Student Emergency Support Project

Benefactors Show Compassion During Challenging Times

Anxiety and stresses caused by COVID-19 are being felt across the nation and around the world. North Dakota State University, like other universities, has moved to remote learning, which has become a challenge for some of our students who have limited resources and are losing the income they did have as stores and restaurants limit hours or close entirely.

With the rapid changes in the wake of the COVID-19 national emergency, some NDSU students are in need of technology to complete their coursework remotely, resources to meet basic needs, and travel assistance. To make your gift in support of NDSU students during these uncertain times, visit the Student Emergency Support crowdfunding page.

Being closer to home allowed him to take advantage of everything NDSU offers its athletes from the high-tech Sanford Health Athletic Complex with top-of-the-line weight rooms to trainers and nutrition experts to the tutors and advisors available anytime for academic needs, Vinnie said he feels incredibly lucky:

“It’s such a blessing being able to play here and be a part of this community. Being an athlete in Fargo is amazing.”
