The Congress of Student Organizations and the Student Activities Office hosted the 20th Annual Bison Leader Awards.
The BLA’s is a night to recognize the work done by individual student leaders, student organizations and faculty advisors. This year the Congress of Student Organization received a record number of nominations for the various awards, including 30 nominations for Student Leaders of the Year.
In the 2023-24 academic year students at NDSU logged over 18,000 hours of service on campus, in the FM Community and across the country. Student groups hosted over 50 philanthropic events, which is estimated to have raised over $125,000 for local and national charities such as Farm Rescue, Gigi’s Playhouse, the Children’s Miracle network, St. Jude’s Research hospital and Court Appointed Special Advocates. Our students continue to have a strong impact not only on campus but in the FM Community.
