The University of Minnesota, Crookston
(UMC) will celebrate 100 years of academic excellence
in 2006. To recognize the University’s contribution
to the educational, social, and economic well-being
of residents of northwest Minnesota, the state, and
beyond, the University will celebrate its centennial
from June 2005 through May 2006. Many individuals and
groups have contributed to the growth and success of
UMC. A consistent trait of these individuals and groups,
beginning with UMC’s earliest days as the Northwest
School of Agriculture, was their quest to excel.
Six key goals will guide the celebration:
• Events and activities will reflect accurately
and will publicize and promote the achievements of UMC.
When appropriate, events should also demonstrate that
UMC is poised to address issues of the 21st century.
• Events will enhance the academic and intellectual
life of the UMC community.
• In the spirit of the University’s statewide
mission in public affairs, several events will serve
as a means of outreach to Crookston, northwest Minnesota,
and the State, providing individuals outside the campus
community with an opportunity to benefit from the many
programs and activities offered during the centennial
year.
• The centennial will highlight the partnerships
of the institution with the University of Minnesota
and with the Northwest Research and Outreach Center,
both of which are integral to the establishment and
success of UMC.
• Events will educate current students, alumni,
and supporters of the history of the campus and highlight
the future direction of UMC.
• The centennial events, when possible, should
attract people to the UMC campus to enhance their understanding
of the people, programs, and facilities that make UMC
great. |
