NDUS welcomes all faculty to the North Dakota University System's Arts and Humanities Summit on the campus of Valley City State University Thursday-Friday, Oct. 11-12. The two day conference will be packed with presentations and events. We encourage everyone to consider the ways they can contribute to this event.

This year, the guest performer will be Joy Harjo. Harjo is a celebrated writer and musician. She will be performing a concert the evening of Oct. 11, with a reading and book signing on the morning of Oct. 12.

The event also includes a luncheon with special guest Chancellor Ham Shirvani on Oct. 11. The summit will be concluded with a banquet and comedy hour the evening of the 12th.

All events, meals, and registration are free. We encourage all attendees of the conference to bring a picture or photo of their favorite bridge for an interactive display during the summit.

Registration and proposals are open for submissions. Proposals are due Monday, Sept. 10. You can register at www.vcsu.edu/ndusahs.
