North Dakota State University

The Student Activities Office is here to further advance the mission of North Dakota State University and the Memorial Union by engaging and empowering student potential so as to foster personal leadership development, diversity appreciation and positive social and personal growth.

Studies show that students who are involved during their college years look back on the experience and attest to gaining knowledge and satisfaction associated with that involvement. Students who are more often engaged in their community manage their time better and make connections that often last a life-time. By combining your skills developed through campus and community involvement with the knowledge you are gaining in the classroom, you will become much better prepared for your future endeavors! -- John Gardner, author of Your College Experience: Strategies for Success
