Learning about the United States is something we should put as a priority in our geography lessons. These free resources and Free State Report Templates for US Geography will help your students learn all about the states that make up our nation.

State Report Templates

Many students complete a state report in elementary. It can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Using state report templates can prove to be a helpful solution when it’s time for your kids to write a report on a state in the United States. 

State Reports for Elementary Students

Wondering how to begin state reports for 5th graders or any elementary grade? 

You have to provide your kids with the means to do research. This may mean that your strictly text/books homeschool may need to either find a state book in your local library, search for ebooks, or convert your homeschools into virtual schools for a bit with access to the internet.

Start with your child researching their very own state. Supply your students with grade-level appropriate report examples, a sample template or two, and let them explore.

What should be included in a state report?

Learning about states is so very important. I only realized that when I moved to another country and found that my kids knew little about the United States – not even the state we came from. It was sad and totally on me to rectify that issue.

It is simple for kids to gather information on a state. The information doesn’t have to be vast, but a few essentials can really help them understand a state and its basics.

Here are a few facts useful state report:

• State capital
• Geography and natural features
• Official State flower
• Official State song
• History on how it got its shape
• Three interesting facts they can find

The report can be in a simple template, a written report, a lapbook, slide presentations for older students, or any other project idea you can think of.

Either way, kids can retain useful information they can take with them always. Grab some free resources to help below to get started on your state study.

State Report – A State Research Project for ANY U.S. State!

Description.

• Reviews (0)

Your students will love researching and learning about ANY state with this lap book project! Everything you need to easily set up and implement a fun, hands on state research project in your classroom is included.

This packet includes separate map pages of ALL 50 states, so that you can either assign all students to research the same state (usually the one you reside in) or assign students to each create a lap book for a different state. The finished projects make a wonderful display!

If you have never used lap books before and are feeling hesitant, this packet is set up to keep it simple and headache-free.  There is NO double-sided copying with this packet. Photo examples are provided, and directions are worded clearly for student understanding.

Each student needs: 1 normal-sized file folder, copies of the packet pages, art supplies, and time to research!

If you don’t want to try the lap book approach, but still would like to use the foldables and maps, they are perfectly-sized for interactive Social Studies notebooks!

Students will explore the following areas for their state: • State Motto, Nickname, Flower, Animal, Fish, Tree, Song, and Bird • Agriculture, Manufacturing, Waterways, and Landforms • Location on a United States Map • Places of Interest • Climate • Famous People, Landmarks, Population, and Capital City • Government • Believe it or Not!

State Projects

This collection is full of state project ideas. From state reports, posters, brochures, cans, boxes, etc. you'll find a lot of creative ideas to help your students learn about the 50 states.

Using an overhead projector and an outline of their state, each student traces their state on cardboard and cuts it out. Then we make a huge bucket of salt dough and they cover their states while sculpting in rivers, mountains, etc. Once dry, they paint them, green= land, brown= mountains, blue= rivers. Then we label the state capital and other landmarks with jujubeas. After all the research and labeling is complete we all go outside on the playground and make one big huge United States puzzle.This is a great learning experience last year we had parents show up with cameras.

Students pick a state; we usually work in pairs since it is a lot of work. They need to research their state (we make up a research grid with categories of landforms, products grown and manufactured, famous people, history, trivia, etc. to organize their facts.) Then they need to create a cereal box for their state. They name the cereal based on information they learned. The front shows has the name of the cereal and a backdrop that depicts something about their state. The back of the box can be games trivia contests, etc. about their state. One side has the ingredients which are the products grown and manufactured. The other side panel has has to state facts about the history of the state (time-line, etc.). The cereal box is a real cereal box that is covered with white paper. We trace the box on butcher paper and let the children draw, write and color with it flat. Then we glue the paper to the cereal box and wrap it like a present. It gives the students an opportunity to really show their creativity.

Gather enough coffee cans or the large baby formula cans for each student. Assign each a state to research. Outside of can: Cover with a piece of construction paper. In fancy letters put the name of the state. Put symbols of the state. State seal, State song, State animal, etc. Inside the can: A cube with a picture of products grown in the state. A poem about the state, can be an acostic, or limerick. A journal of a 14 day vacation that their family takes to attractions in their state. We create a small booklet for this that fits in the can. A map of their state colored with capital, major cities, and rivers labeled. On the top of the can: Make two slits in the lid. The students take a long strip of white paper and divide it into 10 squares. In the first strip put the name of the state. In the 9 remaining squares draw pictures of attractions in their state. Put it through the slits and tape the two ends together. This will then roll like a film strip.

I've done state brochures with fifth grade. I sent away for a bunch of state tourism brochures and we went through them looking at the kinds of things that states highlight (state parks, mountain ranges, ocean beaches, cities, etc.) They did research during their computer periods. Each team decided what they wanted to include - the brochure on Pennsylvania was the best - they decided to focus on the kinds of things that families would enjoy doing in PA so they included Hershey Park and the Crayola Factory - it was adorable. I made in a cooperative group project and they did it on the computer. It really was a wonderful project.

My 4th graders made posters of our state (CA), with all the different symbols: State Seal, flag, bird, flower, tree, etc., and facts: motto, song, nickname, statehood, etc. This information can be found in encyclopedias, the internet, and our SS textbook. I found the state song on the internet, printed it out, and did some LA activities. I also played the song (available on internet!), and the kids loved singing it daily while we worked on the posters. Of course, a map of the US was on the poster, with cutout of CA glued in correct place, and down to county and city. These took about a week to create, but the kids were very engaged everyday. They then presented their posters, and the audience would try to "stump" the presenters with questions (eg:"What is the State Bird?"). I think the highlight of this activity was the discovery of the State Seal on various documents. I brought in my birth certificate and driver's license; students worked in groups to use magnifying glasses to "inspect" the Seal. Some students brought me things from home that they found with the Seal! The Seal for our state is very detailed with historical figures and symbols....perfect for the backdrop needed when we actually "studied" our State.

Here are some ideas for a state project I used when I student taught 4th grade. We made an Indiana scrapbook. We used construction paper 8 1/2 x 11 --bound together (with the library's binder)--gray (no one in the school ever uses this color so it was easy to find! The covers were blue construction paper---the kids cut out the state bird, flower, tree, and flag (all black and white xeroxed)--we then arranged these on the shape of Indiana and cut off any extra overhang--then pasted these on the blue paper. We laminated the front and the back cover before we assembled the book! Next we filled it will all kinds of info about indiana. Pictures and text--labels--even a real leaf from our state tree (we have one on school grounds)--the kids loved it! And I created quizzes and tests based on the information found in the scrapbook. One caution--I did not let my kids take these books home (those binding combs are not meant to be tossed about!)--when it was time to get ready for a quiz--I created a study guide they worked on for a week during library down time. They simply took home the study guide to study for the quiz or test.

I teach 2nd, but I had an idea that I thought would work wonderfully when teaching the states (we do states and capitals in 3rd grade)... It is called a "State Fair"...each student is assigned a state (as a class you could do your home state during whole group instruction). They would research their state, write a paragraph or report about their chosen state, have some sort of artistic component (draw/paint map, symbol, etc), create graphs maybe comparing the population, crops, or industries of your state to the assigned state, and so on.... As a culminating activity you could have a classroom or grade level "State Fair". (If you could get your grade level peers on board you could have the whole country represented!) The students would set up and present their projects either in a gallery format or a "science fair" format. In 2nd we study continents and do a similar activity with "Christmas Around the World". The students and families love it. I learn something new every year. :)

I had my class work in pairs or on their own to construct a game about our state. I gave them a rubric when I explained the lesson that outlined what they were expected to include (ex: game pieces, strategy, at least 15 cities mentioned, at least 15 facts about the state, etc.). An old clothes box makes a great box for the game! It worked out great and they had fun working on them. I was really impressed with some of the ideas they came up with. On the day they were due, each pair had to present their game to the class. Then we had a "game day" and I let them play their games for part of the afternoon. We also kept them in the room for extra things to do during indoor recess. I plan to use the same idea in the spring and they each will get to pick a different state when we focus on the entire U.S.

I actually had my kids do two projects for social studies. I teach in South Carolina, by the way. The first involved my bringing in brochures which I obtained from a SC welcome center. The kids were to create their own SC travel brochures which described the reasons why a person should visit--golf, viewing the swamps, etc. You could do this with your state. The second project was "Adopt a State." I let them choose a state, whichever one they wanted. They then did research and did the following required items: 1) drawing of the state flag; 2) description of the climate; 3) location of the state; 3)state tree, etc. They enjoyed this research project a lot. I took them to the school's library one day to get them started. Some worked on the library's computers (Internet and on-line encyclopedia, etc.) while others worked in the hardcover encyclopedias. They did a wonderful job. It made it easy for them to do the research, because I gave them a template of the requirements. I also created my own finished product, which helped them visualize what they needed to do.

Our fourth graders do our state. We make an ABC book. Each student colors the state flag, and copy of the state song, which each students copies and types on the computer.....And each student is assigned a letter and writes about something that letter stands for connected to our state. Be sure your poorest students get something simple like the state bird, flower and etc. Be sure all the state facts get included. U = when the state was admitted to the union and anything special about the date. picture of the state capitol and where it is located, write about special person who was born in our state. We put all the pages together and make a class book. We make copies one for each student. -----if you have pages left over that's ok have the first students to finish their page do another page. They love that. We are in a post card exchange and put up the United States map and put the post cards around the edge and a string going to the state they come from. Students with friends and family out of state ask them to send us a postcard. If a student goes out of state they bring back a post card for our class. So some states have more than one post card.

I just got done with state projects. I had the kids research a state (they drew names out of a hat), write a report on their state, I got outlines of the states and had them do a mural with things that represent the state they choose, and finally they had to produce a float based on the things they found out about their state. This was a big project, but I spread it out over 4 weeks--we studied 1 region of US each week with a quiz. The floats were amazing!!! In fact I got the idea from this site. The culmination was a display of the floats for the whole school, a display of the US 50 mural and a final US 50 Exam.

Independent research projects in upper elementary, independent research projects in upper elementary ela.

Every year, I plan to give my students more choice, voice, and independent project work. Of course, we also have to deal with state testing and loads of other requirements. However, giving your students independent research projects not only helps them demonstrate learning and mastery of standards, it also gives them some choices and ability to share their own unique voice! Here are some independent research projects in upper elementary ELA that your 4th through 6th graders will love!

Genius Hour

You may have heard of Genius Hour or Passion Projects. Genius Hour is considered project-based learning, and it starts with a question. Students choose their own research question about anything really, and they study it at least an hour a week. After reading/researching about their question, their final project can be something as simple as an explanatory slideshow or building their own dollhouse. The possibilities are endless.

Genius Hour can require some scaffolding at the beginning. For example, you may ask your students to research a question related to a certain topic. If you’re reading Watsons Go to Birmingham, for example, they may ask a question surrounding the Civil Rights Movement or the 1960s. The topics can be open-ended to give the students some choice but still have an overarching theme.

Once students get practice researching and coming up with their own final project, they can choose a Genius Hour topic about anything. Some example questions may include:

• How do I promote healthy eating in elementary school?
• How do I prepare for middle school?
• What is the best place to take a family vacation, and how can I plan one for my family?
• How do you start a small business as a student?

Genius Hour gives students choice and voice in the classroom, and you’ll love learning about their passions!

Author Studies

This is one of my favorite projects to use for upper elementary ELA students! I first implemented this project with fifth graders after state testing. This is the perfect time of year for an independent study, and it reinforces reading, writing, and research concepts used throughout the school year!

This project includes almost everything you need for your students to complete a research project on the author of their choosing . It sets them up to brainstorm, research, take notes, plan, and then complete a research paper on their selected authors. I have also made sure to leave some of the note-taking more generic so that you and your students can use as little or as many pages as they need.

Start by giving students the included list of possible authors to research or let them choose their own. This author may already be a favorite or one they want to know more about! Once the author is chosen, your job is to facilitate. Remind them of resources to use for research, note-taking skills and options, and let them learn and explore!

The author study resource includes everything your students need to get started. You’ll have the author examples, note sheets, rubrics, and an example research paper to help guide your instruction and student learning!

Differentiate by having students work in groups to research an author together or study different authors within the same genre. This is also a great way to culminate literature circles by having students research the author they read!

These independent research projects in upper elementary ELA are some of my favorites to provide choice while differentiating for all learners. What research projects have you tried in your ELA classroom?

State Research Projects

A state research project is the perfect summative activity for any U.S. Region, Geography class, expository text, or general research unit of study. Students will love learning about state landmarks, mottos, geography, history, and so much more!

Student Activities for State Projects

Essential Questions for State Projects

• What are some significant events in the history of my state?
• What are some facts and features that make my state unique?
• What are some interesting places within my state that people would want to visit?

State Projects

As Americans, it is important for adults and children alike to know about where we live. We are made up of 50 states, all with a unique history, geography, culture, and way of life. Learning about these states helps us connect with our country, and understand that even though we are all united, we are still very unique and special.

Research is an important skill for children to learn at a young age; it exposes students to expository text, gives them practice determining important information, and enhances note taking and presentation skills.

Students will create a historical timeline, a postcard, a spider map, and a vocabulary storyboard. Creating these visuals gives the students the opportunity to show their creativity and their unique view of the state that they have researched. In addition, the combined use of words and illustrations allows students with different learning styles to show what they know in an exciting and eye catching way.

How to Plan a State Research Project

Define your research objectives.

Think about what you are hoping to learn about your state. This will help guide your research. Write a list of topics that you will research such as geography, population, landmarks, etc.

Select a State

When choosing a state to research, be sure that it is one that you are interested in! The more excited you are to learn about the state, the better the outcome will be.

Conduct Research

Using your objectives as a guide, conduct your research using books and websites. Be sure to use your own words when taking notes.

Create and Present!

How will you present your project? A storyboard is always a great way to wow your audience! You could also make a poster, a slideshow, or even a video!

Frequently Asked Questions about State Research Projects

How do i choose a state to research.

When choosing a state, be sure it is one that you are interested in learning all about! It is important that you want to spend time learning about the state, so that you produce your best work.

What are some topics that I should research about my state?

Some popular topics to research about a state are: geography, population, climate, popular places to visit, fun facts, state motto, state capital, large cities, and even famous people from that state.

What resources should I use to conduct my research?

There are lots of kid-friendly websites for state research. You could also use books in your class library such as social studies text books.

If you are struggling with teaching the research report process, you are not alone. Seriously, we’ve all been there!

I spent several years avoiding research reports in my classroom or depending on the Library-Media Specialist to teach the research process.

One year, I decided to take the plunge and teach my students how to research a topic and write a research report.

The process was clunky at first, but I learned a lot about how students approach research and how to guide them from choosing a topic to completing their final copies.

Before we discuss the HOW , let’s talk about the WHY .

Why should you assign research reports to 5th and 6th grade students?

I have three main reasons for assigning research reports to my students.

First, the skill involved in finding reliable sources and citing sources is valuable.

Beginning in 5th grade, and possibly even before, students need to be able to discern the reliability of a source . They should be able to spot propaganda and distinguish between reputable sources and phony ones.

Teaching the procedure for citing sources is important because my 5th grade students need to grasp the reality of plagiarism and how to avoid it.

By providing information about the sources they used, students are consciously avoiding copying the work of authors and learning to give credit where credit is due.

Second, by taking notes and organizing their notes into an outline, students are exercising their ability to find main ideas and corresponding details.

Being able to organize ideas is crucial for young writers.

Third, when writing research reports, students are internalizing the writing process, including organizing, writing a rough draft, proofreading/editing, and writing a final draft.

When students write research reports about topics of interest, they are fine-tuning their reading and writing skills.

How to Teach Research Reports in Grades 5 & 6

As a veteran upper elementary teacher, I know exactly what is going to happen when I tell my students that we are going to start research reports.

There will be a resounding groan followed by students voicing their displeasure. (It goes something like this…. “Mrs Bazzit! That’s too haaaaaaard!” or “Ugh. That’s boring!” *Sigh*  I’ve heard it all, lol.)

This is when I put on my (somewhat fictional) excited teacher hat and help them to realize that the research report process will be fun and interesting.

Step 1: Choose a Topic and Cite Sources

Students definitely get excited when they find out they may choose their own research topic. Providing choice leads to higher engagement and interest.

It’s best practice to provide a list of possible research topics to students, but also allow them to choose a different topic.

Be sure to make your research topics narrow to help students focus on sources. If students choose broad topics, the sources they find will overwhelm them with information.

Too Broad: American Revolution

Just Right: The Battle of Yorktown

Too Broad: Ocean Life

Just Right: Great White Shark

Too Broad: Important Women in History

Just Right: The Life of Martha Washington

Be sure to discuss appropriate, reliable sources with students.

I suggest projecting several examples of internet sources on your technology board. Ask students to decide if the sources look reliable or unreliable.

While teaching students about citing sources, it’s a great time to discuss plagiarism and ways to avoid it.

Students should never copy the words of an author unless they are properly quoting the text.

In fact, I usually discourage students from quoting their sources in their research reports. In my experience, students will try to quote a great deal of text and will border on plagiarism.

I prefer to see students paraphrase from their sources because this skill helps them to refine their summarization skills.

Citing sources is not as hard as it sounds! I find that my students generally use books and internet sources, so those are the two types of citations that I focus on.

How to cite a book:

Author’s last name, First name. Title of Book. City of Publication: Publisher, Date.

How to cite an internet article:

Author’s last name, First name (if available). “Title of Article or Page.” Full http address, Date of access.

If you continue reading to the bottom of this post, I have created one free screencast for each of the five steps of the research process!

Step 2: Take Notes

During this step, students will use their sources to take notes.

I do provide instruction and examples during this step because from experience, I know that students will think every piece of information from each source is important and they will copy long passages from each source.

I teach students that taking notes is an exercise in main idea and details. They should read the source, write down the main idea, and list several details to support the main idea.

I encourage my students NOT to copy information from the source but instead to put the information in their own words. They will be less likely to plagiarize if their notes already contain their own words.

Additionally, during this step, I ask students to write a one-sentence thesis statement. I teach students that a thesis statement tells the main point of their research reports.

Their entire research report will support the thesis statement, so the thesis statement is actually a great way to help students maintain a laser focus on their research topic.

Step 3: Make an Outline

Making an outline can be intimidating for students, especially if they’ve never used this organization format.

However, this valuable step will teach students to organize their notes into the order that will be used to write the rough draft of their reports.

Because making an outline is usually a new concept for my 5th graders, we do 2-3 examples together before I allow students to make their outlines for their research reports.

I recommend copying an outline template for students to have at their fingertips while creating their first outline.

Be sure to look over students’ outlines for organization, order, and accuracy before allowing them to move on to the next step (writing rough drafts).

Step 4: Write a Draft

During this step, each student will write a rough draft of his/her research report.

If they completed their outlines correctly, this step will be fairly simple.

Students will write their research reports in paragraph form.

One problem that is common among my students is that instead of writing in paragraphs, they write their sentences in list format.

I find that it’s helpful to write a paragraph in front of and with students to remind them that when writing a paragraph, the next sentence begins immediately after the prior sentence.

Once students’ rough drafts are completed, it’s time to proofread/edit!

To begin, I ask my students to read their drafts aloud to listen for their own mistakes.

Next, I ask my students to have two individuals look over their draft and suggest changes.

Step 5: Final Draft

It’s finally time to write final drafts!

After students have completed their rough drafts and made edits, I ask them to write final drafts.

Students’ final drafts should be as close to perfect as possible.

I prefer a typed final draft because students will have access to a spellchecker and other features that will make it easier to create their final draft.

Think of a creative way to display the finished product, because they will be SO proud of their research reports after all the hard work that went into creating them!

When grading the reports, use a rubric similar to the one shown in the image at the beginning of this section.

A detailed rubric will help students to clearly see their successes and areas of needed improvement.

Once students have completed their first research projects, I find that they have a much easier time with the other research topics assigned throughout the remainder of the school year.

Research Positions | Advancing Economic Mobility at Community Colleges

The Project on Workforce is looking for four researchers to assist us with our new project: Data and Technology in Action: Advancing Economic Mobility at Community Colleges.

Applications close at 5:00pm ET on April 19.

Project Overview

About the Position

Ideal Candidates

Additional Information

About the Project on Workforce

In many parts of the U.S., broad-access community colleges are the primary source of talent for the region’s industries and the most promising path to economic mobility for learners and workers. Forty eight percent of Hispanic college students, 39% of Black students, and 52% of Native American students are enrolled at community colleges, and nearly 30% of community college students are the first in their families to attend college.(1) Research shows that when community colleges work with industry partners toward a shared economic strategy, they can increase wages and employment rates and boost regional productivity.(2)

Project on Workforce research on colleges and economic mobility ( here , here , here , and here ) and insights from the Education Design Lab’s Community College Growth Engine , show that access to–and the ability to leverage–accurate, real-time labor market information (LMI) is a crucial lever for institutions to align with employers and prepare students for in-demand career fields. Data and analytics provided by Lightcast, Chmura (through JobsEQ) and Steppingblocks are a few high-quality LMI sources for colleges. Unfortunately, many community colleges do not have access to LMI, or if they do, resource constraints hinder their ability to apply it strategically. As emerging technologies like generative AI transform the labor market, it will be more important than ever for colleges to stay attuned–and adapt–to industry shifts. Institutions also have the opportunity to leverage these technologies to improve their own processes and education offerings to enhance students’ economic prospects.

To address this pressing need, the Project on Workforce is launching a new research and design project with the Education Design Lab . This joint initiative will work with state systems and community colleges to improve the ways they can leverage real-time LMI and emerging technologies to advance economic mobility for their students. Four Harvard graduate researchers will be placed within community colleges and state higher education agencies to analyze their use of LMI and technology. Each researcher will be responsible for producing a case study that highlights models, challenges, and best practices. Informed by this research and supported by the Education Design Lab, the researchers will develop strategic projects for the colleges to improve their processes and pathways.

About this Position

Northwestern to build new softball stadium

• Student Experience

Northwestern University’s Big Ten Champion softball program has received a $5 million gift from Northwestern Trustee and former student-athlete Harreld N. “Kip” Kirkpatrick III ’94, ’97 MBA and his wife, Sara Kirkpatrick. The gift will support the construction of a new softball stadium, which will be named Kip and Sara Kirkpatrick Stadium.

“We are deeply grateful for Kip and Sara’s incredible dedication and generosity to many areas across the University,” Northwestern President Michael Schill said. “One of Northwestern’s stated priorities is to enhance the student-athlete experience. With this new gift, the Kirkpatricks are making a significant impact on Northwestern softball for years to come and helping ensure that the team’s facilities match the distinction of the overall program.”

The project will create spaces for student-athletes, increase the stadium’s seating capacity and elevate the fan experience. Construction is expected to begin in 2025, with completion anticipated by spring 2026. The softball team will continue playing home games on the current field during construction.

“Through their philanthropy, Kip and Sara Kirkpatrick are not only supporting our softball student-athletes in their continued success but also helping advance women’s collegiate athletics on a grander scale,” said Dr. Derrick Gragg, the Combe Family Vice President for Athletics and Recreation.

The Kirkpatricks’ gift kicked off a fundraising drive to support additional aspects of the new stadium . Several spaces are available for naming. Learn more about opportunities to support this project.

“The transformation of our stadium will have a tremendous impact, creating an environment for our student-athletes and fans that will complement the championship play of our program,” Head Coach Kate Drohan said. "As a former student-athlete at Northwestern, Kip understands the amazing life lessons learned on our campus, especially through sports. This gift is a commitment to the standard of excellence here at Northwestern, ensuring that our student-athletes can train and compete in a state-of-the-art facility.

“On behalf of the entire Northwestern softball family — especially our alumni and current and future student-athletes — we sincerely thank Kip and Sara Kirkpatrick for their belief in our program.”

The design will feature a team clubhouse with a players’ lounge and new locker rooms. In the new layout, softball student-athlete support areas — for training, team development, practice and competition — will be centrally located and easier for the student-athletes to access.

Kirkpatrick Stadium also will include:

• New dugouts and a clubhouse connected to the home dugout
• New seating bowl and concourse with chairback seating
• New restrooms
• Expansive press box for full TV and radio coverage
• New entrance with courtyard space for tailgating and special events
• Improved ADA accessibility

“It is an honor to be able to give back to the University that gave me so much,” Kip Kirkpatrick said. “We have truly enjoyed watching Wildcats softball achieve such great success on a national stage, like their appearances in the Women’s College Softball World Series, and reaching historic milestones under the direction of Coach Drohan and her team.”

“We look forward to seeing these outstanding women showcase their talent in a stadium that reflects their skill, hard work and dedication,” Sara Kirkpatrick said. “This project is an investment for today and for future generations of Wildcats softball superstars.”

“These student-athletes deserve an upgraded home that allows the women’s softball program to stand out among Big Ten collegiate programs,” Kip Kirkpatrick said. “Sara and I invite fellow Wildcats supporters to join us in helping to realize this vision.”

The playing field within the stadium will retain the name Sharon J. Drysdale Field, which was named in honor of the legendary Northwestern softball coach upon her retirement in 2001.

About Northwestern softball

Now in its 49th season, Northwestern softball is led by Head Coach Kate Drohan and her twin sister, Caryl Drohan, who are currently in their 23rd season at the helm. The Drohans took over for legendary Head Coach Sharon Drysdale, who led the Wildcats for the 23 seasons prior and took the program to unprecedented heights.

The Wildcats have appeared in 21 NCAA Tournaments, including eight in the past nine seasons, and made six appearances in the Women’s College World Series, headlined by a national runner-up finish in 2006 during which Kate Drohan and her staff were named National Coaching Staff of the Year. Northwestern’s six Women’s College World Series appearances since 1984 are the second-most among Big Ten programs.

Drysdale took over the softball program in 1979 and led the Wildcats to their first-ever Big Ten championship in 1982. Soon after, she led the Wildcats to three consecutive appearances in the Women’s College World Series, from 1984 to 1986. Drysdale captured five Big Ten titles at Northwestern and was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year three times — in 1984, 1987 and 1995. She was inducted into the National Fastpitch Coaches Association in 1994 and retired from her post in 2001.

Kate Drohan has led Northwestern softball since 2002 and is the program’s all-time wins leader with more than 750 wins. Northwestern has advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals seven times under the Drohans and has made three trips to the Women's College World Series — in 2006, 2007 and, most recently, in 2022. Kate Drohan has been named the Big Ten Coach of the Year five times in her career, including three of the past four seasons, which ranks second-most in Big Ten history. The Wildcats have won four Big Ten regular season championships under Drohan, including two consecutive titles in 2022 and 2023.

Northwestern has earned 23 All-American honors among 12 different players in the program’s history. The Wildcats have also seen 172 All-Big Ten honorees and 254 Academic All-Big Ten recipients. The program has posted a perfect 100 percent graduation success rate in each of the last four years.
