 Western Dakota Tech students finished their first academic year with funding from a source you might not expect, the band Metallica. The metal band's All Within My Hands Foundation gifted $100,000 to more than 40 technical schools last year, including Western Dakota Tech. Funds go towards paying for students' books, tools, and supplies in some of Western Dakota Tech's construction trades programs. Some of the programs funded include plumbing, precision machining, welding, and architectural design.
