Commencement is a momentous occasion to honor the hard work, dedication and the achievements NDSU graduates have made. This celebration marks not just the culmination of academic pursuits, but also the beginning of new opportunities as graduates move from university life to the next chapter of their journeys.
A total of $1,506,796 was raised through 2,019 gifts from alumni, friends, fans, students, staff and faculty during NDSU’s annual Giving Day, which wrapped up on Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Since last year, sophomore Patrick Kadrmas, a social science education and history double major, has interviewed NDSU President David Cook three times on NDSU’s student-run radio station, KNDS.
Natural resource management student Jacob Stahl had no idea a career in fisheries would be of interest until he interned with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource’s Fisheries Index of Biological Integrity program last summer.
“This internship has really guided me in a different direction than I formerly thought I would go,” said Stahl, who is originally from Hibbing, Minnesota.
