A UNIQUE CAMPUS HISTORY 1880s 1887

The campus sits on the original homelands of the Dakota (Sioux) and Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) people, the indigenous people of this region. The city of Morris was established in 1871 as European immigrants moved to the area. Act 1: The campus was established by the Sisters of Mercy, an order of Roman Catholic nuns, as an American Indian boarding school funded through a contract with the federal government. The school reopened as the Morris Industrial School for Indians (managed by the federal government) in 1897 and served children from Anishinaabe and Dakota communities in Minnesota and the Dakotas. “In an attempt to assimilate Native Americans, Indian boarding schools often forcibly separated indigenous children from their families, forbade them from speaking their native languages, and made them learn English as well as European ways.” (Native American Student Achievement in Minnesota, 2013)

1909

1910

mid-1950s

1960 1964

2010 2018

As the US government closed off-reservation boarding schools, the campus was transferred to the State of Minnesota with federal law and state statute mandating that an educational institution be maintained on the site and American Indian students “shall at all times be admitted to such school free of charge for tuition and on terms of equality with white pupils.” Act 2: The University of Minnesota opened the West Central School of Agriculture (WCSA) and Experiment Station on the site. The boarding high school provided core academic instruction and education on contemporary agricultural and homemaking methods for the region’s farm youth beginning after the fall harvest and concluding by spring planting.

More of the region’s small towns had established high schools, and the University began discussing the limited future of the agricultural boarding high-school model. Area groups organized a campaign to establish a college campus in Morris. Act 3: The University of Minnesota, Morris opened its doors as a public liberal arts college with 238 new students. The first class of the University of Minnesota, Morris graduates.

Morris celebrates 50 years as the University of Minnesota’s public liberal arts campus. 1,700 undergrads call Morris home. We are glad you are here. A special welcome to all new students and UMM’s class of 2022. 2018 Campus Connection Guide | PAGE 15

COLLEGE TO CAREER

AT MORRIS YOU’LL FIND WHAT YOU NEED TO GET AHEAD— FOR A GREAT CAREER, GRAD SCHOOL, AND LIFE We know you’re thinking about your future—the next four years and beyond. With educational and experiential opportunities across campus, we’ve got you covered no matter what you have planned beyond graduation. We’ve Got You Covered when It Comes to Career Readiness Creative problem-solving, effective communication, working with others, researching and processing information—employers look for all of these skills in their hiring decisions. That’s good news for Morris grads. You’ll gain these skills from your liberal arts education here. Lifelong Learning Begins Right Here Many Morris alumni continue their educations after they’ve earned their bachelors degrees. With 52 percent of Morris students participating in undergraduate research and creative production, our graduates are perfectly prepared for academic success at the graduate level.

Career Pathways A Career Program Just for First-Year Students Most first-year students have questions about the path from college to a great career. Career Pathways helps you prepare for a career—from the beginning. You will learn more about yourself— your skills and interests—and your personal career possibilities. You’ll learn with other new students, take steps to “figure out what to do with the rest of your life,” hear what future employers are looking for in their new hires, and develop an action plan from college to career. Sessions include: • Personalized career assessments to suggest possible majors and career directions • Reliable online assessments to help you learn your unique strengths • How to talk to employers about the unique skills you will gain at Morris You DO NOT need a declared academic major or a chosen career to participate.

STUDENT COUNSELING someone who will listen and help A wise college counselor once used this metaphor to describe college counseling: “You come to college to take courses about different subjects. Counseling is kind of like a course you take on yourself, where you are the teacher and the student.” The counselor facilitates self discovery in a safe, supportive environment. The Student Counseling staff is here for you if you are experiencing any number of personal or academic concerns as well as mental health challenges. Staff are experienced and professional, and services are confidential. If you have questions or PAGE 56 | Campus Connection Guide 2018

GREEN DOT BYSTANDER INTERVENTION Each small moment in time when violence occurs— the moment it takes to send a threatening text, to stalk someone on social media, to hit someone—hurts us all. These acts of violence are like red dots covering a map, much like an epidemic spreading out of control, if not stopped. But we CAN stop violence, and YOU can be part of the solution. Through your words, choices, and actions, in any moment, you can add a green dot to the map to displace a red one. What will be your green dot? • Be proactive; start talking about Green Dot today! • Ask a friend if he or she needs help. • Divert attention to avoid violence from escalating. • Call the police. IT IS UP TO US HOW WE SHAPE OUR CAMPUS. ADD A GREEN DOT TO OUR CAMPUS MAP AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

EDWARD J. AND HELEN JANE MORRISON PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Opening September 2018 Enjoy this year’s Performing Arts Series in the new Edward J. and Helen Jane Morrison Performing Arts Center! As you’ll soon see, the Student Center is our campus’s community center. At its heart is Edson Auditorium, a 500-seat theatre that hosts outstanding performers and speakers each year. Thanks, in part, to the generosity of one of Morris’s founding families, the Edson Auditorium we all know and love is getting a makeover as part of the new Edward J. and Helen Jane Morrison Performing Arts Center. It opens this fall, which means you’ll be the first to experience it—enjoy! 2018 Campus Connection Guide | PAGE 69

VOTER REGISTRATION Election Day: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 Who can vote? To vote in Minnesota, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old on Election Day, and a resident of Minnesota for at least 20 days. Paying out-ofstate tuition or having a driver’s license from another state does not necessarily mean you can’t vote in Minnesota. Your Identification Number When you register you will be asked to provide your MN driver’s license number or state ID card number. If you have a MN driver’s license or state I.D. card, you MUST use this number. Failure to do so constitutes voter fraud. If you do not have a MN driver’s license/ID card, you may use the social security option.
