Hello!
On October 15 I gave my second Chancellor’s Address in my role as a leader of Minnesota State. As I noted in the address, at the heart of what we do at Minnesota State is service: service to our 270,000 students, the 47 communities which are home to our colleges and universities, and in turn, our state. Service is embedded in the lives of our students, faculty, and staff, as well. We’ve estimated that Minnesota State students and employees give back more than $109.3 million annually in charitable donations and volunteer hours to their communities. Below are just two examples of our students, faculty, and staff being in service to others. Enjoy!
