The University of Minnesota is a place of endless exploration where every student is on a unique journey to discover what matters most to them. My U, My View, a Coffman Art Gallery exhibit in partnership Orientation & Transition Experiences, celebrates "Purpose" as an active, ongoing search rather than a finished achievement. It is about seeing the University through a student's eyes and capturing the small, everyday discoveries that shape a future. Whether it is a quiet moment of focus in the library, a breakthrough in the lab, or a new connection made while learning abroad, this theme highlights the authentic moments that move students forward.
