Case Study: University of North Dakota enhances donor recognition and student engagement with Advent

University of North Dakota honors almost 80 donors with Advent

The University of North Dakota's Nistler College of Business & Public Administration faced the challenge of honoring its 100-year history and nearly 80 donors while simultaneously creating a modern, energetic environment to appeal to future students. They partnered with Advent to capture the institution's unique culture and find a creative, updateable way to recognize donor generosity within a new facility.

Advent addressed this by infusing the physical space with digital and static storytelling. The solution included an interactive display navigated by a visitor's phone, a unique updateable donor recognition "abacus," and a community hub with a massive LED screen. This approach successfully honored the college's past while creating a dynamic, modern experience that highlights student success and ongoing alumni mentorship.
