His presentation on Tuesday, October 29, will be followed by a law enforcement round table discussion with Dr. Thomas on October 30 at 10 a.m., as well as health care provider round table discussion with Dr. Thomas on the same day at 1p.m. Both of these discussions will take place on the UMN Crookston campus.
