We are excited to announce Caryn Marty ’26, an industrial engineering and management student from Chokio, MN, as the student speaker at the upcoming Evening of Distinction, presented by SEI Investments Company! 🎤🎉 Caryn is a dedicated scholar, leader, and mentor who has made the most of her time at North Dakota State University. Through internships, campus involvement, and leadership roles, she has developed confidence, resilience, and a passion for guiding others. 🗣️ "In my time at NDSU, I have become a well-rounded version of what I used to be. I have learned how to effectively plan events, market myself, work as a team, and navigate the unknown. Engineering courses have taught me how to problem-solve — a skill I apply to every aspect of my life." Beyond the classroom, she is an active member of Engineering Ambassadors, NDSU Society of Women Engineers, NDSU Saddle & Sirloin, and the Kappa Delta sorority. She also serves as a teaching assistant, mentoring younger students and inspiring future engineers. 🗣️ "I now know that I belong here just as much as the next person. Every opportunity I take leads me to the next, which has brought me to where I am today." We look forward to hearing from Caryn as she shares her inspiring journey and helps us celebrate the incredible individuals and partners shaping the future of NDSU at Evening of Distinction on April 24!
