Meet Dakotah Rusley

Dakotah Rusley knows a thing or two about the value of a South Dakota School of Mines & Technology education. The 23-year-old Computer Engineering major landed a student internship with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in January 2017. Even before he completed the internship, NASA had already offered Rusley a full-time position at the Flight Center upon his graduation from Mines in December 2018. Rusley joins NASA with a starting job salary package of well over $60,000. "This school gave me the means to do what I want career-wise for a reasonable price" Rusley says.
