NDSU faculty and guest speakers will offer sessions on a variety of in-demand topics and will be available for a live Q&A portion at the end of each session to help answer your questions. You may also opt to attend one of our lunch sessions to connect with a speaker, ask your education-related questions, and seek guidance for individuals interested in entering a graduate program in education at NDSU.
