Emma Mentz, a junior in the College of Liberal Arts (Twin Cities), first became interested in food insecurity when she saw how many of her classmates were getting free or reduced lunch.

When Master of Development Practice (MDP) student Dalila Hussein first heard about the UMN SDG Iniative’s Student Group Activity Grant Fund she immediately knew what she wanted to do. 

In this webinar, leaders of the UMN Sustainable Development Goals Initiative provided an overview of how the University of Minnesota is advancing the goals and making a difference in Minnesota, the U.S., and abroad. Recipients of SDG grants presented on their own projects, which align with the SDGs, the University’s strategic priorities, and needs identified by communities.
