There is a strong consensus that the nation’s economic future hinges upon higher education’s ability to graduate the innovative thinkers and the diverse, skilled workforce necessary in a rapidly-changing world.
In Minnesota, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education tracks progress on goals regarding increased college access and success and the development of a globally competitive workforce. Other stakeholders, from the Citizens League to Growth and Justice, to the Itasca Project support increased college attendance.
Nationally, political leaders including President Barack Obama and the National Governors Association, join private funders such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Lumina Foundation for Education to promote greater skills development and college completion rates.
Please join campus and community leaders for a rich discussion of civic engagement’s positive impact on these critical public priorities. Hear stories of specific, effective efforts across Minnesota. Share your own perspective.
Registration is free and open to all. Simply RSVP from the links above. If you have a powerful success story to share at a forum please email John Hamerlinck or call 320-308-4271.
