Seim Hall is where the Seim Squad resides! Members of the Seim Squad get to know their neighbors, make memories that will last a lifetime, and make the most out of their college experience. The Resident Assistants (RAs) and Hall Director look forward to helping residents create connections in their suites, within their houses, and to NDSU as a whole. The Seim Squad can look forward to the End of the Year Bash in the spring, which is when all of the residence halls come together for an afternoon of inflatable obstacle courses, music, and loads of fun!

Hello everyone! My name is Samuel Elinson and I am the Hall Director for Pavek and Seim Halls! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and a Master’s Degree in Student Affairs Administration. Before coming to NDSU, I taught English in Nantan, Japan and worked as a Student Conduct Officer at the University of Wisconsin – River Falls. I am passionate about learning about people, cultures, and languages. In my spare time you can find me in the kitchen trying new recipes or in town trying out one of the great Fargo restaurants!

What I enjoy most about being a Hall Director is the opportunity to be a resource for students as they take their first steps in their NDSU adventure! My advice for students is to be brave and try something new, meet people, and make connections. Being a college student gives you the opportunity to learn about yourself, others, and determine what kind of person you want to be, and there is no greater place to do that than at NDSU! Go Bison!

History

Seim Hall (originally the West High Rise) was built in 1972 as the third in a series of nine-story high rise buildings. It housed 293 male and female students in two-story subdivisions alternating between seventy men and seventy women. The West High Rise was renamed Seim Hall in 1984 to honor Norm Seim, NDSU's Housing Director for twenty-two years.

Seim was originally from Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. He entered Moorhead State College in 1941 and earned a two-year teaching degree. Seim enlisted in the U. S. Army after the 1941-42 school year. He served for three years in the Southwest Pacific where he earned a commission as Second Lieutenant. In 1946, Seim enrolled at NDAC and graduated in the winter of 1949-50 with a degree in industrial engineering. In 1962, he became Director of Housing at NDSU. He retired in 1984 after twenty-two years of service to NDSU (It's Happening at State, June 27, 1984, p. 7-8).
