Founded in 1994, Minnesota Campus Compact’s mission is to support our Campus Compact Minnesotamember colleges and universities as they fulfill the public purpose that is at the heart of higher education. MNCC partners with institutions to assist in prioritizing what matters most and to adapt to changing times in ways that allow us to continue to have a positive impact in our communities and on the world.

Goals for Our Programs:

  • Target support to under-resourced campuses and communities

Values

A key step for any organization in changing its culture and practice is to examine the values underlying it and intentionally set forth and hold ourselves accountable to values that promote the vision of the world we want to create.
