The Defining Idea

We are all born with a fundamental need to discover. At the University of Minnesota, this curiosity is part of our collective DNA. We provide a thriving community for those with an overwhelming drive to teach and to learn, to research, and to serve. We also celebrate those whose searches have led to discoveries that have changed the world. At the U of M, we continually inspire the next great generation of innovators and empower each other during our search for knowledge. We are driven to discover.

It is this basic premise that has brought us to Driven to Discover. This initiative will become part of the language and business of the University, and will have many components that will play different roles over the next few years.
