VALLEY CITY (VCSU) – Valley City State University will be featured on an upcoming episode of The College Tour, a national TV series streaming on Amazon Prime.
The College Tour will be on VCSU’s campus September 8-12 filming the university and its 10 students and alumni who are profiled in the episode. VCSU is the first North Dakota school to be featured by The College Tour.
“We are excited about this opportunity to showcase VCSU in the national spotlight,” said Alan LaFave, president of VCSU. “Our 10 students and many employees at both VCSU and The College Tour have worked hard over the past few months preparing for this episode that will promote VCSU through the stories of real students and alumni.”
