The '''University of North Dakota''' ('''UND''') is a [[public university]] in [[Grand Forks, North Dakota]], [[United States|USA]]. Established by the [[Dakota Territory|Dakota Territorial]] Assembly in 1883 — six years before the establishment of the [[U.S. state|state]] of [[North Dakota]] — UND now enrolls over 12,500 students and is the oldest and largest university in the state.<ref name="aboutund">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/aboutund/ |title=About UND |accessdate=2007-08-25 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota}}</ref><ref name="enrollment"/> UND was founded as a university with a strong liberal arts foundation.<ref name="aboutund"/> Today, UND also offers a variety of professional and specialized programs, including the only schools of law and medicine in the state.<ref name="aboutund"/> UND is also known for its [[John D.

Roughly half of the student body is from North Dakota with the remainder coming from around the nation and the world.<ref name="aboutund"/> UND’s economic impact on the state and region is more than $1 billion a year and it is the second largest employer in the state of North Dakota, after the [[United States Air Force|Air Force]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.und.nodak.edu/president/html/stateofu/stateofu05.htm |title=2005 State of the University Address |accessdate=2007-08-25 |format= |publisher=UND: Office of the President}}</ref> Recently, UND has put an emphasis on research and currently specializes in research involving health sciences, nutrition, energy and environmental protection, aerospace, and engineering.<ref name="aboutund"/> Several research institutions are located on the UND campus including the [[Energy and Environmental Research Center]], the [[University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences|School of Medicine and Health Sciences]], and the [[United States Department of Agriculture|USDA]] Human Nutrition Research Center.<ref name="aboutund"/><ref name="usda">{{cite web |url=http://www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=3898 |title=GFHNRC |accessdate=2007-08-25 |format= |publisher=United States Department of Agriculture }}</ref>

==History==
[[Image:UND President's Mansion circa 1919.jpg|left|thumb|200px|President's Mansion]]
===Founding===
UND was founded in 1883, six years before North Dakota became a state.<ref name="founding">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/ |title=UND History: The Founding |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> Grand Forks native [[George H. Walsh]] submitted a bill to the Territorial Legislature of [[Dakota Territory]] that called for the new state of North Dakota's university to be located in Grand Forks.<ref name="founding"/> The university was viewed by many as the premier state institution to be given to a community; even more so than the state capitol.<ref name="founding"/> The first building at UND — Old Main — housed all classrooms, offices, dorm rooms, and a library.<ref name="old main">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/oldmain.html |title=UND History: Old Main |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> In the 1880s, UND consisted of only a few acres of property surrounded by farms and fields.<ref name="old main"/> At this time, the campus was nearly two miles west of the city of Grand Forks. Students living off campus had to take a train or a horse and carriage bus — dubbed the "Black Maria" — from downtown to the campus.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1890.html |title=UND History: 1890 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref>
===20th century===
[[Image:UND 1922.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Early 20th century campus scenes]]
Gradually, more buildings were constructed on campus and a trolley system was built to connect the growing university to [[downtown Grand Forks]]. However, there were several major interruptions in the life of the university. In 1918, UND was the hardest-hit single institution in the country by the flu epidemic which killed 1,400 people in North Dakota alone.<ref name="history1910">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1910.html |title=UND History: 1910 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> Later that year, classes were suspended so the campus could become an army base for soldiers during [[World War I]].<ref name="history1910"/> During the [[Great Depression]], UND provided free housing to students willing to do manual labor on campus.<ref name="history1930">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1930.html |title=UND History: 1930 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> "Camp Depression," as it was called, consisted of railroad [[caboose]]s that housed eight male students each.<ref name="history1930"/> "Camp Depression" students did not get regular meals from the cafeteria and had to be satisfied with only free leftovers. However, a number of Grand Forks citizens often opened their homes and kitchen tables to many of these young men.<ref name="history1930"/>
After [[World War II]], enrollment quickly grew to more than 3,000.<ref name="history1940">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1940.html |title=UND History: 1940 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> A large amount of housing had to be built on campus as well as several new academic buildings.<ref name="history1940"/> The 1950s saw the rise of the [[North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's ice hockey|Fighting Sioux hockey]] tradition.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1950.html |title=UND History: 1950 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> In the 1960s and 1970s, many student protests occurred at UND.<ref name="history1970">{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1970.html |title=UND History: 1970 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> The largest occurred in May of 1970 when over 1,500 students gathered to protest the [[Kent State shootings]].<ref name="history1970"/> In 1975, enrollment swelled to a record 8,500. The 1970s also saw the establishment of the [[John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences]] at UND. The 1980s and 1990s were another period of growth for UND.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1980.html |title=UND History: 1980 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> However, the devastating [[1997 Red River Flood]] inundated numerous buildings on campus and forced the cancellation of the remainder of the school year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/1990.html |title=UND History: 1970 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref>
===21st century===
The start of the 21st century was marked by the opening of two major athletic venues for UND athletics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.und.edu/history/2000.html |title=UND History: 2000 |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=University of North Dakota }}</ref> The [[Ralph Engelstad Arena]] which is used for hockey and the [[Alerus Center]] which is used for football both opened in 2001. Millions of dollars worth of construction and renovation projects have dotted the campus landscape in recent years. As part of a plan to improve student facilities on campus, UND has recently constructed a Wellness Center, a parking garage, and a new apartment-style housing complex. Today, issues facing UND include a move of its entire athletic program to [[Division I]],<ref name="d1">{{cite news |first= |last= |coauthors= |title=North Dakota planning move to Division I in two years |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2494970 |publisher=Associated Press |date=[[June 21]], [[2006]] |accessdate=2007-09-04 }}</ref> ongoing discussions regarding the Fighting Sioux nickname,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.universityrelations.und.edu/logoappeal/ |title=NCAA Logo Appeal |accessdate=2007-09-17 |format= |publisher=UND: Office of University Relations }}</ref> the fact that UND is located in a state with a shrinking population of potential students, and efforts to increase external contributions and funding.
