Nontraditional Student Recognition Week

Nontraditional Student Recognition Week

November 5-9, 2012

"Nontraditional Student Recognition Week” is a national celebration held in the first week of November each year by ANTSHE, Association of Nontraditional Students in Higher Education. In celebration, the Student Success Center and Adult Re-entry program would like to recognize the support many campus departments provide and celebrate nontraditional student success.

Departments who host or sponsor a nontraditional student activity or event during this week should contact our office, so we can spotlight nontraditional student efforts at UND. A calendar of events will be updated and posted here, so check back for updates!

In addition, nominations are being sought to recognize a non-traditional student on our campus and highlight his/her successful efforts in academic commitment, leadership, and personal challenges he/she has contributed on the way to reaching his/her academic goals. Please take the time to nominate a student in your department for the “Nontraditional Student Recognition” award.

Nominations are due by noon on Friday, October 19 2012.
