These services are in addition to our comprehensive range of classes, certificates, degrees and award-winning faculty.”
Transforming Lives Through Education
“The students at Minneapolis College are incredibly smart, courageous and talented, and my job as an instructor is to move obstacles out of the way so their capabilities can be revealed,” said Ruthanne Crapo Kim, philosophy instructor and Minnesota State Educator of the Year.
“I teach as an act of political and social justice in order to transform individual lives and democratically engage our students and their cultures. I believe good instruction ought to be accessible and help us mediate our world in ways that make sense, and yet, challenge the horizon of our ideals and imaginations.”
