In 2002, 14 members attended the National Collegiate 4-H Conference in St. Louis, MO; in 2003 24 members attended the National Collegiate 4-H Conference  in Fort Worth, TX; in 2004 23 members attended the National Collegiate 4-H Conference in Portland, OR; and in 2005, ten members attended the National Collegiate 4-H Conference in Pittsburgh, PA.  These conferences included leadership, workshops, keynote speakers, national and regional business meetings, tours of local museums and attractions, an award banquet, and a national community service project.

During these annual national conferences, delegates were able to participate in numerous leadership activities including workshops by nationally known speakers as well as from Collegiate 4-H members from across the nation.  The delegates then too the ideas they learned during the conferences back to Dickinson State University and their own home communities.  They used the information teach leadership concepts to younger youth.  Delegates also learned from these workshops and utilized the information to grow, personally-enriching their own lives, and creating in themselves a better role model for the youth of today.

During the 2005 National Collegiate 4-H Conference, the DSU members conducted for "Teambuilding/Effective Communication" workshops.  These workshops taught college students new and interesting skills to take back to their clubs and to 4-H'ers in their state.  One of our members, Tina Hirsch, served as the National Action Board secretary.

Fundraising activities included: work at concessions for DSU and Dickinson area athletic events, Herberger's Community Day, and Schwan ice cream.

Examples of 2005 activities include: co-sponsored the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life," participated in Adopt-A-Highway, and sponsored a Plowboy Prom for the DSU students.  Collegiate 4-H members taught sessions for the eight-county Youth Activity Day (including the story of cookies and animal activities) and held "Old McDonald's Farm."

January 2006, six members of DSU Collegiate 4-H traveled to Denver to take on leadership roles at the Western National 4-H Roundup.  March 2006, members co-sponsored Rodeo Night activities for Night Hawks for the DSU students, and April 2006, members taught Ag Olympics sessions at the eight-county Youth Activity Day in New England, ND.

Currently, members are working with South Dakota State University to plan the North Central Regional Collegiate 4-H Conference which will be held in Rapid City, SD, October 20-22, 2006.

It is evident that Collegiate 4-H concentrates on community service learning and leadership.  Members strive to help youth become better leaders, speakers, thinkers, and participate in a wide variety of events.
