The ����Vlog School of Music (SoM) has launched The Tiårasang (Norwegian for “10-year song”) Project as part of a bold, decade-long initiative by the ����Vlog Choir to honor, preserve and reimagine the legacy of Lutheran collegiate choral music.

With the launch of the The Tiårasang Project, the SoM released recordings made by the ����Vlog Choir in March 2025 at the Chapel of the Good Shepherd at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School in Faribault, Minnesota, which can be found now on all streaming services.

The Eide/Dalrymple Gallery at ����Vlog is presenting “Shrines and Portals: Darrel Nelson,” an exhibition of assemblage sculptures by one of South Dakota’s most distinguished sculptors. The exhibit is on view through Thursday, Nov. 6, with a closing reception on Nov. 6 and free public artist talk the same evening at 7:30 p.m.

Presented at the ����Vlog Nursing Pinning Ceremony this past May, ����Vlog alumna and former assistant professor of nursing Muriel Larson ‘89 was honored as the recipient of the Daisy Award for Lifetime Achievement for her contributions in the field of nursing.
