Minnesota State Chancellor Devinder Malhotra

Greetings! I'm Devinder Malhotra, chancellor of Minnesota State. The transformative work at our 37 state colleges and universities inspires me because it has an incredible impact on our state and its people. To ensure that Minnesota State can continue to deliver on its commitments to the people of Minnesota in an era of rapid change, everything we do is focused on three critical priorities: 

  • The Success of our Students particularly those who learn differently from students in previous generations
  • Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as we respond to a demographic shift and welcome an increasing number of students from populations traditionally underserved by higher education, incluidng our Equity 2030 initiative
  • The Programmatic and Financial Sustainability of campuses as our colleges and universities respond to new budget realities

I believe that despite the challenges facing higher education today, Minnesota State is positioned to deliver on its commitment to nurture and enhance a civically engaged, socially mobile, and economically productive Minnesota.

To highlight some of our work, I'm exctied to blog about our collective Minnesota State stories here! Please check back often and join us on our journey...
