Four new members will be inducted into the Tapestry of Diverse Talents during a ceremony on Friday, Dec. 9, at noon in the Memorial Union Century Theater.

Esther Hockett, visual arts and gallery coordinator; Karla Thoennes, senior associate director of Residence Life; Holly Christian, an undergraduate student majoring in zoology; and Krista Padgett, an undergraduate student majoring in sociology, will be honored during the ceremony.

The Tapestry of Diverse Talents is a program of the Memorial Union. It is a pictorial mosaic that recognizes students, faculty, staff and alumni for the diversity and contributions they bring to NDSU. Each semester individuals are inducted who reflect the ages, classes, abilities, ethnicities, genders, races, regional differences, sexual orientations, beliefs and values of the university community.
