The five years I spent at NDSU were among the most satisfying and rewarding of my life. I enjoyed the challenge of my courses and the friendships I made with many of my professors, among them John Hove, Catherine Cater, Leonard Sackett, and Francis Schoff in the English Department, and Hugh Boyle in History and Stephan Popel in Foreign Language. They helped me form the ideals and aspirations that have guided my life. This scholarship is my attempt to repay NDSU for all the benefits it gave me. My hope is that each recipient of my scholarship has the same rich and joyous experience that I did.
