Gifts supporting the NDSU Libraries improve student experiences with the potential to reach many students — use of the Libraries and Libraries’ spaces is available to students seven days a week! Your gift supports the Libraries in cultivating inviting, student-centered, and accessible spaces that enrich teaching, learning, and research to advance student success, innovation, and academic excellence.
Your Giving Day gift will support your project preference:
Library improvements such as the newly created and outfitted Student Study Alcove space just off the main first floor hall area; adding new features to the two new Relaxation & Reflection Rooms now open for student use; additions to the MultiMedia Studio which houses two podcasting stations, a presentation station, and a brand-new one-button Lightboard station for recording instruction sessions; and general improvements to the Libraries, for example, upgrading Group Study Rooms and the Library 110 Instruction Room with accessible technology including a new presentation screen and built-in microphones.
The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection (GRHC) is undergoing a two-phase renovation that includes a number of transformative changes to enhance the student and visitor experience. Phase I is well underway and completion is scheduled for January 2025. Phase II includes significant space dedicated to engaging and immersive museum-quality exhibits. This is a unique opportunity for donors to help us bring the story of the Germans from Russia to life.
