In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, our second featured speaker is Seth Pearman! Seth, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe & alumni of USD Law ‘12, has practiced in a variety areas of law, but is notable for his work in cannabis. We are so excited to welcome him back to campus to hear him speak on this work.
We hope you can join us!
