GlobalInvest in the World's Greatest Minds
An important part of what makes the University of Minnesota successful on the international stage is the ability to attract top global talent, and connect faculty and students with world-class thinkers.
It is imperative that the University continue to welcome international students and scholars from all backgrounds and locations—not just those who can afford it without assistance.
The entire campus community benefits from the sharing of unique perspectives, cultures, and ideas that inspire innovation and ultimately lead to a greater competitive edge. These interactions build bridges between Minnesota and other countries, opening doors to significant impact for years to come. The world is choosing the University of Minnesota, and we must continue to make it possible.
