This year’s CUMU Conference—Beyond Boundaries—includes 120+ presentations, receptions, and opportunities to network with higher education leaders and partners working to make their campuses and communities better.
Presented by Eric J. Jolly, President and CEO, Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation
While weaving a traditional Cherokee-style doubled walled basket, Dr. Jolly will share stories of his heritage, of culture and of scientific learning as he reveals the mathematics and science embodied within this traditional art form.
Presented by Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General
Focused on the Derek Chauvin trial following the murder of George Floyd, Ellison will provide a raw and unfiltered account of the legal battle for justice. He offers a stark examination of the complexities and challenges faced by prosecutors in confronting police violence and systemic injustice.
