With monthly test alerts through many mediums, North Dakota State’s Campus Emergency Notification System is a service NDSU students and employees know well. But after the disappearance of freshman Thomas Bearson and the off-campus sexual assault of three female students, the campus and community have questioned why the system was not utilized. Since 2008, campus emergency notification systems have been […]
When Maren Walseth was hired as North Dakota State’s 10th head women’s basketball coach in April 2014, the thought was she would need a couple years to make her true impact. While she inherited a team with experience, it was a team coming off a 6-24 season with only two conference wins in 2013-14. It was a team that was […]
Just be: a simplistic idea that often becomes overlooked by the societal pressures of production and achievement.

Read that headline again because there’s no party in the Summit League for any team this season but parity from top to bottom.

Preseason […]

After an amazing semester in England, I am finally back in Fargo and gearing up for spring semester here at North Dakota State. No more flights, train trips or castle visits in my foreseeable future. The concept is at once both terrifying and reassuring. Returning home at the end of a long trip is always a bit weird. I observe […]

The use of the campus emergency notification system has been a topic of interest after two incidents fall semester. CENS alerts were not sent out after a freshman student went missing in September or the sexual assault of three female students in an off-campus apartment over semester break.

The North Dakota State men’s basketball team came into Thursday night’s game against Denver on a 20-game home winning streak. The Bison were in serious trouble of seeing that streak snapped at Scheels Arena with a sloppy first half. But the Bison’s lone senior, guard Lawrence Alexander, had other plans. Alexander surpassed the 1,500 career point mark with 18 points […]
