Miscellaneous
If you think college students keep members of "the establishment" on their toes, you should see what effect high school students have. MPIRG (Minnesota Public Interest Research Group) has had a chapter at UMD since 1971, and even all these years later, incoming freshmen arrive with a passion to make a difference. Even fifty years after the first Earth Day, students at UMD are galvanized by environmental justice issues, and they're already pulling details together for the next environmental summit: Our Planet, Our Future: There is No Duluth B. Folks interested in attending the summit or co-sponsoring the event can contact MPIRG via their MPIRG at UMD Facebook page or by sending them an email at umdmpirg@d.umn.edu.
