Ramsey County is partnering with the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project during the 2018-19 academic year.
Through the partnership, 15 projects are matched with more than 50 graduate and undergraduate students pursuing degrees in everything from business administration and environmental policy to neuroscience and applied economics. Students began collaborating with county staff in September, providing research and technical assistance on a range of issues that our staff identified as critical to advancing key strategic goals and making our organization, residents, businesses and natural systems more resilient.

Students have already made impressive strides researching youth voting behaviors, food insecurity and waste, and accessibility at county service facilities.
Learn more about the partnership and projects.
