🌟 Reflecting on History: Continuing the Legacy of GRAUC 🌟 As we journey through the annals of GRAUC's impactful history, we unveil yet another chapter of commitment and collaboration, spanning the years 2003-2006. ✨ 2003-2004: Embracing Accountability & Vision Alignment During this period, GRAUC fortified its commitment to accountability, aligning our vision with the esteemed University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) in areas of mutual benefit. We expanded stakeholder discussions, fostering dialogue to explore future growth opportunities. Our efforts aimed to accelerate the expansion of UMR, championing initiatives vital for community and state economic vitality, while advocating for UCR campus co-development. ✨ 2004-2005: Exploring Growth Opportunities & Advocacy Triumphs Delving deeper into growth prospects, GRAUC meticulously examined UMR's expansion opportunities, appointing a specialized task force to scrutinize recommendations. Strengthening our coalition of support, we successfully advocated for crucial funding, securing $3.2 million for the Governor's Rochester Higher Education Development initiative and $12.97 million for UCR Health Sciences renovation. Additionally, we delved into the business plan for a proposed domed stadium, envisioning future possibilities. ✨ 2005-2006: Paving the Way for Transformational Change A testament to our unwavering dedication, GRAUC provided pivotal leadership in the successful passage of the sales tax referendum, allocating an additional $8 million for higher education capital projects. Governor Pawlenty's appointment of the Rochester Higher Education Development Committee (RHEDC) underscored the significance of our collective efforts. With the RHEDC's report on 'Advancing Minnesota', GRAUC's Chair appointed a special Higher Ed Task Force (HEFT), entrusted with spearheading the implementation of RHEDC recommendations. Moreover, our "World of Thanks" event in March celebrated 20 years of GRAUC's exemplary leadership, acknowledging the collective impact achieved through unwavering dedication and collaborative spirit. As we stride forward, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing higher education, fostering innovation, and shaping a brighter future for generations to come. Together, we continue to script history, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of education and community development. #GRAUC #HigherEducation #CommunityDevelopment #Collaboration #Leadership #Innovation #History #Advancement

WGSN has released a webinar in which it gives us its first thoughts on what the world might look like in 2070: https://lnkd.in/gKWHyB8A
