Relationship to Campus Theme:
According to the campus catalog:
The campus focus of “Nature, Technology and Beyond” is defined by the fact that the School of Forestry
was established in 1906 and since that time, Dakota College at Bottineau has consistently utilized the
biological diversity of the region via the Turtle Mountain Forest, the prairie pothole region, the J. Clark
Salyer National Wildlife Refuge, the International Peace Garden, and Lake Metigoshe. Using these as
natural laboratories to strengthen the educational experience and continuously expanding academic
and career programming, Dakota College at Bottineau integrates technology to prepare students not
only for the present but also to go beyond and to aid in improving the future. Dakota College at
Bottineau’s diverse, natural surroundings provides examples of how and why everyone must care for
the environment. Technology aids in determining appropriate methods to solve problems and create the
change necessary to maximize positive consequences to all life. Through these and other appropriate
actions, Dakota College at Bottineau will endeavor to leave students with an ethic of concern and care
for the world.
This course specifically relates to the “Technology” aspect of the campus’ focus. In the ever-‐changing
world of the technology associated with healthcare, students will recognize how that technology plays
