Opportunity for all
Supporting Success
Each student at DSU deserves to be recognized as an individual and made to feel they belong. By providing opportunities for all, DSU supports learning, study, exploration, scientific discovery, and academic freedom.
Just like Dakota State University’s logo – the Hexagon D – the hexagonal element serves as the building block for the Opportunities for All initiative. The hexagon represents our institution’s sense of community and unity. The hexagon is the strongest shape found naturally in the universe, and our opportunities are built strong because each student deserves to be recognized as an individual and made to feel they belong here and will be supported here.
Trojan Zone Welcome Center & Spirit Store
The Trojan Zone, DSU’s Spirit Store & Welcome Center, serves as the “front door to campus.” This friendly spot on campus is the place to shop for Trojan fan gear, apparel, and more. The Trojan Zone will serve as a physical contact point and resource hub for students, alumni, and friends of DSU, as well as community members, and partners.
