IAMNCC would like to thank the students, staff, faculty, and nonprofit partners who attended one of our listening sessions regarding a service program for college students in the state of Minnesota. We spoke with more than 40 individuals during the week of December 11th and received valuable feedback that will greatly impact the recommendations we make to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. We will submit our final report in the coming weeks and look forward to seeing this program come to fruition!

As many of you know, Iowa & Minnesota Campus Compact is in the midst of some big and exciting changes. On July 1, 2024, Iowa & Minnesota Campus Compact’s affiliate status with Campus Compact will end. While our mission and work will remain the same, we will emerge from the disaffiliation process with a new name, new brand identity, and revitalized vision for our work together.

In the summer of 2022, our team began the journey of exploring a new organizational identity following Campus Compact’s decision to dissolve its affiliate-based model. As we were given a two-year timeframe to alter our relationship with Campus Compact, we decided to spend that time engaging you–the members of our network– in helping reimagine the future of this organization.
