South Dakota State is a great place to be. The culture and landscape of SDSU is changing dramatically. From a student enrollment surpassing 11,000 to the monumental move to Division I athletics, to the opening of the new Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence, SDSU continues to make faculty, staff, alumni and friends proud to be a Jackrabbit.
Brookings, South Dakota, home of SDSU, is a community of 18,500. The city offers a strong primary and secondary school system; a clean, safe environment; an active community theater; a new ice skating facility; and a family water park. U.S. News and World Report ranks SDSU as a National Research Doctoral Granting Institution in its annual listing. The University earns more research funding than any university in South Dakota with research endeavors including some of the most exciting current work in aviation grade ethanol, renewable fuels, and wind power. SDSU students have extraordinary opportunities to engage in undergraduate research, both on campus and with the prestigious National Institutes of Health. And, the campus is home to numerous Fulbright winners among faculty and students, as well as Truman and Goldwater scholars. The University Student Union completed a total renovation, now offering among other accoutrements student lounges complete with fireplaces, and wireless convenience throughout the building. New state-of-the-art residence halls have opened, and a new wellness facility is under construction. SDSU is also home to the South Dakota Art Museum, the only fully accredited museum in the state to be recognized by the American Association of Museums. The Performing Arts Center with its state-of-the-art Concert Hall with room for 1,000 and its 280-seat Studio Theatre, has become a bragging right not only of SDSU and Brookings, but, arguably the entire region. The State Agricultural Heritage Museum on campus preserves the agrarian heritage of South Dakota while the seventy-acre McCrory Gardens and South Dakota Arboretum provide a beautiful setting for area residents and tourists to enjoy a stroll through one of the most beautiful small ornamental gardens in the nation.
SDSU offers an excellent comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage for the employee, spouse and dependents; life insurance; long-term disability insurance; paid holidays; educational assistance; retirement plans; and a generous vacation accrual and sick day allowance.
