2020 April Spring Visit Day

Saturday, April 11, 2020 at 9:00 AM until 4:00 PMCentral Daylight Time UTC -05:00


Humphrey School of Public Affairs
301 19th Ave S
Minneapolis, MN 55455

In response to the ongoing pandemic, COVID-19, the Humphrey School will be cancelling our Spring Visit Day on Saturday, April 11. We are very disappointed that we will not be able to host you.
 
Dean Laura Bloomberg and Admissions Director Sherlonda Clarke view substantial global disruptions like COVID-19 through both a humanitarian lens and also a lens of public policy inquiry about resilience and improvement:
 
What might we be learning so that next time something like this happens we are best prepared?  How do we ensure that all of our infrastructure and social support structures are as responsive and nimble as possible?  How do we learn, adapt and improve in real time? What do we know about the built environment that can best help us address global disruptions?  How do we best work across professional boundaries and sectors to respond most effectively?  In many ways we already address these kinds of pressing questions in our curriculum.  As part of that I imagine we'll be analyzing our current situation (what worked well? what didn't?) for quite some time.
 
Because connecting with our applicants is very much still a top priority, a virtual version of our Spring Visit Day is currently being created for April 11 from 9am to 4:30pm via Zoom. 

Please use the link below to let us know you'll be able to attend. Once we have confirmed all the details, an agenda with Zoom links will be sent out to registrants, along with access instructions. Those of you who have requested Travel Grants will receive further communication regarding cancellations.
 
 
We have offered admission to a remarkable cohort of individuals (including each of you!) and we are eager to welcome you all to campus next fall, when we fully expect we'll be back to business as usual around here.  Until then, I look forward to connecting with you all virtually. 

All our best,
Laura and Sherlonda
