“Wow, I had no idea …” the UND Alumni Magazine team repeated as we developed the main feature of this issue focused on UND’s position as a world leader in Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
The groundbreaking program, while being at the forefront of technology, is impacting industry and collaborating across campus to such an extent that it was difficult to encompass everything in this issue. Even so, we hope you learn something new about the great work happening right here at UND.
