Justin Lehmann’s college experience has been anything but ordinary. While most students choose a major or field of study that has a concrete, laid-out plan, Lehmann went against the grain. This spring, Lehmann will be graduating from North Dakota State University with a degree in precision agriculture, making him the first to ever do so.
The past year, as hard as it was, offered optimism and opportunities 7:00 am, May 1, 2021 ×

No industry remained untouched when the pandemic struck in March 2020, the least of which education. In just a matter of days, all educational systems immediately pivoted toward online learning to help reduce the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
While that upheaval certainly caused some strife, the pandemic also illuminated areas where systems could improve. Within higher education, many local administrators and instructors realized just how creative their faculty and staff could be as well as how resilient their students would remain in the face of constant change.

With COVID-19 cases way down, many area schools are planning for high school graduations that will look a lot closer to normal than they did last year at this time.
Minot High School principal Scott Faul said the Minot High School graduation on May 30 will still have limited capacity but there will be more people in the audience this year. The graduation will be held at the Minot State University Dome as is traditional, unlike last spring when graduation was held at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds with assigned seating allotted to the crowd – four guests per student – and students seated apart in the grandstand. This year each student will be able to invite eight guests. More tickets will likely be available via a lottery that will be drawn toward the end of May. Faul said some students have said they don’t plan to participate in the graduation ceremony this year, so more tickets could be avail
