No industry remained untouched when the pandemic struck in March 2020, the least of which education. In just a matter of days, all educational systems immediately pivoted toward online learning to help reduce the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

Within higher education, many local administrators and instructors realized just how creative their faculty and staff could be as well as how resilient their students would remain in the face of constant change.

The gentle breeze wafted the delicious aroma of grilled steak and chicken toward me, making me rethink our dinner plans.
My neighbors were outside enjoying the warmer weather, sitting in lawn chairs while their food cooked.
I noted another neighbor working in her garden. Other people were walking their dogs, and some were wearing shorts during the unseasonably warm weather. I also noted people loading golf clubs in their trunks.

The North Dakota Board of Higher Education and the university system chancellor want Gov. Doug Burgum to veto a bill that would prevent a school from funneling grant money to a person or organization that promotes or performs abortions. University system officials say academic freedom and other factors outweigh the loss of so-called Challenge Grant funds that are authorized in the bill and would be lost if it’s vetoed. The Republican-led North Dakota Legislature passed the legislation that was primarily aimed at preventing North Dakota State University from funneling grant money to Planned Parenthood for sex education in the state.
