Congrats! Honors student, Avery Kautz, was recognized by the Brown County Historical Society for her outstanding research paper submitted to their annual Historical Research and Writing contest. Avery received second place for her paper, “Divisive Unity: The 1964 New York World’s Fair.” When asked about the award, Avery said, “My paper was about the 1964 New York World's Fair and how the message of that fair was "Peace Through Understanding," but most of the fair represented the opposite. There were Civil Rights protests, Cold War messaging throughout, and even the companies that participated showed an increasingly consumerbased society.” Honors student, Maggie Kruger, was recently featured in the July/August edition of South Dakota Magazine for her involvement in NSU’s film program and athletics. She recently directed, shot, edited and acted in her short film Faileas. The project, completed in just one month, was created in preparation for a visit by Sean Covel, producer of Napoleon Dynamite, who spoke to the NSU film department and campus community about filmmaking and business. Maggie also wrote and performed an original poem for the film. The Honors Law Opportunity Program (HLOP) had it’s first graduate! Jakob Lund graduated from NSU in 2022 and from the University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law in 2025. Jakob is one of several students who have been accepted into the program of collaboration between the 2 universities. HLOP is a competitive scholarship opportunity open to NSU Honors students from any major and offers guaranteed admission to the USD Knudson School of Law for 5 students annually. Well Done, Wolves!
