I realized next week is Thanksgiving, which means it is almost the end of the semester, which means it is almost spring semester, which means it is almost graduation, which means these blurbs from me will cease to exist.

Take advantage of now and read the news. Things can change with a blink of the eye.

Stay golden,

Collaboration with the Fond du Lac Band continues as deal to return land inches forward

by Nicolas Scibelli | Campus Reporter | Published Nov. 18, 2025

As a deal to return the land holding the University of Minnesota’s Cloquet Forestry Center moves forward, the University and the Fond du Lac Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa are working to improve their relationship.

The University announced in August it had reached an agreement in principle to return the forestry center property to the Fond du Lac Band. Former President Joan Gabel first announced the University’s intention to return the land in 2023.

Because a portion of the land within the Center is state-owned, the transfer back to the Fond du Lac Band must first pass through Minnesota’s legislature. Last year, a bill to return the Center to Fond du Lac passed multiple committees but ultimately failed, due to the legislature being unable to pass an investment bill prior to the legislative session’s end.
