The Friends Action Network is a grassroots network of faculty, students, staff, alumni and community members who value Minnesota's 32 state colleges and universities.

The Friends Action Network will encourage supporters to talk to their friends, family, neighbors - and especially their elected officials - about the value that the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system offers to the state. FAN will provide a common voice and message to build public support for one of the state's greatest assets - Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.
