South Dakota], it is the importance of connections. Maintain connections, and continue to share your life with others. When someone helps you, share your success with them,” said Dr. Griffiths.
