Feb. 24 and 29: Black Lives Matter event series

Building on the dialogue from last fall’s Black Lives Matter Minneapolis forum on Saint Paul Campus, the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost is sponsoring a spring semester residency for organizers from Black Lives Matter Minneapolis. As part of this residency, faculty members from across the university host organizers from Black Lives Matter Minneapolis for classroom presentations and discussions on topics related to the academic content of the their courses.
