|  | | Academic Mission - Research, Education and Public Engagement | The University of Minnesota's distinctive vision to create a community at UMore Park integrates research, education and public engagement into the planning and development of the community and region over time. Outcomes of this effort support the University's goal of becoming among the top public research institutions in the world.
In May 2007, six task forces considered how the University's academic mission could add value to the future community at UMore Park through the interrelated topics of education, energy, the environment, health, transportation, and interdisciplinary opportunities. A publication titled Distinctiveness through Academic Mission: The Vision for a University-Founded Community at the University of Minnesota Outreach, Research and Education Park includes reports from each of the task forces and comments from the related public and campus forums.
Formed in the fall of 2008, the Academic Mission Advisory Board supports the integration of the academic mission into planning and development efforts.
In November 2009, the Academic Mission Advisory Board produced a report addressing three critical areas for academic mission integration into planning and development at UMore Park--faculty incentives and rewards, student opportunities and guiding principles for the board.
