The Distinguished Speaker Series brings accomplished leaders, innovators and changemakers to campus to share their success stories with students, alumni, faculty and industry leaders from across the region.

“The Beacom School of Business is building something extraordinary, a program that combines business, data and agricultural leadership in a way that is uniquely suited to this moment,” said Lindberg. “These are students who understand agriculture from the ground up and, with the tools, training and values this program gives them, they are going to make a real difference for rural communities across this country and around the world.”

Lindberg's discussion highlighted his professional journey, leadership in his current role and the key priorities and issues he is focused on today. He also emphasized USD’s role in preparing future leaders.

“America feeds the world, and the next generation of leaders who will help make sure we always do are being trained right here at USD. I am grateful to President Gestring, Dean Beckmann and the entire USD community for the warm welcome. I have no doubt these students are ready for what comes next.”
