BROOKINGS, S.D. (KJJQ) – Mary Anne Krogh has been named Dean of South Dakota State University’s College of Nursing. She was appointed following a nationwide search.

She had been head of the nursing program at Mount Marty College in Yankton and President Marc Long says her appointment was not a surprise.

Long says there could be benefits to Mount Marty from the changes.

Long says there is a great responsibility in teaching health care sciences.

Krogh will start her new job at SDSU in July.
