Champions Club members, friends and fans, What a year! We won FOUR Big Sky Championships in Football, Volleyball, and Men's and Women's Basketball. We hosted UND's first ever home football playoff game in the Division I era and our Volleyball team advanced to the NCAA tournament. Women's Basketball advanced to the WNIT in postseason play. And Men's Basketball earned their first ever trip to the Big Dance! What a great opportunity for our Athletics program, and great national exposure as we competed in March Madness on national television. We continue to have success in the classroom with our 17th consecutive semester of a GPA above 3.0 for our student-athletes. 328 of 440 had a GPA above a 3.0 and 73 achieved a 4.0. Our student-athletes again proved to be champions in the community with another record year of 9,524 hours of community service. We are also excited to announce that we will be rekindling some old rivalries as we move to the Summit League starting in 2018. This conference change will, among many things, provide our student-athletes the experiences of competing against some of the top programs in the country and reigniting the rivalries with schools like NDSU, SDSU, and USD. Additionally, 2 we ll be joining the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020. We are the flagship University in North Dakota. In order to keep that standing and represent UND on a national level in athletics, we need your help more than ever. Securing over 400 student-athlete scholarships, along with program enhancements, could not be done without the help of every Champions Club member. The Champions Club continues to lead the way as the largest supporter for University of North Dakota Athletics scholarship needs and we THANK YOU. It takes the strength of many to achieve and sustain success; the bigger the Champions Club, the stronger and better we will be. Please explore this membership guide to learn more. Thank you for being an integral part of our team! go Fighting hawks! Brian Faison, UND Director of Athletics

Gifts to Impact Scholarships are not invested; rather, 100% of your yearly pledge will directly benefit a student-athlete scholarship. In 2017, we are projecting about $370,000 in gifts to Impact Scholarships, and in 2018, we are projecting only $183,000. With an overall scholarship budget of $4 million, your support to Impact Scholarships is critical.

Champions Club members are ranked 1-2,514, determined by their total number of points. We use the ranking to ensure an equal approach to ticket allocation when limited tickets are available. Do gift pledges or payment plans toward my Champions Club membership affect my points? Priority Points accumulate as gifts and payments are received, not at the time they are pledged. When are Priority Points used? Priority Points rank requests for season ticket relocations, waitlist priority, away game tickets, charter flights, regional hockey tournaments, national tournaments, and any other instance of limited available tickets. What is the difference between my Priority Points and my Priority Point Rank? We use your total number of priority points to see where you rank among all Champions Club members. For example, a donor with 1,943.59 Priority Points might have a Priority Point Rank of 100 out of 2,514 members. I have more questions. Who can I ask?
