Four people are scheduled to be inducted into the Tapestry of Diverse Talents on Thursday, Feb. 19, at 12:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union Century Theatre. 

The inductees include Syed Owais Ahmed
, graduate student in the Department of Construction Management and Engineering; Alicia Kauffman, director of International Student and Study Abroad Services; Kelly Sassi, associate professor of English; and Molly Secor-Turner, assistant professor of nursing.

“Diversity at NDSU is about more than just recognizing our various backgrounds, ethnicities and life experiences,” said Nate Bailly, graduate assistant for service learning and civic engagement. “It’s about playing an active role in bridging differences so that we can help advance the success of our students. Inductees into the tapestry reflect this.”

Following the induction ceremony, a reception is scheduled in the Butte Lounge.

The Tapestry of Diverse Talents is a program of the Memorial Union that recognizes students, faculty, staff and alumni for the diversity and contributions they bring to NDSU.

As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
