Tapestry of Inclusion nominations now open

NDSU’s Tapestry of Inclusion hangs on the wall of the Memorial Union.

Nominations for NDSU’s Tapestry of Inclusion are being accepted through March 2 at 11:59 p.m.

The Tapestry of Inclusion is a textile mosaic that recognizes students, alum, faculty and staff who actively promote inclusion, diversity and belonging both at NDSU and within the community.

Inductees promote, facilitate and advocate for people from at least one of the following categories:

Age (for example children, elderly)
Ethnicity/Country of Origin
Gender Expression/Identity
Meatal and Physical Ability
Race
Socioeconomic Status
Religion
Sex
Sexual Orientation
Veteran Status

Individuals have been inducted into the Tapestry of Inclusion annually during a ceremony where they weave their piece of fabric into the Tapestry, which hangs year-round in the Memorial Union. This year’s ceremony is set for Wednesday, April 15, at noon in the Anishinaabe Theatre, located on the second floor of the Memorial Union. Following the ceremony, inductees’ photographs, biographies and fabric selections will be framed and hung alongside the Tapestry.

Fill out the nomination survey at the following link and contact two additional individuals to complete the same survey for your nomination. Please note one nomination must come from a current NDSU student, and three total nominations must be submitted for the individual to be considered for induction.
