Showcase 2012

The inaugural Exceptional UND Showcase was held on April 30th, 2012. This was the first opportunity for the campus and local community to engage with a variety of Exceptional UND initiatives, all in one location. Students, faculty and staff leading the initiatives participated in a unique session of poster presentations, asking participants for input on their work. The conversation continues online. Click on any of the initiatives below to see the poster that was presented and to comment on the initiatives.
