Today, we celebrate Alumni Day and the generations of alumni whose loyalty, pride and connection to the University of Minnesota help carry our legacy of excellence forward. For 175 years, our alumni have been leaders, innovators, educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, community builders and so much more. They strengthen Minnesota and communities around the world through the knowledge, relationships and experiences they gained at the University. This year, our Alumni Day takes on special meaning as Governor Walz has recognized the University’s 175th Anniversary with a proclamation honoring this important milestone. #UMNproud
