Dear%Readers - NDSU Alumni Association

Dear Readers, Inside our second annual Bison Ambassador Sourcebook you will find evidence of some of our finest memories and our hardest work as an organiza@on. Each major event we par@cipated in is documented here, both with photos and wri@ng to commemorate the @me and effort put forth and given to our NDSU community and our BA family. I look forward to the day, long aHer gradua@on, that I can look back on what I was able to take part in during my @me and North Dakota State University, and I sincerely hope that this book can provide this sense of nostalgia for you as well. Each page within this book has been uniquely designed by one of our fellow Bison Ambassadors, with no page looking like another. It is my sincere hope that you all can look at this work and reflect on how proud you are to be a Bison Ambassador, and how fortunate we all are to work with this team of NDSU’s finest. Go Bison! Happy reading, Samantha Strycker 2014 Vice President of Tradi@ons and Educa@on Table of Contents

Presidents Welcome
Bison Ambassadors participate in the
welcome by holding a sign for each of
NDSU’s colleges so new students know
where to gather. Bison Ambassadors then
lead them to their designated college
orientation, answer questions they have
and welcome them to NDSU!
Classroom Tours
Bison Ambassadors show new students
around before classes begin. Students bring
their class schedules, and Bison
Ambassadors take them right to their
classroom door so they are ready for their
first day at NDSU.
BA/Herd Club Info Booth
Bison Ambassadors have a booth near the
Quentin Burdick Building where they
answer students’ general questions,
provide information about Bison
Ambassadors, and promote Herd Club!

Bison across the nation roamed home for NDSU’s 2013 Homecoming
Week. Bison Ambassadors were kept busy with Recognition Societies
Dinner, the Herd Club Luncheon with Team Makers, the Homecoming
Parade and Pep Fest, the Homecoming Pep Rally, and Bison Bidder’s
Bowl. Returning to old tradition, the parade was moved downtown but
due to an unforeseen storm, it was cancelled. The Bison football team
defeated Missouri State 41-26, making them 6-0 that would turn into an
undefeated season with a third !
National Champion title. !
Bison Bidders Bowl has
been part of NDSU's
Homecoming since 1982.
It is sponsored by the
NDSU Development
Foundation.
The evening features a
gourmet dinner,
auctions, BA valet
parking and everyone's
favorite: Heads and Tails.
Bidders Bowl has raised more than $5.4 million for scholarships and
student programs!
Fall Retreat Every year, Bison Ambassadors go on a fall retreat that serves as a bonding experience for the organiza@on. This year, we were lucky enough to go to the Dakota Marker game in South Dakota to watch NDSU win the marker for the fourth straight year! BA’s loved showing their pride at this game. 2013-14 Yell Leaders:

yellow suits have been
a common sight for
Bison fans. The NDSU
Yell Leaders work
closely with NDSU
Athletics, Bison
Ambassadors, and the
Alumni Association to
promote Bison Pride at
sporting events.
Student Engagement and
Philanthropy Day To recognize the thousands of staff, faculty, alumni, family and friends who give to NDSU, Bison Ambassadors teamed up with the NDSU Development Founda@on on Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day. They decorated over 20 buildings across campus that were funded by these generous donors with green and yellow present bows. Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day, a CASE ASAP holiday, aims to increase student awareness of all the dona@ons given by donors throughout the year. BAs had a great @me decora@ng campus and thanking generous donors! Apple Polisher
The Apple Polisher program
honors NDSU faculty and staff
who have made an exceptional
impact on a student’s college
experience. A Bison
Ambassador can select a
deserving recipient to bring a
special gift to them each day of
Apple Polisher week. These
awards are truly for individuals
who have gone above and
beyond to serve students.
Heat Up the Herd!
This event is our favorite
way to kick-off BA
Recruitment by serving hot
chocolate and apple cider
to the NDSU student body
in the Union. It is also a
phenomenal way for us to
recruit potential
Bison Ambassadors!
