Campus Kiosk: The Voice of Student Groups at the U
The Campus Kiosk: The Voice of Student Groups at the U opened on the 2nd floor of Coffman Memorial Union in September of 2024, and featured five panels that told of the use and creation of posters, broadsides and fliers by student organization on the University of Minnesota's campus.

Open Heart: Intracardiac Surgery at the University of Minnesota
Open heart, or intracardiac, surgery became a research priority at the University of Minnesota in the late 1940s. Through the availability of state and national funding for medical research, increased awareness of heart disease, and an environment of collaboration and committed inquiry within the Department of Surgery, doctors at the University of Minnesota were able to perform the world’s first open heart surgery in a dry field under direct vision on September 2, 1952.
The Global Reach of Local Activism: Minnesota's Human Rights Stories
The people of Minnesota have played an outsized role in international human rights activism and scholarship since the 1970s. The story is also a complicated one. As Minnesota-based actors have made their international impact, the state remains the site of persistent human rights violations.
Fueled by the resources of the newly established Minnesota Human Rights Archive, "The Global Reach of Local Activism” recounts a compelling slice of local-to-global history, replete with triumphs, setbacks, and ongoing challenges.
Join us as we explore Minnesotans' contributions to the global movements to end gender-based violence, racial discrimination, and torture. A call to action offers hope for a better future while acknowledging the unfinished work of protecting human rights in Minnesota and globally.
