We believe learning is the liberating force in human development. An information-based society is better served when individuals function at higher levels of learning, thinking and doing. Our mission is to serve the people of Minnesota and the world by developing human capacity for excellence in learning, service and leadership. Its Location WSU's 47-acre campus is located near the heart of downtown Winona. The 4.25-acre Residential College campus, located two miles across town, is connected to the main campus via free, convenient bus service.
Students have convenient access to shopping, recreational activities and community resources.
WSU cooperates with these institutions, as well as institutions throughout the MnSCU system, to enrich the educational and cultural opportunities available for all students through sharing programs and resources. WSU's Rochester Center is an example of the sharing characteristics of Minnesota institutions. The Center is housed in the same facility as the Rochester Community and Technical College. ITV and computing connections link the Center to Winona sites, and Winona students can avail themselves to cultural opportunities in Rochester. You are invited to visit Winona State University to see for yourself what words and pictures cannot convey.
