Letter from the Director of Admissions,
Sherlonda Clarke
Greetings from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul!
I would like this letter to dually serve as an introduction of myself and a welcome to our online program for you. My name is Sherlonda Clarke and I am the Director of Admissions at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. I would like to extend a warm welcome from the University of Minnesota! I look forward to spending our 6 weeks getting to know you and being of any assistance you may need while you’re participating in your Junior Summer Institute (JSI).
This site will serve as a resource and as a record of our 2021 cohort activities. We will be adding to this site as we build our program & complete activities.
We, at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, are thrilled to have you and we look forward to a productive and successful summer.
Again, welcome and we will see you online soon!
