NDSU Group Decision Center will host an open house on Thursday, April 23, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Group Decision Center in the NDSU Family Life Center, room 320. Center board members, contributing partners and guests are invited to celebrate the 10 years of service the Group Decision Center has provided to students and community partners to better serve the region.
Highlights of the open house include the unveiling of the newly refurbished location and upgraded services. Refreshments will be served.
NDSU, with Cargill as the major corporate contributor, initiated the Group Decision Center and opened its doors Sept. 1, 1998. The center consists of a network of 40 computers linked by a collaborative group software enabling simultaneous and anonymous discussion. The center is primarily used for student and faculty development and secondarily for research and service. It provides the only student-focused facility in the Northern Plains using ThinkTank software.
The mission of the center is to significantly enhance the climate for group decision-making, civil discourse and the planning process of the university and community.
