  • Students United Has Been Excited to Hit the Ground Running in Our Legislative Advocacy Efforts at the State and Federal Level

    Students United Has Been Excited to Hit the Ground Running in Our Legislative Advocacy Efforts at the State and Federal Level

    Board of Trustees, With a quick start to the new year, Students United has been excited to hit the ground running in our legislative advocacy efforts at the state and federal level. Students United’s top legislative priority at the Minnesota legislature is the complete funding of Minnesota State’s budget request. Students are dedicated to working throughout the session —on top of classes and student life—to ensure that the cost of attending our institutions remains stable and that student services are expanded. We have already started to voice our support in both the house and the senate with State Chair McNicholes testifying to the Senate Higher Education Committee two weeks ago, stressing our support for the budget request. Last week, State Chair McNicholes was joined by me and four of our board members, the student body presidents, from Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, Metropolitan State University, and Winona State University at the House Higher Education Committee. All six of us spoke in favor of Minnesota State’s budget request while sharing our stories, and the stories of our fellow students, struggling to pay for school and face their post-graduation prospects. Students United will continue to put our lobbying efforts into supporting the budget request into next month, when we will have our virtual student meetings with legislators from all over the state. We are hopeful that students’ hard work and dedication to lobbying for sufficient funding for our colleges and universities will ensure that the cost of attending our institutions in the middle of an unprecedented set of circumstances is more manageable.

    Strategic Plan for Coldwater Resources Management in Southeast Minnesota

    Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 500 Lafayette Road St. Paul, MN 55155 Division of Fisheries Strategic Plan for Coldwater Resources Management in Southeast Minnesota 2004-2015 August 8, 2003 Division of Fisheries Mission Statement: To protect and manage Minnesota’s aquatic resources and associated fish communities for their intrinsic values and long-term ecological, commercial, and recreational benefits to the people of Minnesota. Broad Goals: 1. To make recreational fishing as good as it can be in the state of Minnesota for the present and future. 2. To maintain, enhance, or restore the health of Minnesota ecosystems so that they can continue to serve environmental, social, and economic purposes. 3. To foster an ethic of natural resource stewardship among all Minnesotans. i Executive Summary The purpose of this strategic plan is to set the direction for the long-term management of coldwater resources and trout fisheries in southeast Minnesota. This plan identifies important issues and strategies that will enable the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), Division of Fisheries, to maintain and improve the short and long-term values of this unique resource and provide its angling clientele with diverse angling opportunities including good catch rates, multiple species of trout, and a chance of catching a large trout. This plan will provide long-term continuity to management efforts and function as a guide for securing the knowledge, input, staff, and funding to attain the stated management goals. This strategic plan will encompass the 12-year period from 2004 through 2015. Long-range plans will be developed and reviewed every 6 years to define the specific ma nagement actions required to achieve the goals in this strategic plan.
  • Northeast Minnesota: New Possibilities in the North Country by Jay Walljasper

    Northeast Minnesota: New Possibilities in the North Country by Jay Walljasper

    THE McKNIGHT FOUNDATION FOOD FOR THOUGHT Northeast Minnesota: New Possibilities in the North Country By Jay Walljasper Commissioned by The McKnight Foundation FEBRUARY 2016 Foreword Jay Walljasper’s “Northeast Minnesota: New Possibilities in the North Country” was commissioned by The McKnight Foundation as part of our Food for Thought series — a collection of independent reports to inform our understanding of the sectors in which we operate and our related program strategies. This is the second of four case studies examining the opportunities and challenges in Greater Minnesota. In the first report, Walljasper examined some of the big ideas coming out of the southeast, including the development of the Destination Medical Center in Rochester, the vibrant arts scene in Lanesboro, and many other examples of economic diversification. In this report, he heads to the beautifully diverse landscape of northeast Minnesota. He finds that some conditions have hardly changed from 30 years ago, including the heated debates over the effects of mining as communities consider ways to preserve both livelihoods and the environment. Such dire economic pressures are precisely what led to the inception of the Minnesota Initiative Foundations, six independent regional philanthropic organizations that have disbursed more than $285 million a year since their founding in 1986. Under the direction of Virginia McKnight Binger, then board chair of McKnight, and Russ Ewald, then president, McKnight created these unique entities because it believed that the people in the best position to lead in Greater Minnesota were those who lived and worked in the communities themselves. Thirty years later, we still hold on to that principle and remain committed to a prosperous and resilient Greater Minnesota.

    Small Towns, Big Ideas

    THE McKNIGHT FOUNDATION FOOD FOR THOUGHT Jay Walljasper: Small Towns, Big Ideas Reimagining Southeast Minnesota Commissioned by The McKnight Foundation JUNE 2015 Foreword Jay Walljasper’s Small Towns, Big Ideas: Reimagining Southeast Minnesota was commissioned by The McKnight Foundation as part of our “Food for Thought” series — a collection of independent essays to help inform our understanding of the fields in which we operate and our related program strategies. This is the first in a four-part series examining the opportunities and challenges in Minnesota’s countryside. Since 1986, The McKnight Foundation has invested over $270 million in the Minnesota Initiative Foundations — six independent regional philanthropic organizations with priorities defined by the people in its own region. They offer grants and loans to support prosperous and diversified local economies, protect natural resources, cultivate strong leadership, and offer innovative social services. As communities in Greater Minnesota strive to develop 21st century economies, they face steep hurdles. High-wage jobs can be scarce. Broadband connections are erratic. Firms have trouble recruiting young talent and aspiring entrepreneurs struggle to attract investment capital. Large- scale agriculture and extractive industries deplete natural resources and leave towns vulnerable to global market swings. And then there’s the deep sense, real or imagined, that non-metro areas are underappreciated and shut out of important political conversations happening in the state capitol. It may seem like a bleak picture, but there are good reasons to be optimistic. Traveling to southeastern Minnesota, Jay Walljasper finds communities that are overcoming these adversities. His report highlights some innovative examples of economic resilience that could serve as models for the entire Midwest.
