Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship are essential skills for students and faculty. One of the best way to improve these skills is through collaboration.

That’s why The Nice Center is excited to announce the 2019 Nice Faculty Fellows.

About the Nice Faculty Fellows

Nice Faculty Fellows are working across campus and the community to solve “wicked problems” that require collaboration and creativity. In their classes and projects, they are helping to make North Dakota State University more entrepreneurial and innovative. They are also building relationships and community that will power future collaboration and work.

Nice Faculty Fellows solve “wicked problems” and make North Dakota State University more entrepreneurial and innovative.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to join these positive and ambitious Fellows for 12 months of collaboration and ecosystem-building. Without further ado, let’s introduce you to this year’s Fellows.

Meet The Nice Faculty Fellows

The 13 Nice Faculty Fellows represent nine departments across the campus of North Dakota State University.
