Presentations
Speakers for Central Minnesota Audiences
Business leaders, professional groups, and community audiences often want to know what the economy means for their region, their industry, and their next decision. CPRCE provides talks on the regional and national economic outlook, labor markets, housing, child care, and other topics drawn from the Center's research. Most are given by the Center's director, and other St. Cloud State faculty speak when their expertise fits the audience better.
Talks for public agencies and community nonprofits are free, as part of the university's service to the region. Private firms and associations that charge members or attendees, for example for continuing education credit, pay a fee. That fee supports the Center's research and the students who work on it.
