Griggs Center

According to research through the National Issues Forums, Americans are deeply worried that the social fabric may be unraveling--people seem less and less able to work across differences to get anything done. Can higher education help address this problem, helping our society shift "from me to we"? During this Community Dialogue, we will explore what this means to UMD and Duluth, and identify local opportunities for action and collaboration.

Join the UMD Alumni Association and Duluth community professionals for UMD Networking Night on Wednesday, November 14
Starting at 5:30 pm.
This event will take place at the Zeitgeist Atrium in downtown Duluth (222 East Superior St.)
