Lakeville's Minnesota School of Business to Offer Free Workshops May 18

Editor's note: The following is a press release from the Minnesota School of Business.

The Minnesota School of Business is hosting a series of free, pet-themed educational workshops at its Lakeville campus on May 18.

The classes will be provided by MSB faculty, staff and students.  These educational workshops are part of Minnesota School of Business’s commitment to building communities through education. 

During the event, which runs from 3-7 p.m., participants will have the opportunity to attend several pet rescue and pet adoption classes. The first event, which is open to the public, will be a meet and greet with local animal rescuers, during which participants will learn about the pet adoption process. After the meet and greet, participants will have the opportunity to attend a series of classes that focus on dog and cat ownership, animal nutrition information, and disease control information.

The Minnesota School of Business, along with globe University and Broadview University is part of a premier, family-managed system of career colleges, universities and training centers based in Woodbury, Minn.  The Lakeville campus is one of 26 campuses in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Idaho and Utah participating in this network-wide community enrichment day. 

“Building Communities Through Education” is the theme for Minnesota School of Business’s sixth annual community service day. It underscores the school’s philosophy and commitment to giving back to the community by having students take an active role in creating and implementing projects that go beyond classroom learning. Educational workshops across the system of specialty skills colleges will range from pet wellness and Skype tutorials for seniors to grant writing, social media and interior design.

Last year’s Community Service Day was held at 26 campuses across five states, with about 800 employees donating approximately 4,500 hours of service to their local communities.

The free workshops are part of a larger nationwide “We SERVE” challenge issued by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) to engage career college students throughout the U.S. in giving back to their communities. 

“These workshops are an opportunity for our faculty, staff and students to share their skills, knowledge, dedication and passion for education to make a difference in their local communities,” said Mindy Myhre, director of community outreach and charitable giving for Globe University, MSB and Broadview University. “It also is part of our ‘We Care’ philosophy, which guides everything we do from academics to scholarships to community partnerships. We believe strongly in serving the communities where our employees and students work, live and go to school.  We are excited to invite the community into our campus to experience our passion for education.”
