On today's In the Moment...

College students in South Dakota have a lot of spinning plates in the air. Their time can be engulfed by coursework, internships and part-time jobs. Plus, it would be nice to have a social life.

This In the Moment episode dives into how students are making it work and how universities can support them when the plates start to fall.

Lura Roti with SDPB meets two University of Sioux Falls students who wrote a research paper on school-work-life balance.

Lori Walsh explores the support systems in place. She talks to Michelle DeHoogh-Kliewer, a mental health counselor at USF, and Nicole Dulaney, director of the USF Academic Success Center.

For a political update, we'll hear a debate on a proposed bill that would guarantee free lunches for all South Dakota K-12 students.

If you're sick of politics, head out on a fly fishing trip with Kevin Woster. He remembers his fishing buddy Don Polovich and a recent trip where he got a dunking instead of a fish.

Plus, a Black Hills chef brings gourmet cuisine to Custer, South Dakota. People questioned the concept when he first opened his doors, but now Skogen Kitchen is full every night. Joseph Raney talks food, gathering and his recent culinary recognition.
