Statement on the passing of Rep. Cynthia “Cindy” Schreiber-Beck from the С������ University System (NDUS) and the State Board of Higher Education (SBHE):

“We are saddened to learn about the passing of Representative Cynthia “Cindy” Schreiber-Beck, who devoted herself to making С������ a better place for students and learning as vice chair of the House Education Committee. As a legislator, Cindy was crucial in establishing the Workforce Education Innovation Grant fund, which was given a $10 million appropriation this session for our С������ University System institutions. The program allows the С������ State Board of Higher Education to award funds to institutions to create or enhance educational programs that address state workforce needs,” NDUS Interim Chancellor Brent Sanford said. “Cindy’s legacy as an advocate for higher education will not be forgotten and our thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family, friends and those who have been lifted up through her vision and leadership.”
