A Toast to Students

Students at Bismarck State College can connect with their professors and departments at a brand-new weekly event. The event is Toast Tuesday, and students can attend at a new location each week. This event was organized by BSC Student Engagement Coordinator, Danielle Dolechek.

“This kind of helps the staff professors get to know the students outside of the class too, a little bit,” Dolechek said. “I think it'll help them engage more with students, because it is something outside of the classroom.”

The idea came from an Instagram Reel that showed a similar event organized by a professor that allowed his students to get to know their department and faculty within it.

“This is for students, so it will always be 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.,” Dolechek said. “I will have a travelling island, and I'll bring bread, different toppings for your bread, and a toaster, and we'll just keep toasting. That's why it's called Toast Tuesdays.”

Many BSC faculty and staff expressed their excitement and gave supportive feedback when it came to planning Toast Tuesday.

“It should be fun and hopefully it goes well. If it goes well, we'll do it next semester too,” Dolechek said.

The dates, times, and location of each Toast Tuesday event can be found on flyers around campus.
