We invite you to join Achieve Twin Cities for our final EDTalks of the 2021-22 season featuring Indigenous leaders Nevada Littlewolf and Dr. Jon Peterson!
Launched in 2012 and based on the TEDTalks model, EDTalks raises public awareness of critical topics and strengthens community engagement and advocacy with and on behalf of our young people.
Each EDTalks event features two presentations and concludes with Q & A, ensuring that our speakers and audiences have opportunities for conversation and deeper dives into the evening’s topics. After hosting virtually all season, we are so excited to gather (physically, together) for this in-person event at Urban Growler in St Paul!
Talk 1: No Education Solutions Without Us
Public education is highly intersectional, but the communities most impacted by educational challenges are often not consulted or included in the solutions. Nevada Littlewolf (she/her), an Anishinaabe woman of the Leech Lake Nation, is the executive director of Elevating Education Minnesota, where she works to shine a light on Minnesota’s worst-in-nation educational disparities and work toward solutions. In her EDTalks, she will bring her cultural lens and long-time experience as a community leader to demonstrate what it means to be engaged and organized in systems change, policy development and leadership.
Presenter:
Over the past 25 years, Nevada Littlewolf (she/her) has built power with communities in Minnesota and across the country. A citizen of the Leech Lake Nation, Nevada is the founder of Rural American Indigenous Leadership and Seven Teachings LLC, and currently leads Elevating Education Minnesota. She is board chair for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, has served as a member of the Virginia (Minnesota) city council and was a 2016 Bush Fellow. Nevada has also worked with the Northland Foundation, ClearWay Minnesota, Oldenburg Arts and Cultural Community and the Minnesota Urban Debate League.
Talk 2: Uncovering Indigenous Models of Leadership
In 2007, Dr. Jon Peterson began the long and long-awaited journey back to his homeland of Samoa to reconnect with his roots, his homeland, his family and himself. Through this process, he discovered what it means to both love and live leadership, both as an educator and as a human, and developed a theoretical model for Indigenous Leadership that can be applied to work in education and beyond. In his EDTalk, Dr. Peterson will discuss his life’s work, “The Alofa Movement” (the Love Movement) and address the critical importance of honoring our ancestry and our roots as educators and leaders in these challenging times.
Presenter:
Susuga Leiataua Dr. Robert Jon Peterson (he/him) is the founder and president of TE2 Consulting, LLC, which provides consulting and cultural competency training for education clients and supports BIPOC leaders in growing their businesses. His 20+ years of educational experience as a teacher and administrator inform his practice as an Indigenous leader in the public, non-profit and private sectors. Dr. Peterson is also a published author, recording artist and lecturer at numerous colleges and conferences throughout the U.S. and the Pacific region. He carries the Paramount Matai, or chiefly, title of “Leiataua” from his native homeland of Samoa.

About the Job
Position Overview
Home to the arts, social science, humanities, and communications disciplines and programs, the College of Liberal Arts comprises 31 academic departments, and over 20 interdisciplinary research centers and administrative/support units. CLA has over 1300 faculty and staff implementing our mission. The College of Liberal Arts is located across 31 buildings of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, primarily on the east and west banks of the Minneapolis campus. CLA enrolls nearly 13,000 undergraduate students, over 40% of the undergraduate enrollment on the Twin Cities campus, about 1,500 graduate students, and has an annual all-funds budget of approximately $290 million.
The Chief Financial Officer works closely with the dean, associate deans, and collegiate directors to develop financial strategies for realizing the college’s academic priorities and advancing the goals of the CLA Roadmap. Those goals include a relentless pursuit of research and creative excellence; ensuring that our undergraduate and graduate students are career-ready; infusing diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the work and operations of the college; and deepening a culture and practice of engagement with constituencies and partners off-campus. The CFO also monitors CLA’s alignment with and promotion of the goals of MPact 2025, the systemwide strategic plan, particularly goals related to fiscal management.
The CFO leads the development, implementation, and assessment of the college’s short- and long-term financial strategies; leads, oversees, and coordinates collegiate fiscal administration, budget planning, payroll, institutional research, curricular financial planning and management; and serves as a resource to the dean, associate deans, department chairs, and unit administrators. The CFO reports directly to the dean and serves as a member of the dean’s cabinet. As a member of the dean’s cabinet, the CFO leads the financial operations of the college and also works collaboratively with the associate deans and collegiate directors to provide insight and innovation in curriculum management, human resources, development, external relations, and outreach. This leadership is provided in collaboration with an extraordinary team of creative staff who have helped develop and maintain extremely effective data management and financial systems. The CFO is the Resource Responsibility Center Manager for the college and represents the college to central administration and other University units on budgetary and fiscal matters. As an administrative officer of the University’s largest college, the CFO often plays a broad leadership role on University-wide committees. The CFO also represents the college in the Liberal Arts and Sciences Chief Administrative and Financial Officers group in the Big Ten Academic Alliance.
The College of Liberal Arts is a destination for curious, compassionate individuals who are committed to making our increasingly interdependent and diverse global community work for everyone. That foundational commitment begins in our CLA Constitution. CLA is committed to increasing enrollment of underrepresented and under-resourced students, diversifying our faculty across all disciplines, recruiting, and retaining a diverse staff, and promoting the expression and exploration of diverse perspectives and viewpoints—so that we all gain the background knowledge and analytical skills we need to understand and respect differences.
