MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (07/17/2017) — The University of Minnesota announced today it is renaming two health-focused interdisciplinary centers in honor of College of Science and Engineering alumnus Earl E. Bakken in recognition of his support of the University and his field-shaping legacy. The centers will now be called the Earl E. Bakken Medical Devices Center and the Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing.

“Renaming these centers is our way of honoring the spirit of discovery and innovation that Earl Bakken has instilled in everyone he has encountered through his work at the University,” said Eric Kaler, president of the University of Minnesota. “He has been an inspiration to our faculty, staff and students and his efforts have helped us become leaders in finding new ways to promote health and healing in the communities we serve.”

Both interdisciplinary centers break the mold in exploring new ideas and fostering innovation.
