Welcome from the Chancellor A warm welcome to all of you as this new school year begins...and a special greeting to those of you who are new students, faculty, and staff members. We welcome to our campus this fall a group of new students who bring outstanding academic credentials and who are already recognized as student leaders in their local high schools and communities. We look forward to that leadership continuing here. Our living and learning community also includes faculty and staff members who are dedicated to providing a rich, challenging, and rewarding experience for all Morris students. You will have many opportunities in the coming year to meet new people, explore the surrounding area, and sample from the wide array of in- and out-ofclass experiences that characterize this nationally recognized community of scholars. At Morris, we value academic achievement and engagement, cherish and expect respect for others, and place student achievement at the center of all we do. Here, you will experience a liberal arts education that encourages broad and deep study that provides opportunities to ask and answer the “big questions�
of our time. It is an education in which you will develop and practice speaking and writing skills, analytical and quantitative reasoning, and in which opportunities abound for problem solving and critical thinking. Your experience here will call on you to be engaged—in the classroom and outside it, in traditional academic study, through internships, service learning, and artistic performance. And, the Morris campus continues its leadership as an institution of higher education committed to sustainability and sound environmental practices. Powered by wind and the sun, we make full use of area natural resources, serving as a model for others to emulate. Like you, I look forward to this new school year and to meeting each and every one of you! Chancellor Jacqueline R. Johnson
Welcome from the Mayor of Morris I wish you a warm welcome from the City of Morris! The most wonderful time of year for all members of the UMM community and the Morris community is in August when the area seems to come alive as the college starts again for another year. I challenge you to make Morris your home away from home. Get to know what Morris has to offer downtown and throughout the area for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Enjoy your time here, whether it is for a semester or for a lifetime. Sincerely, Mayor Sheldon Giese

The Six College Experiences Linked to Lifelong Success Seek out these experiences and build these relationships in college. Students who do are much more likely to graduate in four years. And they report greater success after college.
BIG
6
THE “BIG SIX” ARE ALL EMBEDDED IN THE FABRIC OF MORRIS LIFE. 1. Connect with a professor who makes you excited to learn. 2. Connect with a professor who cares about you as an individual. 3. Connect with a mentor who pushes you to reach your goals. 4. Work on a long-term project. 5. Complete a job or internship related to your classroom lessons. 6. Become engaged in extracurricular activities and groups.
Look for these opportunities at Morris! Nationally, 82 percent of grads who strongly agreed their school prepared them well for life experienced all six. And 75 percent of grads who experienced all six finished college on time in four years. Reprinted from the Educational Advisory Board, April 9, 2015 eab.com/daily-briefing/2015/04/09/gallup-life-success-linked-to-6-college-experiences?elq_cid=1370103

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
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.
2010
Morris celebrates 50 years as the University of Minnesota’s public liberal arts campus.
2016
1,900 undergrads call Morris home. We are glad you are here. A special welcome to all new students and UMM’s class of 2020.

Voter Registration One purpose of the liberal arts education you receive at Morris is to help you grow as an engaged citizen. Morris students traditionally vote at much higher rates than their counterparts around the nation.
2012 Student Voting Rates
As a student at Morris you may choose to vote as a resident of Morris, or you may vote absentee in your hometown. If you have voted in Morris before but have moved since that election, you will need to register again, and you may have a new polling place. Find your polling place at pollfinder.sos.state.mn
To vote in Minnesota you must register.
71.5% 46.9%
Morris
In the 2012 presidential election 71.5% of Morris students voted, compared to only 46.9% of students at comparable colleges nationwide.
other colleges
What major elections take place in Minnesota on November 8, 2016? • President of the United States • United States House of Representatives • Minnesota State Senate • Minnesota House of Representatives
VOTING AS A MORRIS RESIDENT Whether you live on campus or off, you may choose to vote as a Morris resident. Registering ahead of the Election We highly recommend that you register ahead of time. This both saves time on election day and ensures that you will not run into complications as you follow the registration process. You must register by October 18 to guarantee that your registration goes through in time. VOTING ABSENTEE You may choose to vote absentee in your hometown. If your hometown is in Minnesota, visit mnvotes.org to find out what procedures you should follow.
Registration forms are available at the Office of Student Activities and may be dropped off in the box at Higbies.
If you live in another state, check with your home state to find out how to register and vote absentee. Visit vote.usa.gov to get started.
Here are some important things you need to know as you fill out your Minnesota registration form: What address should I use? • If you live on campus, you must use your campus mailing address on the form. You will vote in Oyate Hall on election day. • If you live off campus, you must use your residential street address on the form. Do NOT use your campus mailing address. You will vote at a location in the community corresponding to your local address. Visit pollfinder.sos.state.mn and enter your address to find your polling place.
Minnesota voters can register online ahead of time. Visit mnvotes.org.
How do I fill out box 7? (it can be confusing) • If you have a Minnesota drivers license/ID card, you MUST select this option in box seven of the registration form. Failure to do so constitutes voter fraud. Do NOT use the social security number option if you have a Minnesota drivers license/ID card. • If you are from another state or do not have a Minnesota drivers license or ID card, then you should select the social security number option in box seven.

Election Day = Tuesday, November 8
(too long; didn’t read)
First, this is really important information. Go back and read it. Now: • Students may vote as Morris residents. OR • Students may vote absentee in their hometowns.
Your polling place is determined by your address. Live on campus? Vote on campus in Oyate Hall. Live off campus? Vote in your neighborhood. Find your polling place at pollfinder.sos.state.mn

Students may not vote in both. Choose one!

It’s best to register before October 18.

It’s early! :)
Register on Election Day
Register in Advance Pick up a registration form at Student Activities Fill out the form and place in box at Higbies Show up at your polling place and vote November 8!
Minnesota voters can register online ahead of time. mnvotes.org.
Visit mnvotes.org to see options and rules
My hometown is in MN no Check with your state to find rules on absentee voting vote.usa.gov
Bring these to your polling place: proof of name and current address. Fill out the form and follow instructions
VOTER REGISTRATION FORM (TRICKIER THAN IT SOUNDS) You’re voting in Morris. Use your Morris address. Live on campus? Use your campus mailing address. Live off campus? Use your current street address, NOT your campus address. Box 7. The tricky one. If you have a MN drivers license/ID card, you MUST use this option. Failure to do so constitutes voter fraud. If you do not have a MN drivers license/ID card, use the social security option.
What counts for proof of name and address on Election Day? • MN drivers license/ID with current MORRIS ADDRESS OR • MN drivers license/ID AND a bill, dated within 30 days, with your name and Morris address on it The above are the most common types of proof. A full list of accepted types is at mnvotes.org. Have you moved since you last voted? You will need to register at your new address and may have a new polling place.
Still have questions? Stop by Student Activities. Staff have been trained in voter registration.

Office of Academic Success The Office of Academic Success (OAS) provides a range of academic programing, advising, and tutoring as well as disability resources, support, and accommodations. All services are provided to enrolled students at no additional fee. Academic Advising assigns new students to academic advisers who assist students in creating an academic plan which may include: • exploring major options and/or learning about requirements for those majors • answering questions about degree completion • discussing internships, study abroad, and research opportunities To change your major(s), minor(s) and/or adviser call 320-589-6010 or visit Academic Advising. Academic Assistance offers: • Drop-in study rooms that provide collaborative spaces to work with peers on daily work and test preparation. • Appointment-based tutors who are available to work with students in one-on-one and small-group sessions. Walk-in visits are welcome during listed hours, but scheduled appointments are recommended. Visit morris.umn.edu/academicsuccess to learn more, view the current tutoring schedule, and to request an appointment.
Disability Resource Center collaborates with students with disabilities and instructors to provide reasonable accommodations and support services. One of the critical differences between high school and college is that, in college, students need to be involved in service decision and request accommodations. Disability Resource Center will assess the needs of students and provide the appropriate accommodations to each individual. These accommodations might include but are not limited to: • alternative testing • sign language/oral interpreters • assistive technology • priority registration • alternative media • note-takers
• Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) study groups that are structured, peer-led study sessions available for select courses. • Academic Success Coaches who meet one-onone with students to work on improving academic performance. Coaches are available for one-time sessions or ongoing visits in which they assist with creating individual plans for success and connecting students to programs and campus resources.

3. If your computer gets a pop-up window saying that you are infected with a virus, do not click on the scan button. Close the pop-up box, and open the antivirus software installed on your machine. Run the scan from there. The first popup box is more than likely malware trying to install on your computer.
Your UMM Google account includes: • Gmail • Google Calendar • Google Drive • Google Groups Students are encouraged to use Google Calendar and Drive for their scheduling and storage needs. Contact the Helpdesk to set them up on your mobile device. Technology Purchases Students are eligible for free Microsoft Office and discounted tech purchases.

4. Ads on the web are very tempting to click, but don’t do it. Spyware is usually bundled in ads, and clicking on an ad may infect your computer. 5. Download software only from trusted sites. 6. Using peer-to-peer file sharing programs, such as BitTorrent or uTorrent, is against University policy. Sharing copyrighted material is against the law.

The Student Center the campus living room The Student Center is the living room of the campus—the place where the entire campus community gathers and where you can always find a buzz of activity. From tables with student groups advertising their events, to hallways lined with students, faculty, and staff waiting to vote, or give blood, or hear a speaker. It serves as a place to meet classmates, study for a test, get cash at the ATM, grab a coffee, or just hang out. It is home to: Turtle Mountain Cafe (TMC)

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.
Test Center Student Counseling also houses the campus Test Center. You can take: • Language and math placement exams
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 aren’t sure how we can be of assistance, please call us at 320-589-6060, and we are here to help guide you through the process.
• CLEP and DSST exams for college credit • Professional and graduate school admissions tests • LSAT • GRE Subject • MAT • PCAT • Minnesota Teacher Licensure Examinations (formerly Praxis)
