UND ALUMNI ASSOCIATION AND UND FOUNDATION
J. Lloyd Stone Alumni Center
Strinden Center
Phone (701) 777-2611 or (800) 543-8764

UND alumni are a proud group of graduates and friends totaling over 109,000 strong. Involvement with the University through time, talent and resources has provided a tremendous margin of excellence and helped position UND as one of the top schools in the nation. The Alumni Association and Foundation are two private, non-profit organizations which exist under a mission to retain and strengthen friendships made on campus by keeping graduates and former students in lifelong contact with each other; to keep alumni informed of happenings at the University of North Dakota; and to involve graduates, former students and special friends in the ongoing growth and development of UND. This mission is accomplished through alumni relations and development initiatives involving reunions and fundraising programs to suit the interests of our varied alumni and serve the needs of the University.

While separate organizations, the Alumni Association and Foundation are overseen by one board of directors and led by one executive vice president. This unique structure has, since 1978, facilitated over $180 million to the University for the benefit of students, faculty and staff.
Alumni relations programs and activities are hosted around the United States as UND alumni live in all 50 states and in many countries around the world. Reunions, satellite parties, golf events, and other social activities are planned throughout the year as a way for alumni and friends to retain connections with each other and their alma mater. On-campus events, lectureships, mentoring programs and Homecoming are other opportunities for involvement. In 1981 Telesis, our student alumni association, was established to involve students in alumni activities and to give current students contact with outstanding alumni achievers.

Fundraising efforts revolve around current and ongoing needs at UND. The Annual Drive Fund supports regularly occurring expenses on campus. Campaigns are held at various times to reach the technology, facility, scholarship, and faculty goals of colleges or departments. Scholarships are initiated, supported and maintained through the Foundation. In fact, there are over 700 named endowments which finance student and faculty scholarships. The Foundation Call Center relies on student fundraisers to initiate contact with alumni for updates on campus, personal record information and as an opportunity for alumni to make or fulfill a pledge of financial support. Donations can be made in any amount, and designated toward any and all entities of campus.

Communication is an important aspect of all these efforts. The Alumni Review magazine, produced by the Alumni Association, is mailed, free of charge, to all alumni and friends throughout the year. The organizations’ Web site, www.undalumni.org, exists as a continuous way for alumni, friends and the community-at-large to maintain active connections with the Unviersity.

Alumni and friends of UND are integral to the success of this institution. Intellectual, financial and fan support are just a few of the ways people give back. Every college, school, department, faculty member, and student has benefited from the generosity of alumni and friends through one form or another. This rich tradition of pride and community was established by UND’s first eight graduates and continues fervently today.

LIBRARIES
The University of North Dakota supports the largest and oldest library system in the state of North Dakota. With holdings numbering over 3 million items, the UND libraries are a major resource for students and researchers on campus, in the State, and through the University’s distance education network. The University’s library system includes the Chester Fritz Library and branch libraries (Energy & Environmental Resource Center, Geology, and Music), and the Thormodsgard Law Library and Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences, which serve the graduate professional schools of law and medicine.

The University libraries provide scholarly information and publications in print, microform, audio-visual, and digital formats. Many of the digital resources are available through computer networks allowing access from campus, home, office, and off-campus locations. The Chester Fritz Library’s holdings include significant collections in the humanities, social sciences, science and technology, education, business, and the fine arts. It is also a major depository for state and federal documents. The Chester Fritz Library administers the only U.S. Patent and Trademark collection in the state. The Library’s Elwyn B. Robinson Special Collections include published works and manuscripts documenting state and regional history and the history of the University of North Dakota.

The UND libraries are major contributors to the Online Dakota Information Network (ODIN), a statewide online catalog of library collections and resources. Through ODIN, students and researchers may conduct computer-assisted searches for information about materials held in the University of North Dakota libraries and in other libraries throughout the state.

The University’s libraries are members of many national and regional library consortia. Through these cooperative arrangements, the UND libraries are able to acquire informational resources not held locally. The libraries’ Interlibrary Loan departments will help students obtain materials from other libraries for their use at UND.

The libraries provide educational services including reference assistance and instructional sessions. Librarians are available for individual consultation in the libraries as well as presentations in the classrooms.
