On this Give to the Max Day, we hope you will consider a gift to the University of Minnesota Morris to support the Morris Academic Experiences (MAX) Fund. Your support will strengthen the impact and power of a UMN Morris education. A central part of our impact, and something that helps distinguish Morris from other colleges, is our dedication to ensuring that transformative student engagement is accessible to all of our students. Your gift to the Morris Academic eXperience- or MAX - Fund provides the resources needed for research materials and studying abroad, community engaged learning and internships; all with the goal of providing students with valuable hands-on learning experiences.
