Is Bismarck 'The cradle of presidents?'

By David Gonnerman '90
April 27, 2009

"At St. Olaf, four of the past 11 presidents of the Student Government Association have been from Bismarck," begins a recent story in the Bismarck Tribune. "Three of the students have been elected in the past six years."

"There's a great dynamic at the school, and because I'm from Bismarck, I'm kind of used to that community aspect," says president-elect -- and Bismarck native -- Taylor Brorby '10. "If you don't know a person and you make eye contact with them, they'll say hi to you. Because us Bismarck kids have been used to that all our life, the mentality of that kind of feels like home."
