About Aviation Photographers and Enthusiast

Placeholder Image

Welcome to APE. APE is an officially recognized group at the Univesity of North Dakota at Grand Forks. APE is more than just photography, APE strives to go beyond the world of photography (although we do like to focus on that) and try and go behind the scenes and gain contacts for individuals within our orginization that could further their future careers. Some members are not even aviation students, some are marketing and other business related studies that enjoy the workings of the aviation industry. Formed in 2004, the orginization has recently changed into all new hands and strives to go for a more open and inviting atmosphere. One that everyone feels welcome and goes beyond what has been done before. APE is a student orginization where everything is done by students within the orginization. This website was created by UND students, along with much more. The orginization relies on donations from any source. APE does not have any dues to the students! So if this sounds interesting to you, come to our next event, which you can find by clicking the calendar link at the top of the page. All you need is to be a UND Student and/or faculty and have a passion for aviation!
