The annual NDSU homecoming tradition is an opportunity for students, 教师, 工作人员, alumni and community members to reconnect with campus and celebrate the university.
今年, Kaylee Weigel, a microbiological sciences graduate student from Alexandria, 明尼苏达州, is leaving her mark on the event. She designed the annual t-shirt distributed by NDSU Student Government.
Weigel pulled inspiration from the 2023 首页coming theme, ‘All Roads Lead 首页,’ and used two iconic NDSU landmarks in her design: the main NDSU gates and the Bison Statue.
“I was really inspired by the theme, “All Roads Lead 首页,” and the parade being on campus this year,魏格尔说. “I wanted to incorporate something about campus into the design of the shirt. The easiest thing that I thought of was the iconic NDSU gates.”
Weigel picked up graphic design as a hobby in high school. She taught herself how to use Adobe Illustrator and designed projects for her high school’s DECA chapter.
NDSU Student Government wanted to connect to the student body in this year’s homecoming t-shirt design. They asked students and alumni to submit artwork. The final design was selected by representatives from student government and the NDSU 首页coming Committee.
Weigel said she is looking forward to the week ahead and celebrating not only with students, but also NDSU supporters like alumni and others in the community. Weigel serves as NDSU’s student body president. She’s most excited for the annual 首页coming Parade’s return to NDSU’s campus.
“首页coming is about tradition and Bison Pride,” she said. “I think this year, it’s going to be one of the most vibrant homecoming weeks.”
首页coming shirts will be available for purchase in-person starting Monday, 9月. 25, in the Memorial Union. Shirts are $5 and will be on sale while supplies last.
