All employees at South Dakota State University will eventually be asked a question that begins with, “how do I find … ?” It’s important to be a source of knowledge for campus visitors, and come to the rescue if an individual is lost or just needing some help.
The easiest way to set yourself up for success in that situation is by learning how to navigate campus yourself. Take a tour and know how to find the campus map online.
Call the SDSU Admissions Office at 605-688-4121 to schedule a tour with an Admissions Ambassador. A team of dedicated students serve as yearly ambassadors and are experts in knowing the lay of the land. Additionally, ambassadors have an inside view into the messaging that is important to students and their families.
