Trish Noyes

Director of Stewardship and Recognition

Trish is the Director of Stewardship and Recognition for the SDSU Foundation. A native of Faulkton, SD, she earned her degree in dietetics from South Dakota State University and became a Registered Dietitian before transitioning into roles in health coaching, learning and development, employee engagement, and customer service. She also played a key role in helping a franchise grow from brick-and-mortar locations to a fully virtual operation. In her role at the Foundation, Trish focuses on making sure Jackrabbits near and far feel our deep appreciation for their continued generosity. Trish and her husband, Tony, also an SDSU alumnus, live in Volga with their son, Baker, and their energetic corgi, Winston. She enjoys interior and seasonal decorating, tending to her indoor and outdoor plants, photographing Baker and Winston’s latest adventures, attending concerts, and golfing with Tony. Trish's Jackrabbit roots run deep, with her grandfather having worked in barley research on campus and her father playing for Jackrabbit Football in 1970s. Today, her family enjoys cheering on the yellow and blue together every chance they get.

“Being part of the SDSU Foundation is such a gift - allowing me to continue building meaningful relationships and celebrate the generosity of donors whose support continues to transform lives.”
