A new report by the American Legislative Exchange Council showed North Dakota residents paid 7.93 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity in 2024, 42% below the national average, and utilities credited low rates to a focus on fuel diversity and sound energy policy.

16) at the campus, featuring networking with leaders and remarks from industry figure Todd Pringle.

Last week, NDSU hosted the Possibility Showcase at the Memorial Union where 11 student-led teams presented innovative projects in fields such as agriculture, health, and AI.

NDSU alumnus Dieumerci Christel gave the keynote & live pitches offered interactive feedback from community judges.
