Watch President Downs’ video on what sets Moorhead apart

President Downs BOT video highlights three unique strengths that support Minnesota State Moorhead’s long-term sustainability: Applied AI leadership, our upcoming Honors College, and experiential learning.

The two-minute video provides a clear snapshot of how Moorhead is building momentum, investing strategically, and standing apart in ways that matter. It was created for a systemwide leadership session, but it’s for all of us to know and understand how these distinctive strengths position Moorhead for the future and directly support our students, faculty, and region.
