UND Faculty visit Three Tribes Museum
UND Faculty visit Three Tribes Museum
For the fourth year, President Robert and First Lady Marcia Kelley will lead the annual bus tour for new UND faculty and staff, taking a route along the northern tier of North Dakota Aug. 15-17.
“I’m starting my senior year,” quipped President Kelley.
The tradition was launched 21 years ago by former UND President Tom Clifford as a way to acquaint the University’s new faculty and staff with people and places in North Dakota. It also provides an opportunity to learn about the challenges and opportunities shaping the state.
Kelley’s firsthand experience as a newcomer to the state in 2008 helps him understand the value of the tradition.
