A Word About Students
The 2008 Arts and Humanities Summit will give special attention to creating future
leaders by having professionals in our state tell, for example, how they run arts and
humanities organizations or how they engage these studies. Similarly, a traditional
scholarly paper might be presented non..traditionally; perhaps one might discuss the
genesis of the idea and how the research was conducted.
Most BSC students in arts and humanities courses will be attending Summit events in
lieu of class, and we encourage faculty across the state to think of students who will
become leaders and to ask them to attend. Also, we ask faculty to cooperate to make
sure their discipline or department is represented at the Summit, especially at the
Collage Concert. It would be ideal to have every college and university on the stage
for the Collage Concert on Friday night, as well as most of the disciplines.
Watch and listen for press releases and advertising on public radio.

All North Dakota University System faculty, students, private and tribal colleges,
and the public are invited and encouraged to participate in the 2008 fourth semi-annual
Arts and Humanities Summit. |
