Enhance the Quality of Life for Faculty and Staff
An Exceptional UND can only be as “exceptional” as its people. The University and the Grand Cities are widely recognized for being safe, family friendly, and committed to health and wellness. An Exceptional UND continually invests in its most important asset — its people — by providing opportunities for career development, promoting a healthy work-life balance, and maintaining an environment of openness and appreciation. Examples from the 2010 Consultants' Report include:
- Mid-career faculty development opportunities
- Staff career advancement programs
- Employment opportunities for spouses and partners
- Affordable, high-quality childcare
- Innovative health-and-wellness initiatives
- Recruit, retain, and develop a diverse faculty, staff, and administration

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.
