Did you see the news??!

Congratulations to our amazing students for their GOLD recognition at the National Level!

Three NDSU students recently attended the American Advertising Awards Gala (ADDYs) in Austin, Texas, where they won gold in the student division for their spec poster campaign for the Library of Congress.

A Gold ADDY Award represents the highest level of creative excellence. For Emma Rehder, the impact of the recognition hit home when she saw their work featured alongside campaigns from massive brands. "When we walked up to the slideshow with all the campaigns that won, I saw professional ads from Disney, Pepsi, Doritos and more," she said. "It finally clicked in my mind the weight of this award."

Congratulations to Tyler Halstenson, Emma Rehder and Anthony Tortorice for this incredible achievement!

An INCREDIBLE season coming to a close this week🔥

A group of fantastic speakers, a record year for nonprofit giveback, amazing community engagement, excited student opportunities, district + national (!) winnings, generous sponsors, and, of course, stellar members and board crew—the 2025-2026 season was in fact, hype.

See you next season ✌️

🚨 We're only 4 days late… which obviously means Emma gets 4 extra gorgeous photos posted. That's just math. 😌✨

Happy Belated Birthday to our incredibly talented Creative Director, Emma Zink! 🎉

Emma is the creative force behind so much of the magic at AAF-ND this season! She brings fresh ideas, thoughtful design, and major HYPE energy to everything she touches. We're beyond lucky to have her on the board and helping shape the look, feel, and future of our club.

Please help us show Emma some love (and pretend we totally planned this extended birthday celebration all along). 🥳💛
