Hello!

I’m Scott Olson, and I’m honored to serve as the new chancellor of Minnesota State.

One of the things I find most inspiring about this work is the power of higher education to positively impact the lives of students and their families for generations to come. Today, I share two stories that illustrate that impact—the first is a student who has continued a family tradition with her college choice and the second is a student who, after stopping out for a few years, followed the advice of friends and found her perfect fit. Enjoy!
