Mike Miller, U of M Legislative Advocacy Coordinator, is passionate about helping U of M students, faculty, and staff influence the legislative process through quick, simple actions. Mike has spent the last 20 years involved in Minnesota politics, starting before his graduation from the Twin Cities campus in 2002. He returned to the U of M in fall 2015 to run UMN Advocates, and in that time the number of annual contacts from U of M supporters has increased 60 fold! Mike is currently seeking his master’s degree in Public Affairs at the Humphrey School, is a father of two, and spends summers playing baseball in a senior men’s league.
All UMN staff are welcome to this presentation brought to you by the Communications and Outreach Subcommittee of the Civil Service Senate and the Professional Development and Recognition Subcommittee of the P&A Senate.
