MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT STEVEN SHIRLEY
he past year has truly been unlike any other. The COVID-19 pandemic has
undoubtedly impacted our society in so many ways, and that impact has certainly
been felt at Minot State University as well. Despite the many disruptions and
continuing challenges caused by the virus, one constant has been the ongoing
efforts to succeed by our students, faculty, and staff. You will learn about a number of important
milestones and initiatives throughout this President’s Report. We are incredibly grateful for your
generosity and trust in MSU. None of the great news outlined in this Report is possible without
your support and kindness!
2019-20 has created remarkable change across the MSU landscape and set the stage for more
changes ahead: in November we announced a $1 million gift from Roger and Ann Looyenga to
establish new academic programs in Leadership; we held a ribbon-cutting last fall to unveil the
$2.2 million renovation of the MSU Dome; we are in the midst of a $1.5 million fundraising effort to
renovate the MSU Summer Theatre Amphitheater, including a recent generous challenge matching
gift of $500,000 for this project from the Minot Area Community Foundation; we added several new
academic programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in important fields creating new
opportunities for current and future students; and a Student Emergency Fund campaign supported
our students in responding to the initial financial impacts from COVID-19. Indeed, in so many ways a
year unlike any other, but MSU responded, adapted, and thrived thanks to your generosity.
For the fifth consecutive fiscal year, over $3 million was raised through your kindness. In fact, $3.8
million was raised this past year, representing a 16% increase over last year. Notable within this year’s
giving was an all-time record to our Annual Excellence Appeal in excess of $540,000, a 36% increase
over last year’s previous record. We also added 24 new endowed scholarships, meaning there are
now 371 endowments providing important financial support to our students pursuing their academic
dreams. You can review all of the fundraising highlights on pages 4-5 of this Report. A final important
note, you will see the MSU Development Foundation’s asset base is now approaching $38 million, a 1
224% increase during the past decade. None of these incredible successes are possible without your
President’s Report 2019-20
dedication, support, and belief in Minot State, our mission, and our students. THANK YOU!
Looking a bit further ahead, we are now in the early planning stages for the 2021 Legislative
Session — that Session will help determine our financial picture for the 2021-23 biennium that begins
July 1, 2021. Without a doubt, we will have some challenges ahead. Uncertainty related to the ongoing
COVID-19 response, coupled with North Dakota’s financial challenges due to instability in the
energy and agricultural markets, means your support of MSU is as important now as ever. There
are certainly some challenges ahead, but I am even more mindful and optimistic of the many opportu-
nities and possibilities existing for MSU and our students thanks to each of you and your support.
Finally, I would be remiss not mentioning the loss of two MSU giants during the past year. Last fall,
longtime supporter and Foundation Board chair Maynard Sandberg passed away, and this spring
long-time AD, coach, and supporter Wes Luther died. Both men are in the MSU Athletic Hall of
Fame and both were recipients of the Golden Award, the highest honor bestowed by MSU’s Alumni
Association. These two men bled the MSU red and green their entire adult lives, and I join many
of you in missing their friendship and seeing them on campus. Rest in peace Maynard and Wes.
Thank you for your continued support of Minot State University and our students, and thanks for
taking the time to peruse this President’s Report.
Thank you and as always, GO BEAVERS!

Establishing a Scholarship
The first step in establishing a scholarship is to determine whether you would like to
establish an endowed scholarship or an annual scholarship:

of interest, geographical origin, leadership potential, merit, financial need, academic achievement, or
other criteria.
Typically, a selection committee carefully reviews the scholarship applications submitted by students and
selects the most deserving recipient(s) based on the donor-established criteria.
Contributors of a scholarship fund are notified annually when the scholarship recipient(s) has been selected
and are informed of the name, as well as the amount of the award. Recipients often write a thank you note to
the donor, and in some cases, the recipient(s) and donor are able to meet.Annual/Endowed Scholarships An endowment
