Do You Know All the SDGs?

A Systemwide Approach

The University of Minnesota System is one of the most comprehensive in the nation, with offerings to meet the interests of every student and the changing needs of our society. As part of our land-grant mission, we are driven to provide a world-class education, groundbreaking research, and community outreach that serves Minnesota.

The SDGs fit seamlessly into the strategic goals and priorities of the system with every campus, research group, and outreach center providing their own support to the prouder University systemwide strategic goals, which in turn, focus on educating and inspiring future generations, developing research breakthroughs for the betterment of society, and supporting individuals and communities as they grow and change in our fast moving world.

In fact, "advancing the SDGs" is specifically called out in MPact 2025 further highlighting the University's longterm commitment to bringing together partners across the University and beyond to respond to partner and societal needs related to the SDGs.
