Dear NDSU graduate,

Please accept my personal congratulations on a job well done. The pandemic may have forced the cancellation of North Dakota State University’s May commencement, but it certainly cannot take away from your outstanding achievement.

You accomplished much, and you have every right to be proud.

These challenging times forced major changes in how NDSU operated during spring semester, and our students, faculty and staff demonstrated remarkable adaptability and resiliency. You are a member of a truly memorable graduating class – you finished your courses through distance learning and you made important sacrifices to help preserve the health of your classmates and community.

This booklet is for you to keep. It lists you along with your May 2020 classmates by college and degree, and includes hometowns and majors. I hope you have many pleasant memories as you look through its pages.

Your collegiate career at NDSU was an important time of personal growth. Through hard work, you earned a degree from a leading student-focused, land-grant, research university. You demonstrated the knowledge, ability and dedication needed to succeed.

Please know that your presence strengthened our university, and I wish you the very best for the exciting future that lies ahead.

Go, Bison!

Sincerely,

Dean L. BrescianiNDSU President

Ho, a cheer for green and yellow

Up with yellow and the green,

They’re the shades that deck our prairies

Far and wide with glorious sheen,

Fields of waving green in springtime

Golden yellow in the fall —

How the great high-arching heaven

Looks and laughs upon it all.

BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEY

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
