strategies needs to focus intently on recruiting students from those communities .
We launched a new strategic planning process to help us identify our key performance indicators and set specific goals . As a part of our internal strategic planning process , we developed an initial draft of five areas of strategic importance :
• Placing more graduates in North Dakota legal positions , including in rural areas .
• Attracting more students to UND School of Law , including students from underrepresented groups .
• Strengthening and developing our programmatic areas ( Indian and Tribal Law ; Energy , Environment , and Natural Resources Law ; Aviation , Aerospace , and Technology Law ; and Rural and Agricultural Law ).
• Innovating in experiential education and research through interdisciplinary opportunities and partnerships .
• Utilizing recurring assessments to enhance our curriculum for the upcoming revision to the bar exam [ or Bar Exam ] and for the next generation of legal professionals .

In the coming months we will be reaching out to the bench and the bar for your thoughts on what we are doing well and where we can improve . You can always email me directly at brian . pappas @ UND . edu as I care about what you think . I look forward to speaking with as many of you as I can in person this next academic year when I repeat my tour of all 53 North Dakota counties .
I am often asked , “ What can I do to help ?” One of our key initiatives will be to increase our student scholarship percentage . Thanks to our donors ’ generous support , we have been able not only to attract high-achieving students , but most important , reduce the amount of debt they incur while they are here . As the number of high school graduates continues to fall in our region , increasing our available scholarship dollars will be essential for us to deliver more high-quality lawyers to North Dakota communities . On behalf of our faculty , staff , and students , thank you for your support of UND Law and for generously sharing your time , talent , and treasure with our students .
