Happy first day of classes! We’re kicking off the semester by sitting down with Dean Kraus. From a 28-year career in the U.S. Air Force to becoming Dean of the John D.

In this episode, we talk about his path to UND, experiences in the Air Force and higher education, and advice for students as they begin their own journeys.
