CommUniversity begins Feb. 3 @ DSU Posted on 1/28/2013
CommUniversity is a month of non-credit courses related to the humanities, daily living and public issues designed to stimulate thought and enrich lives. It is a joint effort each February between DSU and the Dickinson community to support lifelong learning, and as such depends upon the generous donations of community members for its continued operation.
