Tom
Gillaspy, Minnesota State Demographer |
| Tom
Gillaspy has served as the Minnesota State Demographer since
1979. During that time, he has been involved with a wide-ranging
set of issues, applying an
understanding of demographic trends in such areas as the state's
economy, health care for an aging population, higher education,
welfare reform, rural population change, labor shortages,
government spending, and the aging state
workforce. Today's keynote panel address, Minnesota Demographic
Change and Higher Education, will focus on the changing
demographics
of Minnesota's state college and university students. |
