Jacqueline Johnson

Jacqueline “Jacquie” Johnson was UMN Morris' fifth chancellor and its first female chancellor. During her time at UMN Morris, she worked to promote the Morris campus within the UMN system and implement new sustainability practices. This included the addition of a new wind turbine and the construction of Green Prairie Living and Learning Community, a new residence hall on campus designed to meet sustainability guidelines. Along with the new dorm, the campus saw other changes to its infrastructure, including the building of Big Cat Stadium and the renovation of the Welcome Center.

Meiningens

Meiningens is the University of Minnesota Morris student theatre club. It was founded in 1961 as the "Drama Club," and presented its first play, "The Curious of Savage," in March of that year. The club has thrived since then, though it went through many name changes in its early years. Testifying to the group's vitality, during the covid year of 2021, the group released a video recording of their production of Euripedes' "Iphigenia in Aulis." In many ways Meiningens exemplifies much of what is unique about UMN Morris campus culture.
