The Department of Communication at the University of North Dakota is hosting Communication Appreciation Day on April 20th, 2023 (Thursday), 9:30 am to 12:30 pm at the UND Memorial Union Ballroom. This event is open to anyone interested in the communication degree and career opportunities including high school students and their parents, current UND students, advisers, etc.

Communication Appreciation Day is the department's annual event designed to provide prospective and/or current students with a greater understanding of the communication major. It also allows department's alumni to share various career opportunities that become available with the communication major.

As part of this event, the UND Department of Communication offers scholarship opportunities for high school and transfer students who attend Communication Appreciation Day. Winners will receive a $1,000 scholarship to attend UND and major in Communication. More information can be found: https://bit.ly/2023CommAppDayScholarshipGuide
