A neighborhood bordering the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus is adding student voices to its community council.
The St. Anthony Park Community Council voted Thursday to add two student positions to its board, a move that has some University leaders praising the organization for involving students.
Once chosen, the students will serve one-year terms. Applicants must be at least 16 years old and live or attend school in St. Anthony Park. Amy Sparks, the council’s executive director, said the positions will be promoted mainly through social media.
