On July 1, 2019, Joan T.A. Gabel became the University of Minnesota’s 17th president and the first woman in history to hold the title. A number of campus representatives attended her inauguration celebration and came back with stories of how much they enjoyed being at the festivities. President Gabel spent time on campus in October as part of her inauguration tour. While she was here, she met with students, faculty, staff, and the community where she addressed questions and spent time getting to know the Crookston campus. It was an honor to host her.
