A North Dakota State University student who recently graduated is thanking Nicki Minaj for paying her tuition. The woman received her her Bachelor of Science in Psychology. In a Twitter post, the graduate highlighted her journey to getting her degree and expressed her gratitude to the rapper.
“Almost 3 years ago @NICKIMINAJ helped me to get back into school by paying for my college tuition, and tomorrow I will be walking across the stage to receive my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development & Family Science. Thank you, Nicki”

FARGO, N.D. (AP) Downtown Fargo was surprisingly busy over the weekend, due in part to an outdoor fundraiser and an indoor spring fling. Masks were in relative short supply in North Dakota s largest city.
Andrew Kodet, 20, a North Dakota State University student, and his girlfriend, Kenzie Nylin, 21, a University of North Dakota student, said they will wear masks where required. Otherwise they will go without because of the new Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and because they’re fully vaccinated.
The CDC says people who have completed their regimen of shots should feel free to show their faces.
“We are interested in tepary beans because they are very stress tolerant, unlike their cousin the common bean,” said Dr. Kirstin Bett (PhD), professor of plant breeding and genetics at USask and one of the senior authors of the study. By 2050, the major regions growing common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) the most important legume protein source for human consumption may be unsuitable and the overall nutritional quality of the crop will likely be reduced. “Tepary beans are an under-appreciated protein crop that are ideal for production in marginal environments due to their inherent tolerance of temperature stresses,” said Bett. The team sequenced the genome of the tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolis A. Gray) to study how the legume adapts more effectively to fluctuating temperatures than its common bean cousin, and to combine traits of the two species into a more sustainable crop variety.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana see no drought relief
Drought conditions remained relatively unchanged across the Midwest over the last week, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Written By: Michael Spieker | 5:25 pm, May 13, 2021
Little to no rain was seen last week in the three states that need moisture most in the Upper Midwest North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana and, as a result, extreme drought conditions have not diminished.
North Dakota continues to be experiencing the most severe drought conditions with 85% of the state under the extreme drought category.
“Unfortunately, April didn t turn out to be even near normal, in terms of precipitation,” said North Dakota State University climatologist Adnan Akyuz. “It was the 20th driest (on record). However, the good news is that it was cooler than normal. If it were warmer than normal, it would have exacerbated the drought conditions.”
