All Minnesota State Grant recipients, as well as interested faculty and staff, are invited to join us for Day at the Capitol 2026 to advocate for increased support for low- and middle-income college students. Our legislators need to hear from you about the Minnesota State Grant program!
What: 2026 Day at the Capitol
Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2026
Time: 8:45 a.m.–1:30 p.m. (plus travel time to St. Paul)
During Day at the Capitol, students will attend a Minnesota State Grant advocacy and lobbying training with student advocates from Augsburg and other Minnesota private colleges. Then you’ll meet with legislators and have (free) lunch at the Capitol. The Minnesota Private College Council will host a Q&A session with public policy experts and policymakers and will provide everything you need to be a successful advocate.
Sign up by February 24.
