Bischoff, who has served as a Community Prevention Advisor for universities in western South Dakota since early 2024, will now lead the Student Programs Department as Student Programs Manager.

Bischoff is stepping into the spot that was vacated by Carrie Jorgensen, who assumed the role of Executive Director last month.

“Lost&Found has an incredible Student Programs Team, and I cannot wait to continue to work with our team and campus partners to enhance and expand our programming,” Bischoff said.

Lost&Found offers two key programs at the postsecondary institutions it serves: Peer2Peer Mentorship (which brings together student mentors, who get guided practice helping others, with mentees, who are students who need a little support navigating college life) and Campus Chapters (which are recognized student organization affiliates where student leaders support peers, create connections, and partner with local leaders to prioritize mental health and suicide prevention in their campus communities).

“The work we do is truly life-changing, and I love working with a team that can extend that reach, build skills in our young people, and truly leave a mark in our communities.”
