Rocker Connections
Adventure Awaits: Aug. 28-30, 2026
Organized by Student Engagement, Rocker Connections is open to all new, incoming students. Mines student organizations offer up a variety of awesome adventures - from hiking and fishing, to Baja racing and ziplining. Rocker Connections is an opportunity for first-year students to meet one another, experience Rapid City and the Black Hills region, and form connections with returning students, faculty, and staff.
Space is limited for each trip. Students register via their New Student Checklist.
