ShilohSioux Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Not sure if this is the right topic category (might better belong in "Community") but is there a list somewhere that shows distribution of UND and NDSU alums, by county, in North Dakota, and perhaps how UND alums are based out of state? It would be nice to know how we stack up on the west side of the state compared to NDSU, and how we are grouped in future BSC locales. Also, it might lay to rest the "Fargo is mostly a NDSU town" cry some like to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 here is a pretty nice one for NDSU http://www.ndsualumnicenter.com/alumniassociation/maps/national/webmap.htm By looks of that map you guys should be in the Big Sky. NDSU sure missed the mark.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FargoBison Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 By looks of that map you guys should be in the Big Sky. NDSU sure missed the mark.................... Well there are 3k more alumni living in Big Sky states vs Summit/MVFC states. That said, the 20k+ alumni living in the area from the Twin Cities to Milwaukee are much closer to the Summit/MVFC than they are to the Big Sky. So I can live with that fact.

ShilohSioux Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 here is a pretty nice one for NDSU http://www.ndsualumn...onal/webmap.htm Thanks, Hansel. Exactly what I was looking for. I am a bit surprised at the high number in Cass County compared to elsewhere. With NSDU being the land grant institution for the state, I would have thought there was a higher percentage in the west side of the state than what is showing here. With the two universities comparable in size, it would be interesting to compare NDSU and UND county-by-county. Sioux fans, do we have something similar for UND?

Similar maps were posted on here a couple of years ago for both UND and NDSU, but I don't remember even which forum to look under. But that also tells me there should be a web site somewhere that would have that info. Have you tried your friend Google? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I guess this is better than nothing.... Hopefully Bin can find a link to the map he referenced. Here are some figures from UND's Big Sky announcement... Number of UND Alumni Within 100 Miles of Big Sky Campuses: Greeley, Colorado: 2,865 (Denver area: 3,301) Sacramento/Davis, California: 1,578 Portland, Oregon: 1,178 (Seattle area: 2,204) Spokane, Washington: 456 Missoula, Montana: 445 Bozeman, Montana: 365 Ogden, Utah: 362 San Luis Obispo, California: 285 Flagstaff, Arizona: 160 Pocatello, Idaho: 144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a UND alumnus living in the MSP area has limited choices for attending UND games, I would rather they come to GF for games. Plan a nice vacation around the beautiful destinations for a road game.

bincitysioux Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hopefully Bin can find a link to the map he referenced. Those numbers I listed came off of a map that was sent to me from the Alumni foundation a few years ago................... Closest thing I can find on the web is on page 19 of the UND Vision One portfolio. That lists UND "constituents" around the country. I can't seem to find anything like Hansel's map that lists alumni by county, but I thought that our friend Hammersmith had showed us one at one time, or maybe I'm just smokin' something............... On an unrelated note, I see on that same page on the alumni map, which is from 2007, that the Fighting Sioux Club had a goal of reaching $2 million by 2012-13. They went over $2 million last year, so fundraising appears to be going quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless I'm smoking the same thing, it must have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
