CONGRATULATIONS!
Curiosity is what drives us to discover. To keep questioning science, art, life, and opinion. To go beyond what we know. To uncover what we don’t. When you come curious to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, you’ll master the skills, learn the facts, and make the connections you need to explore the world, secure a job, and find your future. In fact, when you bring curiosity to campus, the first thing you’ll find is that you fit right in.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the University of Minnesota Twin Cities is on the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. It is important to acknowledge the peoples whose land we live, learn, and work on. We acknowledge words are not enough, and we must ensure our institution provides support and access to higher education for American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
OUR COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING DIVERSITY,
EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
The Office of Admissions, along with the University community, vows to support our community members who continue to face inequities. We know, however, that words are not enough, and that a commitment to action will not suffice.
We must demonstrate that we are taking that action. It will take courage to confront our past mistakes and our personal and institutional biases, to have difficult conversations, and to risk missteps. As an institution of teaching and learning, we are both obligated and well-positioned to do just that.
We denounce all forms of violence, discrimination, racism, and bias. We join President Gabel in committing to bring our energy, our passion, and our care for each other to end the heartbreaking cycle of racially motivated violence and discrimination.
The University of Minnesota is closely monitoring COVID-19. We continue to work closely with state and federal agencies to ensure the safety of our students, faculty, staff, and community members. For the most up-to-date information, please visit z.umn.edu/CampusUpdates.
