President Dean L. Bresciani is planning a series of forums with the academic colleges at NDSU throughout January. College members will be invited to participate in the 90-minute sessions. President Bresciani plans to open the forums with comments for a few minutes, and the remainder of the time will be for questions and comments.

"Our academic faculty and staff are literally the lifeblood of NDSU, and I am anxious to spend more time in conversation with them," Bresciani said. "NDSU is on a positive trajectory, and uniquely positioned to serve the state and the nation. I look forward to hearing ideas, concerns, successes and challenges as we move forward."

Each dean's office will provide schedule information.
