South Dakota Student Federation

The South Dakota Student Federation is a student government organization comprised of representatives from all six public universities.

Each member is elected by their respective campus to represent the students, defend their interests, act as a leader for higher education, and work to develop relationships with university stakeholders. The elected students work through a communication network that enables students, faculty, administration, and staff of public higher education institutions in South Dakota to collaborate effectively with the South Dakota Board of Regents and Legislators.
