In front of thousands of spectators at the UND-Lindenwood University hockey game, the UND Special Olympics College club was honored for making UND a top 5 Special Olympics National Unified Champion Banner School — one of most inclusive schools in the country.  

Each year, ESPN and Special Olympics recognize just 5 schools across the country for efforts that promote inclusion. UND is the only university on this year’s list.

In addition to the banner presentation, the UND Special Olympics College club athletes took part in a fan luncheon, Zamboni rides, cheering with the North Dakota Hockey Cheer Team and a ceremonial puck drop at center ice. Em Laplant also joined Ralph Engelstad Arena favorite Lacey Schuler in the singing of the National Anthem at center ice. #UNDproud
