Each semester The Tapestry of Diverse Talents recognizes a diverse group of students, faculty, staff and alumni who contribute in many ways to North Dakota State University.  Inductees reflect the ages, classes, abilities, ethnicities, genders, races, regional differences, sexual orientations, beliefs and values of the University community.

Donald Warne, MPH Chair, was one of the individuals inducted on Friday, May 3, 2013 in the Memorial Union Century Theater.  Donna Grandbois from the NDSU Nursing department presented him with his award.  Other inductees are Betsy Birmingham-English, Faculty; Nimish Dharmadhikari-Transportation and Logistics, Student; and Lisa Hauck-International Programs, Staff.
