Welcome new SE Como Student Neighborhood Liaison

The University of Minnesota’s Office of Student and Community Relations sponsors a Student Neighborhood Liaison Program. Its mission is to improve the livability of the neighborhoods near the U of M campus by partnering with neighborhood organizations and residents to bridge the gap between students and their neighbors. The student liaisons facilitate block meetings and share resource information about responsible party hosting, being a good neighbor, city ordinances and landlord/tenant rights. They also organize and host social and community service events, such as the annual Como Cookout.

Student liaisons can offer assistance in improving relations between long-term residents and student renters. If you have concerns about a house or apartment with student renters or issues with a chronic party house in your neighborhood, use the Liaison Lookup to identify and contact the appropriate liaison.

The new liaison for 22nd, 23rd and 24th Avenues SE north of Como is Kelsey Peterson. Contact her at pete6747@umn.edu with any issues and concerns or just to introduce yourself and offer a welcome to the neighborhood.
