More of this, please. Be more like @MnOfficeHiEd, other states. Unless you're already like Minnesota. In which case, keep doing what you're doing. There that should make it crystal clear. "State offers help to students struggling with FAFSA forms"

Exciting day at #SHEEO2023 - Talking about enrollment with @OSRHEChancellor Garrett & then discussing P20 councils w/ @MnOfficeHiEd Commissioner Olson. Presenting with these talented folks - and bragging about KY on a national stage - is one of the things I love about my job.
Full house and lots of interest in the Direct Admissions session at #SHEEO2023. @MnOfficeHiEd lead @HigherEdWendy shared MN’s story along with colleagues from Idaho.
Powerful opening keynote at #SHEEO2023 by @chrisnellum. @MnOfficeHiEd got a special shout out for our innovative Direct Admissions work! Proud to be here with our team!
It was an honor to join colleagues from across the country today and share the @MnOfficeHiEd Direct Admissions MN journey.

Thank you Red Lake Nation College (@RLNCMiigzi) for hosting Commish @dolsonjr today. This amazing MN Tribal College is building a satellite site in Minneapolis across from US Bank stadium, and will be the first tribal college in the nation with an urban location.

Commish @dolsonjr continued his statewide tour at White Earth Tribal & Community College today in Mahnomen. Last yr, their school’s garden produced 5k lbs of healthy food for the community. A new building is planned to serve community & provide space for trades programs training

On Friday, @dolsonjr met w/@gustavus & @MNSUMankato leadership & students on his statewide tour. Whether you're pursuing a credential or 4-yr degree, college is for everyone. Both MN private & public colleges use state grants to support students & break down financial barriers.

Yesterday @dolsonjr visited @UMNDuluth on Indigenous Peoples Day. UMD’s Tribal Admin & Governance program not only provides an excellent education to enrolled students, it’s having a statewide impact, offering tribal relations training to orgs & state employees throughout MN.
After three full days of meeting with business and industry in NE Minnesota on the #BuildWhatMatters tour, we couldn’t get enough!
DLI Temporary Commissioner Nicole Blissenbach and @MnOfficeHiEd Commissioner Dennis Olson were at Hastings-based @Intek_Plastics today to celebrate #ManufacturingMonth and learn how a dual-training grant helped the company provide employment-based training to two employees.
