Relocating
to the Twin Cities
U of M programs
University
of Minnesota Relocation Assistance Program
The Relocation Assistance Program (RAP) introduces new or
prospective University of Minnesota faculty and staff to the
richness and diversity of the Twin Cities campus and the communities
of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
RAP, a unit in the University of
Minnesota's Office of Human Resources, operates independently of the
hiring department. Candidates for positions and new employees may
contact RAP directly to gather important campus and community
information.
The University of Minnesota, a community
within itself, also has many offices and programs that can make your
personal and professional transition easier, and put you in touch
with people with similar interests. Sometimes having a candid
conversation with a resident or employee is the most enlightening
way to obtain desired information. RAP maintains a list of minority
scholars who are willing to talk confidentially about life in
Minnesota and at the U of M with candidates and new hires. If you
are interested in speaking with someone on this list, contact Mary Everley, associate director, Relocation Assistance Program,
1-800-227-8636, 612-626-0775, or rapland@umn.edu.
