The campus is invited to an induction ceremony for the Tapestry of Diverse Talents Wednesday Feb. 21, at noon in the Memorial Union’s Century Theater. Diversity Impact Award recipients also will be honored. A reception will follow in the Butte Lounge.

Inductees will include:

• Asif Arshid, doctoral student in civil engineering

• NDSU alumna Amy Jacobson, BS ’09, arts, humanities and social sciences

The Tapestry of Diverse Talents is a pictorial mosaic that recognizes students, faculty, staff and alumni for their contributions to diversity. Inductees support and advocate for diversity on the basis of age, color, gender expression/identity, mental and physical ability, race, socioeconomic status, religion, sex, sexual orientation and veteran status of the university community.
