NDSU Time Capsule
History of the Gates
NDSU's gateway to campus was constructed thanks to the initiative and efforts of the class of 1912. The roadway ran from the corner of campus to the steps of Old Main until 1950 when it was replaced with a walking path and grassy mall. After a tornado damaged the original gate, the current decorative gate was installed in 1969, with the entryway welded shut. In October of 2001, the gates reopened. Former student body president, Jonas Peterson, said, "The reopening of the gate allows us to embrace our past, celebrate our future, and mark the progress we have made as an institution."

Philanthropy in Action
Supporting Students Now and in the Future
Retired NDSU professor and former dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Dr. Thomas J. Riley, knows the pressures facing NDSU students right now. That's why he and his wife, Ann, recently donated to the Student Emergency Fund. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tom and Ann established a scholarship fund because they know students with financial support are more likely to complete their degrees and successfully graduate.
"NDSU is literally the future of North Dakota. Young people who go here deserve to be supported as best we can support them. We have graduated a good number of people who have helped make North Dakota the place that it is, and we've got to continue doing that."
- Dr. Thomas J. Riley, Former Dean
To date, more than 470 benefactors have gifted $65,000 to the Student Emergency Fund, which has benefitted more than 100 NDSU students. Read more about the In Our Hands campaign at www.InOurHandsNDSU.com.
