University of Minnesota-Twin Cities

The University of Minnesota strives to promote social, economic, and environmental justice while inspiring tomorrow’s leaders. Our Fair Trade campaign aims to give students, staff, and faculty a way to make sustainable and ethical choices when getting a meal at the residential restaurants or during a mid-day coffee break. We believe that our University has the potential to create real change and is always “Driven to Discover.”
