The first National Student Day is planned for Oct. 6. National Association of College Stores and its member stores will honor students on campuses across the United States and Canada with a call to "Study, Serve and Celebrate." National Student Day celebrates and promotes social responsibility among students.

From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the NDSU Bookstore will commemorate the event by having a drawing for a $300 textbook scholarship, study guide giveaways from Bar Charts, National Student Day T-shirts for students, wristbands, cotton candy, other giveaways and drawings.

Students from Service Learning and Civic Engagement also will participate in community service projects. They will video their service and post the projects on the NDSU Bookstore National Student Day Facebook page, competing for NDSU sweatshirts for the most creative team. ACE Tutoring will be available to talk to students about how the tutoring service can help them in their studies.
