Creating a Legacy Dakota Roots provides opportunities for BHSU students and alumni D
akota Roots, a web-based program that was started in October 2006 to assist individuals who are interested in career opportunities in South Dakota, has helped over 400 people from 43 states find those opportunities
and relocate to the state. Through
www.DakotaRoots.com over 2,000 people from all 50 states, including many Black Hills State University alumni, have shown interest in moving to South Dakota if given the right career opportunity. Nearly 40 businesses have also expressed interest in starting up or expanding into the state.
Once registered with Dakota Roots, individuals receive one- on-one assistance from program representatives who will work with them to match their skill sets and desired field of interest to current job openings. The SDWORKS job database currently has over 10,000 available jobs. Interested participants can pursue the opportunities directly with the business, and their information remains completely confidential throughout the entire process. Dakota Roots is a joint partnership between the South Dakota Department of Labor, the Office of Governor M. Michael Rounds, and the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. More infor- mation on other workforce development initiatives can be found at

Selling real estate? Think BHSU. Use your real estate to leave a legacy at Black Hills State University.
The ways you can give:
• Take a charitable deduction for the full market value, when you give your property to the BHSU Foundation, and create a named endowment fund.
• You can choose to give a percentage interest in your property to the Foundation now, and keep the remaining proceeds of the sale when you sell.
• Create a trust, using your property, that pays you income for the rest of your life and leaves the principal to the Foundation at a later date.
• You can give your home to the Foundation now, but retain the right to live in it for the rest of your life.
We can help you find a way that fits your situation. Call today.
