The North Dakota University System has scheduled nine Pillar events that will continue discussions started earlier this year at the Envision 2030 education summit.
The events started in mid-September and will run through October. In May, the initial Envision 2030 breakout sessions allowed stakeholders from the academic, business and legislative communities to discuss and set short-term, mid-term and long-term goals for higher education in North Dakota. The Pillar events will continue those discussions with further input from expanded groups of stakeholders on how to best reach those goals.
A Pillar event is scheduled in Fargo on Thursday, Oct. 13, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the NDSU Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center atrium. Agriculture will be the focus of the discussion.
Remaining Pillar events and topics include:
• Thursday, Oct. 6, 1-3 p.m., Valley City State University, Liberal Arts and Humanities.
• Tuesday, Oct. 11, 8-10 a.m., University of North Dakota, Tomorrow’s Student.
• Thursday, Oct. 13, 1-3 p.m., NDSU, Agriculture.
