Hello,

I have been in awe of the heroism and compassion our front line healthcare workers have demonstrated during this global pandemic. In Minnesota, an overwhelming number of these heroes and selfless dedicated professionals are part of the Minnesota State family, either as graduates or current students. The fact that each and every day they go to work putting their own health and safety at risk is both humbling and a point of pride for us.  Seven out of 10 Minnesota nursing graduates earned their degree from a Minnesota State college or university . We are proud to be the educator of choice for so many of the professionals serving in our hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities and we salute the essential work they do. Below are just two stories of these Minnesota heroes.
