Our MissionThe mission of Winona State University is to educate and enlighten our citizenry at a distinctive institution: A community of learners dedicated to improving our world. Winona State University History
Winona State University was founded in 1858 when the first Minnesota State Legislature established normal schools “to prepare teachers for the common schools of the state.” The first tax supported school west of the Mississippi River was established at Winona to train teachers for a new frontier. Citizens of Winona quickly supported the school with donations of more than $7,000 in money and land. Last Modified: Friday, November 20, 2009 12:49 |
