Jamestown-area Students Named to Minot State Fall 2025 Honor Rolls

Minot State University announced that 312 students earned a place on the Vice President for Academic Affairs’ Honor Roll for fall 2025, and several students from the Jamestown area were among those recognized. The university said the honor will show on the student’s transcript for the semester it was earned, a detail that can matter for transfer, scholarships, and early-career opportunities.

The university described the VPAA threshold in clear terms: "Students who earned a term grade point average of 3.5-3.79 while enrolled for 12 or more credits during the Fall 2025 semester were named to the VPAA list." A local posting in the Jamestown Sun noted the president's list criteria as well: "Students who earned a term grade point average of 3.8 or higher while enrolled for 12 or more credits during the fall 2025 semester were named to the president's list." The Jamestown Sun item was presented as a community contribution and listed local students by hometown.

Jamestown-area students recognized on Minot State's VPAA Honor Roll include Ashlyn Berry and Dominique Scobee of Jamestown and Keiley Slorby of Carrington. Minot State's published roster also lists Carrington residents Brooklyn Bloms and Lane Evanson on the VPAA list. The Jamestown Sun named additional local students on the president's list: Carrington’s Baylee Halverson and Mya Reimche-Nelson; Shelby Moe of Oakes; Taylor Ask and Cherrie Varner of Valley City; and Anna Sandness of Verona.

These academic honors carry community significance beyond individual recognition. For families and local schools in Stutsman County, the listings are a tangible marker of postsecondary persistence and success. Transcripts that display institutional honors can bolster applications for internships, graduate study, and jobs in healthcare and other sectors where academic standing is reviewed. Educational attainment and clear pathways to credentials also intersect with public health and economic stability, influencing access to employer-provided health benefits and long-term well-being.

The university explains how the list is organized: "Students named to the VPAA Honor Roll are listed by hometown. North Dakota students are listed first, followed by students with out-of-state hometowns, alphabetized by state and then hometown, and then Canadian" entries.

Recognition on honor rolls is a small but important piece in the larger effort to expand opportunity in our region. For Stutsman County residents, these names are reminders that local students are competing and succeeding at the university level; families, schools, and employers can use that momentum to support retention, affordable credentialing, and equitable access to the next steps in education and career pathways.
