Athletics
Be a part of something great, be a Trojan
When you’re a part of DSU athletics, you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. You are:
Dedicated. Determined. Disciplined. Distinctive.
These words capture the essence of our student-athletes. They demonstrate the characteristics of Trojans both on and off the field. Because, as a Trojan, you get the chance to play your heart out in the sports you love. You create friendships to last a lifetime. You’re able to work on yourself physically and mentally.
Throughout our 13 DSU Trojan NAIA athletic teams, we, much like our Trojan ancestors, demonstrate sought-out characteristics. Trojans are well-trained, well-equipped, and face challenges head on.
“The mission of Dakota State University Intercollegiate Athletics is to provide a positive, quality athletic experience that will develop student athletes intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. Our athletic program is broad based and strives for excellence in all sports.”
Trojans Unite Campaign
When Trojans come together, we become Trojan strong. Trojans Unite is a campaign designed to engage committed alumni, friends, and dedicated community leaders of DSU, to raise private funds that will advance DSU Athletics and athletic facilities.
Trojan Athletic Club (TAC)
TAC was created to raise athletic scholarship dollars and enhance game experiences for both our athletes and our fans. The support of the TAC has made it possible for our student-athletes to continuously excel in the classroom and reach new heights in competitions. As a member of TAC, you’ll have the unique opportunity to continue the success of our athletes.
