Thank you to all the students at Globe Minneapolis for making our Letters to the Troops writing campaign a huge success. We have nearly a hundred letters that we will be mailing off this week!  This letters are a huge source of inspiration and comfort to our troops deployed overseas, and help them to feel a little closer to home even when they are far away. Thank you students, staff, and faculty for taking the time to write these letters!

Congratulations to the staff, faculty, and students of Globe University-Minneapolis on a successful ACICS visit! I’m sure that many of you had the opportunity to meet with members of the ACICS team during their 3 day visit to the campus, and I am proud to report that they left the campus im-pressed by our facility, students, faculty and staff. The team thanked us for our hospitality and appreciated everyone’s willingness to speak with them and share your experiences. The ACICS team mentioned during their visit that they were impressed with our culturally diverse student population and that they enjoyed learning about many of your impressive educational and professional backgrounds.

Thank you again for welcoming the ACICS team on-campus and into your classrooms. As we continue to move forward please don’t hesitate to con-tact any of the staff members on-campus with any questions about the visit or feedback that we can use to continue to create a positive learning envi-ronment.

Last Friday Globe hosted another wonderful meeting of the Masters’ Minds! Participants discussed important school issues including upcoming social and community events, the role of graduate level student ambassadors, and even the possible formation of some exciting new student clubs! All this was followed by some great ice-skating at the Depot right here in Minneapolis.

Globe University will be hosting another “Meeting of the Masters’ Minds” this Friday January 15th at the Minneapolis Campus. This is a wonderful opportunity for our Masters students to come together  to network and discuss school events, student life, and their programs of study.  Following this meeting we will all be heading over to the Depot in Minneapolis for some indoor ice skating, so make sure you bundle up!

Group picture - International Students' Fall Registration/Orientation Event

August 20th saw the first international students’ orientation that was held on a grand scale with the marketing team being down at the Minneapolis campus to click group pictures, collect testimonials, and have student surveys completed. This was following byregistration and lots of individual photo shoots with student interactions over lunch with staff and faculty. It was a collective effort and went great as planned. Check out the group picture to see who were present!

The IDS campus of Globe University opening its doors to the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, the City of Lakes Chamber of Commerce, and the Northeast Chamber for a special event on campus. The Chambers hosted a ‘Small Business University’ series of lectures on topics relevant to today’s business owners and operators. We hosted over 40 participants for the Small Business University presentation on ‘Dy-Mystifying Social Media’. A expert panel helped all business owners and managers understand how best to leverage Blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to support our business, without it becoming a full time job.

Globe University continues to reach out to the community, and of course potential employers of our outstanding graduates. Career Services participated in the Hennepin County 2009 South Metro Area Job Fair held at the Mall of America. They shared the career centric programs we offer to all seekers, as well as shared current openings with our growing family of schools. This was great exposure for our campus, and our schools in general.  The event was sponsored by Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis who have partnered with eighteen metro employment and training specialist agencies.
