DSU LADY T'S PLAY IN NAIA DIVISION II TOURNAMENT

The Lady T's women's basketball team has completed its most successful season in a decade.  The 1999-2000 squad shared the last SDIC title with S.D. Tech, compiling a 10-4 conference mark.  Then, in the SDIC post-season tournament, DSU posted wins over Mt. Marty (79-61) and S.D. Tech (79-71).  This is the first SDIC tournament championship for DSU since a change in playoff formats in 1995.  With this win, the Lady T's gained their first ever automatic bid to the NAIA Division II National Tournament in Sioux City, IA, and the road grew longer. 
Receiving an 11^th seed, DSU found its first obstacle in the National Tournament in  St. Thomas Aquinas (N.Y.).  Aquinas finished the regular season 18-6 and was the number one three-point shooting team in the country.  Their shooting guard, Jackie DeNuzzo, was also the nation's leading three-point shooter.  With a stifling defense, strong post play, and dominating rebounding, DSU posted a 74-55 win.  Sheila Haack led the Lady T's with 22 points on 9-10 shooting from

PLACEMENT SUCCESS AT DSU

Dakota State University officials report a record-setting 97% overall placement success for the Class of 1999. Several areas reported 100% placement: Computer Science, Information Systems, English for Information Systems, Elementary Education/Special Learn

ing Behaviors, Health Information Management, Respiratory Care, and Business Management. Business Administration was close behind, at 94%.
"Candidates with technology related degrees are undoubtedly the most sought after group of graduates and continue to

prompt competition among employers. The competition has gotten so intense that employers are scurrying to schedule on-campus recruiting visits eight months prior to graduation."  said Marie Lohsandt,

Placement Rates…..
(Continued from page 1)Director of Career and Placement Services at DSU.
According to Lohsandt, the highest average salary was reported in the Computer Science area at $46,900. The overall average salary for the Class of 1999 was $25,931.
"There is no doubt that the market for new college graduates with technical skills remains strong. With the healthy economy and continued low unemployment, we expect that employers will actively be scouting DSU's campus for their new wave of employees," said Lohsandt.

Although target projections for the Master of Science in Information Systems at Dakota State University were set for 20 students a year, the program has experienced phenomenal growth in its inaugural year. As of last spring, sixty-five students were admitted to the program, including both full and part time students.
"I was surprised at how many students wanted to be full-time. I originally thought the program would be made up of mostly part-time students," said Laurie Dennis, director of graduate programs at DSU. She also noted that the students have bachelor degrees in a variety of areas including information systems, music, biology, education, and psychology.
"What is unique about the large enrollments is that the University has done little marketing and has relied on word-of-mouth promotion and internet communication," said Dennis. "I get calls and emails daily from people all over the world inquiring about the program. Obviously, the demand for MSIS is extremely high."
Beginning with Fall 2000, the program can be completed in five full-time semesters. Classes are scheduled on Saturdays and evenings for the convenience to students.

Dennis noted there was a lot of teamwork among the students and that there is a real camaraderie among those already enrolled. She also said that the classes were small with lots of hands-on experiences. There are even students who plan to use what they already have learned and are exploring business opportunities.
