ABOUT JILL RUHD
I am a highly motivated and dedicated professional with a strong background in business administration and strategic sales. Growing up in South Dakota, I developed a solid foundation of values and work ethic that has guided me throughout my career.After earning my bachelor’s degree in business administration from Dakota State University (DSU), I embarked on a successful journey with Bulldog Media Group as a Strategic Sales Representative. During my time there, I expanded my skills in relationship-building, strategic planning, and achieving sales targets.However, my deep connection to DSU and its mission led me to pursue a new opportunity within the university\'s Foundation. I was thrilled to join the team, knowing that I could contribute to raising funds for a greater cause and support the university\'s vision.Passion is at the core of my professional pursuits, and my roots at DSU run deep. With over 13 family members having graduated from DSU, I have a personal connection to the university that fuels my commitment to its success. Additionally, meeting my husband at DSU and my mother\'s 35-year tenure at the institution have further strengthened my bond with DSU and its community.My goal is to leverage my skills and passion to make a significant impact within the DSU Foundation and contribute to the continued growth and success of the university.
