Third Annual Community Connect Forum

On April 24, North Dakotans are invited to a unique opportunity to learn from tribal, rural and University of North Dakota peers at a community-university forum. Finding Common Cultural Ground: Heritage, Education, Tourism is the theme for the Third Annual Community Connect Forum, to be hosted by Cankdeska Cikana (Little Hoop) Community College in Fort Totten. The event is free and open to the public. The forum is part of the Community Connect Project, coordinated by the UND Center for Community Engagement. Dozens of communities and organizations across the state, as well as UND faculty and students, have been involved over the past few years in conversations to connect regional communities. The first two forums, Generating Ideas through Partnerships (Grand Forks, 2008) and Focus on Community Entrepreneurship (Rugby, 2009), gathered several hundred participants to discuss topics of mutual interest. Those interested in sharing community projects on cultural heritage, education or tourism, are encouraged to register an exhibit or propose a roundtable discussion. Exhibiters can showcase projects on display boards, and discussion facilitators are asked to prepare talking points to direct the conversation. Registration for attendees is due April 9.
