NDSU senior horticulture major Jillian Patrie received a scholarship presented by the Green Thumb Garden Club of Casselton, North Dakota. For the past five years, the group has held a Pie Day at Casselwood Retirement Center in Casselton to raise money for the scholarship. The pie sale proceeds are donated to a horticulture student chosen by the NDSU horticulture faculty. The sale totaled $200 this year.

Patrie is from Moorhead, Minnesota, and she is the activities director for the NDSU Horticulture and Forestry Club. Her career plans are to manage a garden center or greenhouse after graduation.

As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
