Social Mobility Summit at Metro State University

For years, Metro State has earned Minnesota’s #1 ranking in CollegeNet's Social Mobility Index, which measures colleges’ and universities’ success in elevating students from low-income strata into the middle class by five years after graduation.

Metro State University invites you to join us for a special event, the Social Mobility Summit, featuring Jim Wolfston, the developer of the Social Mobility Index (SMI).

Wolfston will discuss how schools like Metro State are empowering students through affordable tuition and clear pathways to good jobs with sustainable wages. Learn how Metro State’s recent achievement—ranking 31st out of 1,204 institutions nationwide on the SMI—highlights our commitment to fostering equity and opportunity.

Please register by March 24.
