As a final-year trainee in vascular surgery, I was working at the West London Renal and Transplant Centre for Professor Nadey Hakim and Vassilios Papalois. I am very grateful to both of them for encouraging me to apply for a visiting fellowship to the United States, enabling me to experience some of the benefits of surgical training abroad and to broaden my perspectives in transplantation. I was awarded a visiting fellowship to the University of Minnesota Transplant Center by Professor David Sutherland, head of the division of transplant surgery.

Academic libraries around the United States have been responding to an emerging style of research, the digital humanities, that promises to expand and revolutionize the humanities. Libraries are finding themselves to be generative sites of innovative partnerships and projects. Seeing a new opportunity to showcase cutting edge research and demonstrate value in an era of competitive demands for financial resources, there is significant incentive for libraries to quickly anticipate scholarly needs. Yet how do academic libraries best support a field of practice that is still developing? To address these issues, the University of Minnesota Libraries conducted a multi-year assessment of scholarly trends and practices, infrastructure needs, and roles of digital humanities centers and academic libraries, the University of Minnesota Libraries have designed and are in the process of implementing a service model as part of its Digital Arts Sciences + Humanities (DASH) program.

The task of moral formation has long been an important purpose of higher education in the United States. However, pluralism and lack of moral consensus within secular universities present significant challenges to accomplishing this task. One possible solution is Christian study centers, which offer thick moral cultures that can form students at secular universities within the Christian tradition. Anselm House’s Fellows Program at the University of Minnesota illustrates such a context and suggests avenues for future research.

In The spring of 1959, Dr. John Anderson, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota, asked me to go to Korea as adviser in pediatrics to Seoul National University. The University of Minnesota has a contract with the United States Operations Mission (USOM) to help rehabilitate Seoul National University in the schools of Agriculture, Public Administration, Engineering and Medicine. This contract has been in effect since 1954, has involved the spending of several millions of dollars, the sending of medical advisers from Minnesota to Seoul and of medical participants, as they are called, from Seoul National University (SNU) to the University of Minnesota.

Abstract The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has induced a massive shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) across the United States. To alleviate the crisis, efforts to develop rapidly-producible PPE should be explored. Herein, we present the rapid design and production process of level 1 hospital gowns to address this dire shortage at a large academic healthcare organization taken by a team of student engineers at the University of Minnesota. We detail the collaborative process of gown design, considering its constraints (time, cost, material, rapid producibility, volume, and delivery), in addition to how material manufacturers and converters were identified to alleviate this crisis.

As Kenya’s inbound tourism takes center stage as the country’s biggest income earner, study-abroad programs have emerged as the fastest growing subsector of the industry, making the country one of Africa’s most popular study-abroad destinations. In 1999 alone, a total of 22 credit-awarding academic study-abroad programs were operating in Kenya, an increase from 15 programs in 1998. Out of these 22 programs, 15 were from the United States, four were from Europe, and one was from Japan. In contrast, there were more than 80 noncredit study-abroad programs in 1999, most of which were short two-week study tours or field observation excursions. Of the noncredit study-abroad programs, 62 were from different African countries while 14 were from Europe and 12 were from the United States. This article describes the credit-awarding study-abroad programs and focuses on the University of Minnesota Studies in International Development (MSID) Kenya program.
