As facilitator of this discussion, we are excited to have Larry Goodwin, President of The College of St. Scholastica and Chair of the Minnesota Campus Compact Board of Directors. We are also thrilled with our five panelists—it’s shaping up to be a dynamic discussion! Mesabi Range College employee Beth Peterson; Liz Kuoppala works as Associate Director of the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless; Chris Ismil is the Program Director for Iron Range Youth in Action; Steve Potts, an instructor at Hibbing Community College; and Dr. Sue Collins will be rounding out the discussion from her unique perspective as NHED’s President.

We will also be joined by the Interim Executive Director of Minnesota Campus Compact, Jim Scheibel. Mr. Scheibel was Mayor of St. Paul from 1990 to 1994.
