About Career Services
Career Services Office
DSU
Career Services Office assists students and
alumni with a variety of free services to assist them as they enter the job
market. It consists of three main areas: Student Employment, Internships and
Placement. Student Employment offers part-time, temporary, and seasonal job
opportunities for students and has access to all Job Service listings.
Internships allow students to obtain "hands on" experience that will enhance
employability upon graduation. Career Services assists students in locating
internship opportunities in their field of study. The third step in this process
is considered placement, or the acceptance of a permanent, full-time position
upon graduation. Several other services are offered through Career Services to
prepare students for their future, some of which include: individualized career
counseling, workshops, career planning courses, campus recruiters, credential
files, vacancy announcements, job fairs, etc.
The DSU Career Services Office is
located on 2nd Floor of Heston Hall. Room 206

Hello,
I’m Marie Lohsandt, Director of Career and Internship Services.
I have been at DSU for 19 years; most of that time in Career Services. I often tell people that I have “one foot on campus and
one foot off campus” because in addition to working with DSU students and
colleagues, I work closely with state and regional employers to develop positions for
interns and graduates. It’s that unique blend
that keeps my job exciting -- no
two days are ever the same!
Giving back is
important to me, so I am actively involved in several local
and state associations.
Although I enjoy outside
involvements, the most important thing to me
is spending time with my family. When I do have
a little free time, I enjoy decorating
our 1910 home, shopping for antiques or unique items, working in the yard, walking
or reading.
Thanks again
for stopping by our site. When you visit campus, I invite you to stop in person
to meet all of us in Career Services!

Hi! I am
Janelle Nielsen. I’m the Senior Secretary in Career Services. I have been
employed at Dakota State since September of 2005. Prior to coming to Career
Services, I worked in the DSU Enrollment Services office.
My job consists
of mainly contact with current DSU students as well as graduates of Dakota
State. Our office assists students that will be graduating in preparing
paperwork for their credential file. After graduation, these students or
employers may call us if they wish for a credential file to be sent. I help
coordinate on-campus interviews with our current students and sometimes recent
graduates. With this part of my job I have contact with many businesses that
are recruiting our students. There are approximately twenty businesses that
come to campus for interviews each semester. I am the voice you will most times
hear when you make calls to our office and usually the first face that will
greet you when you stop in.
I am married to
Jim Nielsen and together have two children, Tom and Jenna. Our family has many
ties to Dakota State University. I attended DSU, formally DSC, as did my
husband Jim. My son Tom and daughter-in-law Erin are recent Dakota State
graduates. My daughter Jenna is pursing
a nursing degree. Our family has been
avid ‘Trojan’ fans for many years supporting the football and basketball
programs. I am a member of the St. Thomas Catholic Church in Madison. I love
spending my free time with my family and friends, traveling, shopping, boating,
going to movies and the theatre. |
