Celebrating MN Cup
MN Cup is a community-led, public-private partnership supporting Minnesota’s entrepreneurs. They host an annual competition that reaches emerging entrepreneurs from across the state and connects them with tools, resources and support to launch and accelerate the development of their new ventures.
Giving Back to Those Who Serve
Following a career serving their country, many veterans find it challenging to translate their military experience directly into a civilian career. Pursuing advanced degrees, particularly the MBA, can help with a career transition for veterans who have significant leadership and management experience in an area that doesn’t directly correlate with civilian employment.
Investment in Talent
Schwan’s Company and Schwan’s Corporate Giving Foundation are making significant, long-term investments in University of Minnesota academic programming and scholarships, food safety and nutrition research, entrepreneurial and women’s leadership programs, and Gopher Athletics. More than 400 U of M alumni are current or past members of the Schwan’s workforce.
