Community Matters: Higher Education Event
Guest: Larry Pogemiller, Commissioner, MN Office of Higher Education
A skilled workforce is essential to the Rochester area's continued growth. Join us to hear from Higher Education Commissioner Larry Pogemiller and area business leaders about the need for more collaboration between industry, the Office of Higher Education, higher education systems and K-12 systems.
Topics of discussion include rising tuition costs, opportunities to project future talent needs of industry, and the role of internships and experiential learning in today's education.
Informative Booths! Pencil in some time to stop by a little early or stay after to visit exhibitor booths from local higher education partners before and after the event.
