November 29, 2018

The U of M’s 11th annual Equity and Diversity Breakfast was held on November 15, 2018. 3M was the Presenting Sponsor of the event, which was held on the Twin Cities campus.

The breakfast brings together the U of M community and external stakeholders—alumni, donors, community organizations, and corporate entities—to recognize those who exemplify the University's commitment to equity and diversity.

Event highlights:

The Gallery of Excellence: highlighted U of M faculty scholarship, community-based research projects, and communication initiatives related to issues of equity, diversity, and/or social justice.

Awards: outstanding members of the U of M community were honored for their commitment to equity and diversity, as demonstrated through their academic achievement, leadership, activism, and community service.

For example: one such award recipient was neuroscience student Emmanuel Okematti, whose mentorship in the North Star STEM Alliance—a program that receives 3M support—is part of his commitment to social change and encouraging people of color to enter the medical field. Okematti was honored with the Sue W. Hancock SEEDS of Change Award.

3M is a valued partner in the U of M’s commitment to equity and diversity.
