INTRODUCTIONS

International Student Orientation has begun. And we are so excited that YOU ARE HERE. Of all the places in the world, we think South Dakota State University is pretty great. Over the next few days, you will attend sessions and participate in activities to prepare you for life at SDSU. Get to know the International Affairs staff (that’s us!) because we are here to help you navigate your time at SDSU. Diplomats will help you become familiar with campus and show you around the Brookings community. They are your go-to people for questions about student life and getting involved.

Welcome to South Dakota State University!

All of our services and activities are intended to help enrich your experience and expand global engagement for students, faculty and staff at SDSU.
