Join us to learn more during the More Than a Meal Virtual Event on Wednesday, April 14 at 12:30 p.m. CT. This event is free, but you must register to join. |

Philanthropy in action Scholarships put NDSU student on a path to succeed Born in Somalia and raised in Kenya, Ahmed Makaraan moved to Canada as a refugee before settling in Fargo, North Dakota, with his wife and three children. He says his NDSU education and experiences prepared him to engage with research, listen to people's ideas and stories, and reach across the aisle. Ahmed has received several scholarships through the Challey Institute for Global Innovation and Growth. He was also recently awarded the NDSU Department of Emergency Management Community Service Award in recognition of his contributions on campus and beyond. After he graduates in May 2021, Ahmed plans to apply to graduate school with hopes of working in international relations or global business.
"Scholarships helped me to enhance and focus on my education, and at the same time develop my professional connections. I was able to engage with the material and the speakers and instructors because of the financial support."

Campus news NDSU nursing students help to vaccinate 500 people in one day NDSU nursing students across the state are helping health care groups administer the COVID-19 vaccine to hundreds of people in North Dakota. For example, students at NDSU Nursing at Sanford Health in Bismarck assisted Sanford Health to deliver doses to 500 people in a single day in March. "I will remember the people that came in and cried as they were getting the vaccines because they would not have to be afraid of COVID anymore," Shayla Heger, an upper-level nursing student from Bismarck, North Dakota, said. "I feel so honored to have been able to be a part of that experience with them." |
