More than a decade after his retirement from the Board of Regents, Tad Perry holds the title of longest-serving state higher education executive officer in the nation. He spent 15 years overseeing the state's public universities and founded the South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship. Perry joins us as we meet this year's inductees to the South Dakota Hall of Fame.

We also continue our Meet the Candidate series. This week, we have a conversation with District 16 Senate candidate Jim Bolin
