DSU Starts Fundraising Campaign

Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008

A 32 million dollar fundraising campaign is under way at Dakota State University in Madison.

DSU, one of the premier computer-focused colleges in the nation, hopes to raise $10 million for a new information systems building, $5 million for an indoor athletic center and $17 million for scholarships.

DSU graduates are highly sought. The college has a 98 percent graduate placement rate.

The school has relied on state funding and tuition for 125 years, but it's joining other South Dakota universities in seeking outside funds.
