History
David Pearson earned a law degree from the University of South Dakota and returned to South Dakota State University in 1957 as an Assistant Professor of Economics. In 1959, President Briggs appointed him Special Assistant to the President, a role in which he continued to teach and was promoted to Professor in July 1965. In 1973, he was named Vice President for Administration, formalizing responsibilities he had largely been fulfilling since 1959. Pearson also led the Greater State Fund, which later evolved into the SDSU Foundation. He retired in August 1980 and passed away on July 10, 1990.
