ABERDEEN, S.D. (Press Release) – A new partnership between Northern State University and Dacotah Bank will guarantee a personal interview for graduates of the NSU Banking and Financial Services program.

Starting this winter, all students graduating from Northern’s Banking and Financial Services program – undergraduate or graduate, online or on campus – will be guaranteed an interview at one of Dacotah Bank’s locations.

NSU President Dr. Tim Downs said this collaboration is a win-win for both parties.

“Dacotah Bank has always been a strong community partner for Northern,” Downs said. “I’m thrilled that we’ve found a way to strengthen that relationship while benefitting our students and enhancing the regional workforce.”

Dacotah Bank President Robert Fouberg agrees.

“I echo Dr. Downs’s assessment of the relationship between Dacotah Bank and Northern State University. Our partnership has yielded dozens of great employees for the bank, including several of our most senior managers, and I look forward to the opportunity to hire many more.”
