New Website Launched Late August 2009

The University of Minnesota, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, and Minnesota Department of Education have joined forces and created a new website for Minnesota students, parents, and educators. State and higher education officials view it as the "crossroads of online education services in Minnesota." A one-stop site for sometimes hard-to-find education resources, it is the most comprehensive site of its kind found in the country. Check it out at www.mnlearningcommons.org
