WHO WE ARE
The University of Minnesota contributes more than $8.6 billion a year in economic activity to the state. But the real ???return on investment??? for Minnesota lies in the excellence of our graduates, who use their skills and expertise to become our state's new leaders.
From U of M Extension offices and Research and Outreach Centers to community health clinics and testing sites for aquatic invasive species, our students, staff, and alumni are living in and contributing to communities in every corner of the state.
Our staff are known for being exceptionally dedicated???committed to the University of Minnesota's mission and to each other. While nationwide the average time spent with an employer is four years, employees stay at the U of M for an average of eight years. They stay because they know their work matters.
OUR MISSION
The University of Minnesota System is driven by a singular vision of excellence. We are proud of our land-grant mission of world-class education, groundbreaking research, and community-engaged outreach, and we are unified in our drive to serve Minnesota.
