‘I couldn’t be prouder of UND,’ said President Andy Armacost as he took part in one of many Homecoming Week celebrations
Editor’s note: For their first Homecoming celebration featuring in-person events since 2019 , UND and the UND Alumni Association & Foundation planned an especially busy week, one that featured a 5-K run, a blood drive, the UND Sioux Awards Banquet and the grand opening of a new and unique oil-drilling simulator.
Other events included a Drive-In Movie (in the Alerus Center parking lot) hosted by UND Greek Life, a Continuing Medical Education Symposium on aging and an open house at the new Gershman Graduate Center.
Highlights of several events from the week are shown in the video above and the photos below.
