Why I Wear Green

I enjoy the history of our great campus and supporting UND Athletics! 

Overview

Cory records and processes gifts through the UND Alumni Association & Foundation for the benefit of UND. When our donors have a question about their company’s matching gift program or the UND Memorial Tree Program, Cory has the answer! He also manages the building and grounds of the Alumni Center; he’s the contact for maintenance, lawn care, and repair. No matter the building issue, Cory is the “go-to” guy.

Cory grew up on his family’s farm in the Pembina Gorge near Numedahl and Walhalla, N.D.

Knowledge

As a history buff, there’s no better person than Cory to serve on the University Arts and Antiques committee, preserving UND historical items, pottery, and other pieces of UND’s past while keeping an accurate inventory of the UND Foundation’s arts and antiques. He was instrumental in serving as a liaison between donors and campus when furnishing the Gershman Graduate Center with UND Foundation antique furnishings.
