About the Minnesota Profile

January 19, 2008 — 4:57pm

Twice yearly, in January and July, the Star Tribune profiles a notable Minnesotan -- someone who is in the news or whose work touches the news. The Minnesota Profile highlights someone who is defining life in Minnesota, setting the agenda, or captivating the public. We might profile someone whose name is familiar, or we might profile a rising star. If you have suggestions, drop an e-mail to projects editor Laurie Hertzel at lhertzel@startribune.com.
