Staying Connected to Your University

Once a student, forever an alum. Once a Jackrabbit, always a Jackrabbit!

It's hard to believe, but life after college gets even busier, and staying connected to this place and the people here might be more difficult than you think. Before you ride off into the South Dakota sunset, think of how you can strengthen your link to your alma mater.

Connecting Is Easier Than You Think

As you wrap-up your time as a student, know that your time as a Jackrabbit continues. You are now a part of the largest network of college graduates in the state of South Dakota. Whether you head back to your hometown, relocate to another South Dakota community or explore beyond the 605, you will always be a member of the ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ Family.
