A University in a National Park on a World-Class River:
The University of Minnesota is a world-class comprehensive teaching and research university located in a National Park—the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area—overlooking one of the great rivers of the world.
Both the river and its urban setting in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, provide faculty, staff, students, and alumni with myriad research, service, classes, recreational, and employment opportunities. River Life takes strategic advantage of our location by gathering and disseminating information concerning river sustainability and inclusive planning through digital media platforms and face-to-face programming.
