Alma Matters May 2024 Newsletter

A group of students listening to a lecture.
CLA students are the heart and soul of the University of Minnesota. Totaling nearly half of the institution’s undergraduate students, our liberal arts scholars carry a special responsibility to define the kind of tone, culture, and environment of this living and learning community. And their contributions, both in the classroom and beyond, truly make an extraordinary impact.

Dean's Corner 

 "Our undergraduate students’ coursework, extracurriculars, internships, study abroad experiences, and leadership roles have set the groundwork to think about the future through a lens of curiosity and compassion. The people they were exposed to have shaped their relationships to one other and to society. And the ideas that sparked for them, in the classroom and beyond, represent the training they need to wonder why and what if.

I hope this month’s Alma Matters gives you a deeper insight into our dynamic student body. See for yourself, the kids are alright."
