The University of Minnesota colleges are taking their outstanding research and knowledge outside the state lines with “University of Minnesota Day in Arizona” on February 16, 2013. A fascinating array of topics will be presented in each session given by University of Minnesota Twin Cities and University of Minnesota Duluth researchers and professors from how money affects the way we think to the effects of climate change on Lake Superior.
President Eric W. Kaler, a 1982 alumnus of the U of MN, PhD, will be in attendance at the “University of Minnesota Day in Arizona” to update U of M alumni and friends on the happenings taking place with the University of Minnesota colleges.
The Minne-College offers a complimentary luncheon to begin the day of learning for those attending. Two different sessions are offered throughout the day where attendees can choose which presentation they would most enjoy.
