The College is laser focused on achieving excellence across its mission. The Campaign for the College of Biological Sciences is a $21 million fundraising effort designed to accelerate critical, high-impact work across research, education and outreach. The campaign is part of the University of Minnesota's $4 billion Driven campaign.
