Unless you include identifying information in your comments, the Higher Learning Commission and the institution will not have access to your identity. Your participation is completely voluntary.

Join us as we safely distance with our masks on in Professor Paul de Neui’s garage at 5523 N Christiana Avenue from 1:30 to 3:30 pm on Sunday afternoon Feb 28th for a winter seed-planting session. All materials and instruction provided. Wear warm clothing! RSVP to pdeneui@northpark.edu so we know how much hot chocolate to make.
