Nearly 550 students were eligible to cross the stage when the University of North Dakota celebrated Summer Commencement Friday, Aug. 5, 3 p.m. in the Chester Fritz Auditorium. The University graduates more than 2,200 students throughout the year.
UND President Dr. Charles Kupchella presided over the commencement activities, and Thomasine Heitkamp, chair of UND's Department of Social Work, delivered the commencement address.

Thomasine Heitkamp
Thomasine Heitkamp is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in North Dakota and a professor and chair of the UND Department of Social Work. She has been a faculty member at UND for 22 years, serving primarily as an instructor of social work policy and community practice on both a graduate and undergraduate level. Heitkamp has also administered numerous research funded projects, including contracts with the Casey Family Programs, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment through the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the Mental Health Association in North Dakota, the Minot Commission on the Status of Women, Keddish House as part of the the United States Department of Justice, North Dakota Department of Human Services, and Easter Seals. Most recently she has worked with the Government Rural Outreach Project through the College of Business and Public Administration to assist poverty-stricken communities in five states.

She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota and as a member of the management team of the School as Center of Community Project with the Grand Forks Public Schools. She is a past board member and president of Prairie Harvest Human Services Foundation. She has served on the board of the North Dakota Department of Human Services, Northeast Human Service Center, the Dakota Science Center, The Governor's Committee on Children and Youth, the North Dakota Children’s Trust Fund and United Way of Grand Forks/East Grand Forks and Area/Allocation Committee. Heitkamp has also worked as a consultant on a variety of projects including raising funds to assist in the establishment of a treatment facility for women with addictive disorders. During the 2003-2004 academic year she completed service as a Bush Teaching Scholar through the Office of Instructional Development at the University of North Dakota.

Heitkamp has focused her research efforts on the “research of engagement” -- the notion that university investigators can derive new knowledge as part of providing service to their constituents.
