Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken.

On today's In the Moment...

Northern State University is rolling out a new way to flaunt your skills: Micro-credentials. Joshua Citrak is the director of innovator empowerment at NSU and explains what a micro-credential is, why it matters and how you could get one.

We head to another state institution for a look at the value of the traditional college degree. South Dakota State University's President Barry Dunn and recent graduate Kailee Schultz join with a cost-benefit analysis.

Lori Walsh stepped into Mayor Paul TenHaken's office to discuss the economic viability and sustainability of Sioux Falls' future. With the possibility of a looming recession, can the city keep pace with its recent growth?

They also discussed its revised sustainability plan. Critics said the edited version is a toothless version of the original. The mayor talks about why it was revised and why he wants everyone to have a seat at the table during climate change talks.

Kevin Woster returned to the Rapid Creek riverbank to count fish. He joins us with an update on the wild brown trout story from last December.

Plus, Calvin Jones is returning to his roots in Pierre. The pianist is back in South Dakota for a concert series benefitting Ukrainian refugees.
