NEWS ABOUT NDSU WOMEN FACULTY
NDSU FORWARD is committed to
establishing a university culture in which all are nurtured and supported to develop to their fullest potential, and the criteria for success and achievement incorporate unique skills and contributions of both men and women.

NDSU FORWARD will be instrumental
in creating a culture of support balanced
with concern for personal and family
values and responsibilities, enhancing
job performance and satisfaction. We
envision an environment where women
are leaders and decision makers at all
levels of the University. By these efforts
NDSU will transform as an institution
and will demonstrate its commitment to
gender equity through a record of
accomplishment in recruitment,
development, and retention of women.
