Hello-
We are enjoying the beautiful winter weather here in Morris and all the shoveling that goes along with it (my kids love playing in it though!)! I wanted to make you aware of a couple of things going on here at UMM...
First, the year 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the University of Minnesota, Morris! In order to celebrate, UMM has numerous events planned- check them out here: 2010.morris.umn.edu.
Second, we are in the process of funding and purchasing two more wind turbines to put up on the hill outside of town, helping us reach our goal of carbon neutrality. We are also hoping to finish up the biomass plant and have that running sometime this spring. Read more about our Green Initiatives here.
Last, the Welcome Center on campus just opened up! It is the old community service building and will house the admissions staff as well as other departments. They are in the process of moving in now and we are excited to have prospective students start their campus visits in the newly renovated building!
Have a great week!
