****
6:30: What kinds of services does UND have available to help students struggling with stress or other mental-health issues?
9:36: How is seeking counseling/mental health services handled with the Aviation/commercial pilot students? Is there a risk in seeking help their flight school time is put on hold?

22:40: What is the University doing in the realm of parking? Any updates or priorities for the year to come?
26:38: I would like to hear updates about the status of scholarship and teaching at UND. I would also like to know whether there are any specific challenges at this point that the university faces in order to fulfill its mission. I am particularly interested in the Odegard School of Aviation Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences. Thanks!

49:30- Do you want to highlight some of the library’s newer services and things that people may be surprised to hear are happening at a university library?
