This informal session will be a chance to chat, share ideas, and connect directly with Heidi Grunwald, the NDSU interim vice president of research and creative activity. There’s no set agenda — just an open conversation about research opportunities, challenges, and how we can strengthen our research community.

Whether you have a question, an idea to discuss, or simply want to meet other researchers from across campus, this is an open space for connection and exchange.

April 27, noon - 1 pm
Peace Garden + Zoom

No RSVP required - we'll serve coffee and tea, and you are welcome to drop in for as little or as long as you'd like.
