Each year the University of Minnesota Alumni Association travels across the state talking about current University issues and the University’s impact on our state.
"Building and Sustaining a Strong Economy: the University of Minnesota's Unique Role"
This year's program "Building and Sustaining a Strong Economy: The University of Minnesota's Unique Role" will highlight the connection between the University of Minnesota's Reseach and Outreach Centers and its impact on teaching, discovery and the state's economy. In particular, attendees will learn about the nine Research and Outreach Centers strategically located throughout Minnesota. Faculty members will talk about such topics as feeding a growing world population, water, climate, the natural environment, reliable and accessible food growing and distribution systems, biofuels and bioproducts.
