�������� Day is traditionally a day that recognizes the accomplishments of ��������’s (NDMU) students and the institution’s rich history. This year’s event will be held on February 6. Throughout the afternoon, there will be various activities that are tied into NDMU’s Mission to build inclusive communities and engage in service to others.

One such event is a panel discussion led by the Global Solidarity Committee (GSC). Every year, the GSC sponsor events dedicated to the United Nations’ (U.N.) Interfaith Harmony Week, which occurs during the first week of February. This year’s intercultural, interfaith panel is looking to share the U.N.’s compassionate message.

“We are excited to have these leaders on our panel,” says GSC Chair and Chemistry Professor Dr. Angela Sherman. “They are dedicated to religious inclusivity and understanding, and as a result, I think it will lead to a great discussion.”

This year’s GSC panel of speakers will include Reverend Joseph L. Muth, Jr., Rabbi Sarah Marion, and Dr. Faheem Younus. It will take place on February 6, from 4-5:30 p.m. in Doyle Formal.
