NDSU and North Dakota Air National Guard announce new partnership – KVRR Local News
FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – NDSU and the North Dakota Air National Guard signed a Memorandum of Agreement Thursday, to better serve NDSU’s Military Students.
The partnership promises more direct communication and meetings between NDSU and the 119th Wing to discuss potential academic opportunities for recruits, and gather data about opportunities they’d like to see at NDSU.
NDSU President David Cook said that this partnership is important to ensuring a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences on NDSU’s campus.
“It’s a different kind of student bringing a different perspective into the classroom, which is absolutely critical for us. And it’s an opportunity for them to come here and get an associates degree through the Air Force, and then go across the street and get a four year degree at NDSU.”
NDSU will also streamline degree pathways for North Dakota Air National Guard members, and provide them with professional academic advising support to help them find the best path towards degree completion.
