What Does Tough Mean at Dickinson State?

At DSU, toughness isn’t just about physical endurance. It’s the ability to face challenges head-on with courage, creativity, and determination. It’s about learning from setbacks, rising after failure, and pushing forward when the road gets tough. Whether you’re solving complex problems in the classroom, leading a campus organization, or breaking new ground in your field, your version of tough belongs at DSU.

So, whether you're charting your own course or working with others, you'll find the support and the opportunities to become your strongest self.

At DSU, we understand that toughness looks different for everyone. For some, it's the determination to work through an overwhelming academic challenge. For others, it’s the creativity to innovate in ways that change the world. The common thread? The drive to overcome, grow, and lead.
