Join us for lunch and an inspiring conversation about how you can create a legacy that reflects your values, supports NDSU, and aligns with your financial goals.
At this FREE special event, gift planning experts will explore the powerful ways you can make a lasting impact — often with tools and assets you already have. Whether you’re just beginning to think about your legacy or ready to take the next step, this is an opportunity to discover giving options that benefit both you and future generations of Bison.
Learn how gift planning can:
From simple bequests to tax-smart giving with appreciated assets, charitable trusts, retirement accounts, real estate, and more, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the options available to you and how they align with your personal and financial priorities.

Margaret and her husband, Hugh Veit ’79, established the Eleanor S. Fitzgerald Memorial Graduate Student Scholarship to support NDSU students earning advanced degrees in the Department of Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences or the Department of Human Development and Family Science.
Core areas of home economics remain part of current NDSU degree programs such as accounting; apparel, retail merchandising, and design; education; family and consumer science; financial planning; human development and family science; interior design; and nutrition science.
Home economics programs opened doors, particularly for women, to earn college degrees and pursue careers in education, Extension, state and federal government, business and industry, health care, and more. NDAC listed domestic economy as one of its courses in its founding year, 1890.
Established by Dr. Teresa Conner, dean of the NDSU College of Health and Human Sciences, and co-chaired by Dr. Margaret Fitzgerald ’83 and Col. Esther Meyers ’75, the Wisdom Keepers provide support and share their knowledge and expertise with students, faculty, staff, and leadership in the College.
The home management house at NDAC was the first facility built on a college campus specifically for home management practice. In 1954, it was named in honor of Alba Bales, the first female academic dean at NDAC.
