Support Every Student: Give to NDSU Libraries

NDSU Libraries are much more than books. They are a hub for student success, providing the spaces, technology, expertise, resources, and support that students rely on every day. From study rooms and research consultations to multimedia tools and unique cultural collections, the Libraries help students thrive seven days a week.

This Giving Day, we're celebrating the Libraries’ impact on NDSU’s strategic priorities: student success, research excellence, community well-being, and land-grant impact. These pillars reflect the work we do every day and our vision for the future.

We're also highlighting our updated supporter level: One Herd. One NDSU. One Hundred Dollars. A gift of $100 is an investment in students and the future of NDSU. Even better, 30 gifts of $100 will unlock an additional $6,000 challenge gift from a Friends of the Library donor. Help us unlock this thoughtful and awesome gift!

Your Giving Day gift helps ensure every student has access to the resources and support they need to succeed. Join the Herd and help keep NDSU Libraries at the heart of student success.
