“Some of our schools have friendly rivalries,” Anderson said. “But I think the NDSA is a really unique place where the goal is that we put any differences or rivalries aside, and we say, ‘how do we work toward what would be beneficial for all of us?’ My goal is to just make it a good, productive place where people can come and advocate for issues that matter to them.”

The NDSA had its first meeting of the school year at UND. President Camryn Anderson said the organization is seeking legislative priorities from the North Dakota University System's 11 institutions.

North Dakota needs great teachers, and Mayville State is helping answer the call.

Through the Para-to-Teacher Pathway and Registered Apprenticeship Program for Teachers, paraprofessionals across the state are turning their passion for helping students into careers as licensed teachers, all while continuing to serve the schools and communities they know and love.

Since 2023, 86 paraprofessionals have chosen Mayville State to pursue education degrees through the Para-to-Teacher Pathway, with 20 graduates already entering the teaching profession and many more on their way. Combined with the university’s apprenticeship initiatives, these innovative programs are creating opportunities, strengthening rural communities, and helping address North Dakota’s teacher shortage one classroom at a time.

At Mayville State we’re proud to prepare educators who will inspire the next generation and make a lasting difference across North Dakota.
