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

1950s

1960 1964

2010 2019

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.

1,600 undergrads call UMN Morris home. We are glad you are here.

A special welcome to all new students and UMN Morris’s class of 2023.

A NEW STUDENT’S GUIDE TO ACADEMIC LIFE AT MORRIS WANT TO SUCCEED IN COLLEGE? Get organized Look at all of your course syllabi and add paper deadlines, tests, and assignments to your Google calendar the first week of classes. Make a plan so you don’t end up trying to do everything the night before it is due.

Be present Attendance and active participation are strongly and positively correlated with success.

“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.”—Abigail Adams Multitasking is a myth: turning off devices while studying dramatically helps students focus and learn.

Ask questions!

“The only stupid question is the question that is never asked.”

—Ramon Bautista Sleep Think it’ll all go well if you just pull a bunch of all-nighters? Think again!

Good sleep habits are essential to learning.

Use available resources Take advantage of resources: professors, drop-in tutoring, peer assisted learning (PAL) sessions, the Writing Center, your adviser and success coach, your peers who’ve taken the same classes.

Get involved Attend senior seminars to see examples of the impressive work you’ll be doing in just a few short years.

Join a club related to your major. Join another club from an entirely different major! Explore your interests, and expand your perspective.

Take a break Walk to the West Central Research and Outreach Center’s Pomme de Terre River overlook and beautiful gardens.

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.

WELLNESS AT UMN MORRIS

Morris Let’s Thrive is a holistic model infusing evidence-based mental health and wellbeing practices, skill building, information, and resources into UMN Morris students’ curricular and co-curricular lives. Just as the seasons cycle on the prairie where plants and grasses evolve and find new life, so does our path to wellbeing. The old settles into the earth

and finds its way back to new growth. In the same way, wellbeing evolves: sometimes we are thriving, and other times we await new growth; some aspects of our life may be alive with growth while others are more challenging. Finding pathways to wellbeing can be a complex, but rewarding, process.

Morris Let’s Thrive provides opportunity to cultivate a balanced and fulfilling life through attention to dimensions of wellbeing that bring personal growth, meaning, and purpose to daily life.

The 7 dimensions of wellbeing are: • Academic Growth • Community • Cultural Connections • Emotional Wellbeing • Financial Security • Healthy Lifestyle • Living Sustainably

10 ACTION STEPS TO EMBED WELLBEING IN YOUR LIFE AT COLLEGE Find links to many helpful resources at students.morris.umn.edu/MorrisLetsThrive 1. Include a wellbeing practice in your day. Choose something you enjoy—it’ll help you better manage life’s stresses.

• Spend meaningful time with friends.

• Enjoy a hobby.

• Focus on your breathing and try meditation.

2. Got 5 minutes? Spend it outside! Being in nature gives your wellbeing a boost.

3. Move your body. Exercise benefits all aspects of your health and wellbeing! Even a 15-minute walk makes a difference. Check out the Regional Fitness Center’s yoga and other great mind/body options.

4. Build a gratitude positive psychology practice into your daily routine. It can take as little as 2 minutes a day. Check out the Grateful App to learn how!

5. Build new skills and understanding to address depression, stress, social anxiety, and healthy sleep. Complete an assessment, explore learning modules, or work with a coach via the confidential UMN Learn to Live online program. (code: UMN)

6. Take a little time to eat well. Try focusing on eating fruits and veggies every day, and invite a floor-or class-mate to join you. Connect with Morris Healthy Eating, the Native Student Garden, and the Organic Garden. Reach out for food resources— many options are available on campus and in the community.

7. Access free, confidential campus health and wellbeing resources like Student Counseling, Health Service, and the Disability Resource Center.

8. Worried? Procrastinating? Take one small positive first step. It could be as simple as reaching out to someone who can share the journey.

9. Talk to someone! Talk to your friends, faculty, your adviser, a success coach, or another staff member.

Swing by and chat with a Let’s Talk counselor.

10. Get enough sleep! It’s a good use of time: 8–10 hours of sleep each night make academics as well as life better. Browse the Mayo Clinic website for sleep tips.

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.

What will be your green dot?

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.

IT IS UP TO US HOW WE SHAPE OUR CAMPUS. ADD A GREEN DOT TO OUR CAMPUS MAP AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
