ABOUT MINNESOTA, TWIN CITIES

At the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, curiosity and discovery are in our DNA. Located in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the university’s flagship campus provides a thriving urban environment for teaching and learn- ing, world-class research, outreach and public service. In its collective search for knowledge, Minnesota empowers faculty, staff and students and inspires the next generation of innovators. Founded in 1851, Minnesota is one of the state’s most important economic and intellectual engines. Ranked among the nation’s top public research uni- versities, the U of M, with its five campuses, also is among the most compre- hensive, with half a million living alumni around the world. The Twin Cities campus is one of only four nationally that have agricultural programs as well as an academic health center with a major medical school. The 52,000 students enrolled at the university’s Twin Cities campus choose from more than 150 bachelor’s degrees, 200 master’s degrees and 100 doc- toral degrees. And because the world’s biggest problems don’t have single solutions, the university’s best minds collaborate through 50 joint graduate degree programs and 200 interdisciplinary institutes and centers. We believe all people are enriched by understanding. That is why Minnesota faculty, staff and students are focused on advancing the search for truth; shar- ing new knowledge through education for a diverse community; and applying innovation to illuminate Minnesota, the nation and the world.

more than what you’ll see in these championship events.

This year, more than 54,000 student-athletes will compete in an NCAA national championship and share with their teammates a unique sense of joy and accomplishment. But I’ve seen time and time again how the student-athletes who are succeeding at the highest level of sports competition are also achieving impressive academic success and giving back to their communities. One of them at the final site of this very championship will be honored as the sport’s champion student because he or she holds the highest grade point average among the event’s competitors. The Elite 89 award honors their achievement because it represents everything for which the NCAA stands. Athletics plays an essential role in those accomplishments: student-athletes consistently tell me their love for their sport is what drives them to succeed. Ultimately, it’s the success they experience not only on the field, but in the classroom and in life that makes these championships so meaningful. It’s a chance for us all to stand and cheer on the next generation of leaders and innovators who will ultimately drive progress in our communities. It is why test — in their sport and in their studies. 19,000 teams will share in a meaningful journey the commitment to higher education is a value we A lucky few will hoist a trophy in the air when they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. all share.
