A NEW ERA OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Part 1: North Dakota

May 2, The Chamber’s Eggs and Issues series welcomed the business community to learn about higher education in the state of North Dakota, as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the North Dakota University System.

May Eggs and Issues brought together two presidents within the North Dakota University System –Dr. David Cook, who serves at a research university (NDSU) and Dr. Rod Flanigan, who serves at a community college (NDSCS). While these two schools may differ in many ways, they also have many commonalities. They are producing students who meet the needs of our economy and working class. These students are the future of our workforce, so it is important to support North Dakota’s higher education and understand how vital it is to the success of our communities.

Coming this fall: Part 2 - A New Era of Higher Education in Minnesota featuring the presidents of Concordia College, M State and MSUM.
