University of Minnesota faculty, students and staff were invited to join colleagues at two campus forums on November 8 and 9, 2007 to discuss the University vision for a vibrant, culturally rich, sustainable community of 20,000 to 30,000 people that leverages the University’s academic mission strengths.  They considered ways that research, teaching and learning, and public engagement – especially as they relate to education, energy, the environment, transportation, health and interdisciplinary opportunities, such as arts and culture, housing and other issues – can improve quality of life for citizens, the new community and the broader region.
