A New Era of Professional Development

Join fellow emerging alumni at these FREE events in Fargo to hear from inspiring and educational speakers, build authentic relationships and foster a dynamic community, and take advantage of professional growth and development opportunities. 

The Emerging Alumni Program is a brand-new initiative hosted by the NDSU Foundation inspired by the notion that all emerging alumni (from ANY institution!) can benefit from connection and professional development opportunities. Over the course of three events for the year, speakers will address the theme BETTER TOGETHER.
