The Alumni/Foundation House will feature:  

  • More than 4,000 square feet with a breathtaking view of Dickinson State’s main campus including King Pavilion and May Hall.
  • The Great Room/Lobby Area will serve as a place for alumni and friends to gather, reconnect, reminisce, and rediscover memorabilia from their University days. This area offers a Prairie Style décor, an inviting fireplace area, and room for socials and receptions.
  • The Conference Room will host many university, community and regional meetings enhanced by state-of-the art technology for audio/video presentations.
  • The Phonathon Technology Center will house the computerized solution for Foundation Annual Fund solicitation and will be available for other non-profit groups within the community to utilize for their fund raising needs.
  • The Gardens will host outdoor socials and gatherings in a beautifully landscaped terrace area.
  • The Director, Coordinator of Annual Giving, and Administrative Offices, as well as the Workroom Area, will serve as the heart of the daily operations of the Alumni and Development staff as they support the alumni and friends of Dickinson State University.

The Foundation requests your serious consideration to assist with this funding opportunity, as it will provide a lasting impact for all who visit the campus—potential and current students, alumni, friends, and dignitaries. The Alumni/Foundation House will serve as a home for the Alumni Association and Dickinson State University Foundation offices, as well as a place for thousands of alumni to reconnect with the University. You are encouraged to step forward with a gift to this exciting project and be a part of our evolution.
