Pavek Hall
*Pavek Hall will undergo a full renovation next year and will be offline for the 2023/2024 academic year.
Pavek Hall is a community that works to welcome authenticity and growth. Pavek’s community is not just about trying new things, but about failing, getting back up, and eagerly trying again because our grit and determination help us to keep moving forward. Our staff and students work hard and play harder always excited to say “Yes” to leadership opportunities within Hall Government, to fixing obstacles affecting the community, and to making late-night milkshake runs.

Hello everyone! My name is Samuel Elinson and I am the Hall Director for Pavek Hall! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and a Master’s Degree in Student Affairs Administration. Before coming to NDSU, I taught English in Nantan, Japan and worked as a Student Conduct Officer at the University of Wisconsin – River Falls. I am passionate about learning about people, cultures, and languages. In my spare time you can find me in the kitchen trying new recipes or in town trying out one of the great Fargo restaurants!
What I enjoy most about being a Hall Director is the opportunity to be a resource for students as they take their first steps in their NDSU adventure! My advice for students is to be brave and try something new, meet people, and make connections. Being a college student gives you the opportunity to learn about yourself, others, and determine what kind of person you want to be, and there is no greater place to do that than at NDSU! Go Bison!

History
The last of the four high rises was completed in 1987. It is located in the southwest corner of the quadrangle of the high-rise residence halls. In October of 1990, the newest high rise was renamed Pavek Hall in recognition of F. Leslie Pavek, Vice President of Student Affairs.
Pavek was born on May 27, 1929 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science degree. Pavek later received a masters (1960) and doctorate (1968) in education from the University of North Dakota (UND). In 1967 Pavek came to NDSU to work in the Counseling Center. In 1968, Pavek was appointed Dean of Students. In 1974, he was named Vice President for Student Affairs. Pavek retired in 1990 after twenty-three years of service to NDSU (It's Happening at State October 10, 1990, p.3).
