Noon Forum- The Coming Collapse of Our Civilization
William Butler Yeats talked about the early years of the 20th century as a time when things were falling apart, a time when the best lacked all conviction and the worst were filled with passionate intensity. Are we approaching such times today? Is civilization about to collapse around us? And, if so, what’s the best way to face such a world? At this forum, Ken Blanchard, emeritus professor of political science, will discuss the indications we might be headed toward civilizational collapse and suggest strategies of dealing with catastrophes ranging from hyperinflation to nuclear war to the Zombie apocalypse. Join us for what should be a passionate and intense presentation.
The Noon Forum is in the NSU Beulah Williams Library Round Room and is free and open to the public.

Noon Forum - What's in the Governor's Budget?
The Noon Forum for Wednesday, December 9, 2026, will be presented by Julie Johnson. Johnson is a regular at the SD Legislature advocating for issues of concern to NE South Dakota and NSU. She is in the Appropriations Committee almost every day. The 2027 Legislative Session really kicks off when the Governor gives his Budget Address on December 1, which is his proposed budget. This conversation will outline what the Governor is proposing in areas of interest to us, so we can understand it and follow along when the Legislature begins on January 12, 2027.
