Encouraging Gathering
An Exceptional UND values personal interaction as the very life of the university experience. As members of a learning community, we thrive by gathering and sharing, by challenging and exploring, by supporting and understanding. An Exceptional UND grows as we build enthusiasm and a sense of belonging. Examples from the 2010 Consultants' Report include:
- Commons for Learning and Inquiry, a 21st-century information hub supporting both physical and virtual gatherings and collaborative teaching and research
- Center for Exceptional Teaching and Learning
- Chester Fritz Library transformation to support advanced learning and discovery
- Student Social Center
Initiatives in Progress

2.03 - Enhance the Student Voice through the Student Working Advisory Group (SWAG)
Vision Statement
An Exceptional UND will be a nationally and internationally recognized state university in which a community of dedicated teacher-scholars promote the public well-being and educate the next generations of students to be leaders in shaping a better future.
