Nancy Wendt Thiex: We'd Recognize Her Anywhere


Nancy Wendt was that math-smart quiet one who rarely made a peep in class, but she went on to become a highly respected professor of veterinary science at SDSU. She was named one of the Outstanding Young Women of America in 1984.

After graduating from Northern State College in 1970, and getting a Master of Education from SDSU in 1972 and a Master of Science there in 1974, she took a job as a photographic chemist at the EROS Data Center north of Sioux Falls.

In two years she was back at SDSU as an instructor, and then she worked her way up as an assistant professor, an associate professor and finally a full professor in the analytical services laboratory of the Veterinary School.

She's been given many distinguished service awards in feed science and veterinary science and has authored several books and academic journal articles.

She's also the mother of three children.
