You Are a Part of Something Big

Whether we are teaching at the front of a classroom or keeping the university running behind the scenes, each one of us at the University of South Dakota is essential in our collective service to students, the state and our community. The students we support here go on to become the health care professionals, business executives, educators, thought leaders, scientists, lawyers and artists who lead our world. They are shaping the future, and you are a part of that story.

Our Human Resources team works to recruit and retain exceptional individuals who share our values and support our mission. With over 1,200 employees representing every corner of campus, our Human Resources team provides support to cultivate the careers of all our employees through educational and professional development.

In many ways, the actions we take as faculty and staff reflect the best qualities of a liberal arts education; we meet challenges with curiosity, respond to mistakes with increased motivation and welcome others into our community with warmth.
