MINOT, N.D. – The Minot State University Development Foundation announced 1991 graduate Pat Slotsve has joined the Foundation as a development officer.
Slotsve, originally from Velva, has been a life-long educator working for the past 32 years in public education, including the past 23 years in the Minot Public School system. He spent 28 years as an elementary principal, retiring as principal of Lewis and Clark Elementary in 2023.
“We are excited to have Pat joining our Minot State Advancement and MSU Development Foundation team,” said MSU Development Foundation Executive Director Rick Hedberg. “He’s been involved with campus and various activities and fundraisers at MSU for many years.

He’s well respected and has been able to hit the ground running in this new role.”
His ties to Minot State and the education system extend throughout his family as his wife, Elizabeth, is a 1996 MSU grad and special education teacher at Minot Public Schools.
