Legislative Briefing
Save the date: January 27, 2010
Save the date for the 2010 Legislative Briefing! This year's briefing will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on January 27th, and will feature University president Bob Bruininks as well as guest speaker Mary Lahammer -- a noted Minnesota journalist and U of M alumna. As always, the event will be held at the McNamara Alumni Center. Stay tuned for registration information and more.
The 2009 Legislative Briefing was an unprecedented success, thanks to the 370 volunteer advocates who attended this year's event on Jan. 28. At least 52 state senators and 72 state representatives received hand-written letters U supporters wrote about the value of the U in their lives and communities.
Thanks to having guests post their U legislative questions prior to the event, we were able to answer every single question online. Over 30 questions were submitted on a wide range of academic, research, strategic and financial topics.
Support the U Day
Save the date:
February 9, 2010
This coming February 9th, student leaders are looking forward to gathering at Coffman Union for a student rally and advocacy training session before heading to St. Paul to talk with legislators about the major issues facing students and the University. Lunch and transportation will be provided for all students who participate -- registration info and more will be posted here as the date approaches.
In 2009, over 300 U students and supporters filled the capitol rotunda on February 25th to meet with their legislators, write letters of support for the U, and hear from an inspiring host of student speakers and guests, including president Bob Bruininks, Regents Chair Patricia Simmons, and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak.
Photos and video from the event are now posted on the Support the U Day Facebook page.
