Horticulture student Connor Hagemeyer is the recipient of a scholarship sponsored by the Green Thumb Garden Club of Casselton, North Dakota. The scholarship was awarded during the recent Pie Day at Casselwood Retirement Center in Casselton.

The group hosts an annual Pie Day to raise funds for the scholarship. The pie sale proceeds are donated to a horticulture student chosen by the NDSU horticulture faculty.

Hagemeyer, a junior from Clara City, Minnesota, is advised by Harlene Hatterman-Valenti, professor and high value crops project leader.

Hagemeyer is vice president of the NDSU Horticulture and Forestry Club. His career goal is to be an ornamental plant breeder.

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