On 9/15/09, Dakota Midday was broadcast live from Augustana College in Sioux Falls. Host Paul Guggenheimer interviewed Cyprian Consiglio, a Camaldolese monk, musician and teacher who sings, composes and plays guitar. He is performing at Augustana on Thursday night and was joined for a couple of songs during the show by Augustana Professor of Music John Pennington. Then Paul spoke with Augustana's Writer-in-Residence Patrick Hicks who was recently named recipient of a 2009 Dakota Creative Connections Grant from the Bush Foundation. He will use the grant to visit Poland to research his forthcoming novel based on the Holocaust. And finally, Paul was joined by Augustana College Assistant Athletic Director Jeff Holm. Augustana has opened a new football stadium and the team has just cracked the (AFCA) Division II Top 25 Coaches Poll.
