Inspiration and Nostalgia on Visiting My Alma Mater — Video Dispatch

by Clay Jenkinson / Monday, July 10 2023 / Published in Dispatches from the Road

A short video I recorded recently on the campus of my alma mater, the University of Minnesota. I was a student there in the early 1970s and after class I often found myself at the base of Northrup Auditorium, incised with what I still regard as the perfect mission statement. If I could turn back the clock I would begin my higher education at the University of Minnesota, but this time I would study languages!
