Congratulations to Jeffrey Anvari-Clark on his successful Financial Interdependence Colloquium event held in September! Read about it in UND Today.

UND’s Nutrition & Dietetics faculty member, Dr. Nathaniel Johnson, along with colleagues from NDSU, Drs. Julie Garden-Robinson and Sherri Stastny, have clinched the “Best Poster Presentation” award at the North Dakota Nurses Association Interprofessional Collaborative Research Conference in Fargo, ND. Their outstanding work on “Going solo: ‘Living alone’ impact on health lifestyle for rural North Dakotans” has earned them the prestigious ND N&D Trophy (The North Dakota Nutrition and Dietetics Trophy). This award is unique because it celebrates the collaborative spirit between UND and NDSU, and the trophy itself will be shared between the two universities. But here’s the fun twist! The trophy will call the department office of the university that currently holds the BRAGGING RIGHTS from the LAST FOOTBALL GAME home! Meaning it is sitting comfortably here at UND. It’s a new tradition for UND and NDSU, adding a little extra excitement to the mix. Let the friendly rivalry continue! We’re proud of the incredible work you do in advancing healthcare research and making a positive impact on rural North Dakotans.
