WILLISTON ND--American State Bank & Trust Company (ASB) and Williston State College (WSC) came together this week to celebrate their continued partnership and shared commitment to investing in the future of education in the MonDak region. Following last year’s announcement of a $260,500 investment, representatives from both institutions gathered to mark the second installment of the multiyear commitment.
The $260,500 commitment – announced in November 2024 – supports several major projects on campus, including the Well and it’s Center Court scoreboard, the Turf Fields Project, and the new Healthcare Training Facility. This recent gathering reflects not only the progress being made, but also the deep ongoing partnership between ASB and WSC.
“This partnership reflects our belief in investing locally and supporting the institutions that shape our community’s future” said CEO/President of ASB, Dave Hanson said. “We’re proud to walk alongside WSC as these exciting developments continue to unfold.”
“ASB has been a significant part of WSC’s story for many years,’ said Dr. Bernell Hirning, President of WSC. “Their continued support allows us to provide new opportunities for our students and strengthen our community impact.”
American State Bank & Trust Company and Williston State College have worked together since the college’s inception in 1961, building a relationship rooted in shared values, student success, and community growth. This ongoing investment ensures that future generations will benefit from the partnership for years to come.
