| The University of Minnesota Alumni Association, along with University deans and faculty members, will travel to more than 35 Minnesota communities to talk about the ‘U’ and how its teaching, research and outreach benefit specific areas and the entire state. Speakers will discuss their cutting-edge research and the U's involvement with society’s most pressing issues.
The purpose of the tour is to help the citizens of Minnesota understand that the University touches and belongs to each and every one of the five million people in the state. We want the people of Minnesota to realize that the University of Minnesota teaches the people who solve the problems and change the world.
Hear an MP3 audio clip of Alumni Association CEO Margaret S. Carlson talking about the statewide tour here.
The Alumni Association organized short tours in early 2006 and early 2007. Read what Margaret Carlson, Alumni Association CEO and former president of the Minneapolis Rotary Club #9, has to say about those tours here.
