Volunteers sought for new task force

Dear UND Colleagues,

As we think about national events and Goal 5 (Inclusion) of our One UND Strategic Plan, there is a tremendous need and an opportunity to create a comprehensive action plan for how we move the UND campus forward—together—to  create opportunities for diversity and inclusion.

Toward that end, we are launching a new task force for diversity and inclusion that will identify areas we need to address as a campus, both our challenges and our opportunities. This work will lay a foundation for updating our strategic plan to focus squarely on goals and initiatives that achieve a stronger sense of belongingness and equity.

If you would like to volunteer for this task force, or to nominate another person to serve, please visit this Qualtrics site and be prepared to state why you or the person you are nominating would be a great choice. We are looking for team members with a wide set of backgrounds and ideas. Nominations will be accepted through July 10.

We appreciate that you took the time to read this message and hope you will consider volunteering or nominating someone for this necessary and important work.

With respect,

Andy Armacost, UND President
Jeff VanLooy, University Senate President
Liz Legerski, Incoming University Senate President
Matt Ternus, Student Body President
Megan Wasylow, Staff Senate President
