WiSioux Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Also mentioned in this thread. thanks for pointing that out.... I guess it never even connected in my head that this might be athletic related... can't wait to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82SiouxGuy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 My guess is that it won't be related to the Athletics Department. I think that the AD would have been mentioned as part of the announcement. But it looks like some great news for UND no matter what the gift is or how it is going to be used.

iramurphy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 i hear they are giving bunning a new house and boat I posted under another thread. This may be the gift from B John Barry. I think the plan would be to name the College of Business after him and it would be in teh $25 million range. Won't be for athletics. This is the only one I could think of. Anyone know if they had the announcement yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Education Briefs Student receives scholarship Jacob Larson, of International Falls, received the Presidential Scholarship from the University of North Dakota for 2007-2008 academic year. Larson is the son of Roland and Shirley Larson. After graduating from Falls High School, he plans to attend UND in the fall. The Presidential scholarship is awarded to high school seniors who rank among the top half of one percent of entering college students in the nation, based on high school performance and aptitude test results. The scholarship is funded mostly by the UND Alumni Association and Foundation. Looks like the Ferguson endowment is already paying dividends.
