Greetings from Williston State College Foundation. Welcome to the new Foundation website! Please take time to read some fun stories and connect (or reconnect) with WSC. I would love to get an email from any of you or have you stop by to reminisce about days gone by at UND-W. You’ll find our offices directly across the street from the Phil Rabon Baseball Field! For 26 years I served as the Athletic Director and men’s basketball coach at Williston State College. Over a year ago I replaced former Foundation President Garvin Stevens who worked for more than 40 years to build a successful Foundation(see history here).

The current board of directors has many new ideas, new focus and new energy to engage and partner with surrounding communities to make Williston State a center of educational, cultural and recreational activity. But we need your input and help!

See more on our vision, mission and goals for the year by clicking here. Ultimately, the Foundation is creating something for you and our students to RAVE about. We’re calling on alumni and members of surrounding communities to make the “Williston State Promise” to current and future students. That is, to enhance Williston State as a:

Regional Center offering

Affordable Education on a

Vibrant Campus with

Excellent Faculty

Types of support

Here are several ways you can help further the mission of Williston State College:

1) Become a Foundation member for only $50, and we will keep you updated on exciting progress and events in the months ahead, and send you this year’s annual report. (Give online today)

2) Choose a cause, making an additional donation to a student or teacher development scholarship or to the music, athletic or auto and diesel funds. (See more)

3) Connect us to a major donor. Do you have a business, friend or relative who could make one of our Capital Investment dreams for WSC come true? (See more)

4) Find a creative way to invest in the college through a tax-sheltered or family fund or one that reduces estate or capital gains taxes. (To read about many more funds, click here)

As the new Executive Director of our Foundation, one of my major goals is to create a strong base of foundation and alumni members that keeps our college strong.

Community Events. We have begun to fulfill our new mission of “Bringing Communities and College Together” through our sponsorship of Good Neighbor Breakfasts, through our Fall Scholarship Celebration, by reconnecting with alumni on fun bus trips to other college events, and through Hometown Williston Ventures. But we want to do more!

Get in touch with us, share your ideas, and make the Williston State Promise to support Williston State College.

Thanks!

Terry Olson
