NDUS students, faculty invited to Summit Oct. 9-10 The students and faculty of the North Dakota University System meet every two years to celebrate the arts and humanities and to share their works with the public. This time the Summit meets at Bismarck State College Oct. 9-10, and everyone is cordially invited. For two days there are 40 events with speakers, artists, musicians, philosophers, historians, humanists, and experts. Those will be on campus. On Thursday night, the famous writer Sherman Alexie will present the address at the Grand Belle Mehus Auditorium in downtown Bismarck. On Friday night, acts from several campuses will perform a seamless Collage Concert, also at the Belle. The public is welcome to all these free events, too. Registrants of the NDUS can sign up for free lunches. Read the details and register at http://www.bismarckstate.edu/summit/ . To see what we are studying today, albeit a small snapshot, is impressive. Even if you can't attend the Summit, take a look at the many talents and knowledge of the people in our university system on that web site. -- NDUS Arts and Humanities Summit Committee.
