Student Spotlight

Connor Dilse is a senior at NDSU studying Mechanical Engineering. He is from Scranton, ND. Here's Connor's favorite thing about the Newman Center:


"I enjoy having a place to grow in my faith with a community together. The Newman center offers fun and spiritual activities for all people each on different walks of their path towards Christ."

Bikezilla Race and Ride Recap

The bison nation reigned victorious for the 10th year in a row during the annual bike race and ride! Due to heavy rain and wet road conditions, the bike race was moved to an online format. The team with the most miles logged, most riders, and most amount fundraised for their Newman Center was the winner.


Team NDSU logged 2,635 miles with 120 virtual riders. Your support raised over $242,129 for campus ministry at NDSU. Go Bison!
