BROOKINGS – South Dakota State University is featured in season four of “The College Tour,” a TV series that is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Hosted by “The Amazing Race” season-two winner Alex Boylan, “The College Tour” was created to empower high school students to virtually tour colleges across America from the comfort of their own homes.
SDSU’s episode, which can also be seen on http://www.sdstate.edu/thecollegetour and https://www.thecollegetour.com/episodes/south-dakota-state-university/, highlights the campus and overall culture from the students’ perspective. From academics to sports to college traditions, viewers can virtually visit South Dakota State as they’re making the important decision of where to apply and finally, where to attend. “The College Tour” makes viewing life as part of the Jackrabbits family accessible to all possible candidates.
Ten individuals, ranging from students to alumni, take time to talk about what makes SDSU a place to visit and attend.
“Hearing what makes South Dakota State University special through the eyes of actual students is important to all of us at State,” said Mike Lockrem, director of University Marketing and Communications. “We have heard from many students about how important a campus visit was when deciding on where to attend, so furthering the opportunity to showcase SDSU is a great opportunity. We know the college search process is changing, and it’s important to reach prospective students where they are today.”
Boylan, executive producer and host, said “Selecting a college is a monumental decision in a young person’s educational journey and this episode will give prospects a firsthand look at what makes South Dakota State University’s culture so special. And most importantly the story of the college is told through the authentic lens of its students.”
