DSU Wins Champions of Character Five-Star Award

Dakota State University

More accolades are coming to Dakota State Athletics with the recent announcement that the university was named the NAIA Champions of Character Five-Star Award winner.

Every year, each NAIA institution and conference demonstrates their progress in pursuing, character-driven athletics. The Champions of Character scorecard measures growth in training, promotion, conduct in competition and commitment in five core areas: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership.

The Champions of Character list was announced by the NAIA national office Thursday, recognizing DSU as one of the 157 NAIA member institutions’ winners, receiving the Champions of Character Five-Star ‘Bronze’ level.

Dakota State had been named the Champions of Character institution award winner for more than 10 straight years.
