New to Morris

Welcome From Morris Chamber of Commerce

“This city of Morris has a longstanding tradition for dedication to community. On behalf of the business owners of Morris, we extend our warmest welcome to you as a new member of our community. Many members come together every day in our city’s pristine parks, local businesses, farms, community buildings and the University of Minnesota, Morris to form a strong network of co-workers, neighbors, and most of all friends. Whether you find yourself frequenting Don’s Café for shakes, Common Cup Coffeehouse for an open mic night or East Side Park for a community picnic, we hope that the contentment, sense of accomplishment and friendliness that this network has created follows you wherever you go. We hope, before long, you will join us in proudly calling Morris your home.”

For many years, UMMers have been meeting on Fridays for SOFA (Something on a Friday Afternoon). This is usually hosted by a different household every week and is a potluck dinner and get-together to celebrate the end of the week. It is a great way to meet people. Watch for emails with details about SOFA once the academic year begins.
