"Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" selected 19 juniors and seniors from Minot State University for inclusion in the 2010 edition. A campus nomination committee and editors of the annual directory chose the students based on academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular activities and potential for continued success. Minot State honored these recipients at a luncheon April 7.
