Empowering Stories. Elevating Futures.

Every gift to the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences helps complete the bigger picture — creating meaningful opportunities for students, faculty, and our greater community.

Your support fuels:

• Student Enrichment: From national theater festivals to hands-on civic leadership, your gifts open doors to transformative experiences that tuition alone can’t cover.

• Future Leaders: The Huther Public Service Academy is preparing the next generation of public servants. Your generosity helps expand its national reach and impact.

• Community Impact: Whether it’s designing safer playgrounds with local schools, hosting forums for civic dialogue, or collaborating with the South Dakota Symphony, our college is shaping lives beyond campus.

• Creative Expression: You uplift programs like The Collegian- SDSU's student-run independent newspaper, KSDJ- SDSU's student-run radio station,  Oakwood- the annual literature and arts magazine published at SDSU, Jackrabbits Forensics Team, and student-led performances, building real-world experience and powerful storytelling platforms.

Together, we inspire critical thinking, spark imagination, and drive positive change across South Dakota and beyond. Your gift makes it all possible.
