In 2012, President Bresciani assembled a committee to expand participation in Homecoming and celebrate NDSU as a top research institution, in addition to enjoying successful Bison athletics in the Fargo-Moorhead community.

The committee’s goal is to make certain everyone is informed about the variety of events planned. Organizations sponsoring a Homecoming event are invited to submit the information online.

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