FARGO — Students Napoleon and Carrington are among 41 scholars who are part of the North Dakota Governor’s School Class of 2024. The scholars represent 27 high schools, 21 school districts and 17 counties across the state, the State University of North Dakota.

The four-week residential program will begin with an opening ceremony on Sunday, June 2 at 3:30 p.m. in NDSU’s A. Glenn Hill Center, room 112. Sen. Ron Sorvaag, R-Fargo, will deliver remarks at the ceremony.

Students live on the NDSU campus during the month of June while attending classes, engaging in engaging research, small group instruction and hands-on experiences, and participating in enriching STEM-oriented extracurricular activities.

“We are excited to welcome students to NDSU to experience the uniqueness of our campus and educational offerings,” said NDSU President David Cook. “I look forward to meeting every student at the Governor’s School. I know they will have a transformative experience during their summer here at NDSU.”
