Minot State Fall 2021 President’s List
MINOT, N.D. – Minot State University announced a total of 433 students were named to the Fall 2021 President’s List, according to Minot State President Dr. Steven Shirley.

“It is a wonderful privilege recognizing our highest academic achievers at Minot State University through the President’s List. To these elite students I offer a sincere word of
‘Congratulations’ and ‘Job well done’ for their wonderful accomplishment,” Shirley said.
