This sounds like an exciting opportunity. What is the cost to participate?
The University of Minnesota Foundation will host our guests for all events, lodging, and meals. We ask that participants provide their own transportation to Minnesota—if attending from out of state—as well as transportation to the Graduate Hotel.
I’m only able to make it to a portion of the activities. Am I still able to participate?
In order for you to make the most of this awe-inspiring experience, we ask that you please join us for the entirety of Friday’s and Saturday’s activities.
What’s the attire for the weekend of events?
- Comfortable attire with supportive walking shoes are recommended for Friday’s daytime activities (see Agenda).
