Goldy's Winter Break

The University of Minnesota is hosting winter break events for both international and U.S. students who are here on campus or staying locally around the area. Join us to make friends, celebrate with each other, and have fun! 

Some events will be chaperoned by staff, and some events are on your own. Most events will try to feature a snack/food and be as low-cost or free to you as possible.

Email Marina Uehara at [email protected] if you have any questions.
