Intern Hall of Fame
Celebrating Collaborators, Past and Present Welcome to the Intern Hall of Fame, a tribute to the brilliant minds and bold spirits who have shaped—and continue to shape—the Office of Equity, Opportunity, and Accessibility. This space honors the interns whose work reflects our unwavering commitment to justice, inclusion, and systemic transformation.
Why Young People Matter Young leaders bring fresh energy, unfiltered curiosity, and a fearless drive to challenge the status quo. Their voices are not just valuable—they’re vital. Interns have helped us reimagine policy, redesign outreach, and redefine what equity looks like in practice. Their contributions remind us that the future isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we build, together.
Intergenerational Design We believe in the power of collaboration across generations. When emerging leaders work alongside seasoned advocates, we unlock a dynamic exchange of ideas, strategies, and lived experiences. This intergenerational approach strengthens our work, deepens our impact, and ensures that progress is both innovative and rooted in legacy.
"As Chief Equity Officer of the State of Minnesota, I thank every intern for teaching us, challenging us, and helping transform our work towards One Minnesota!" Chief Equity Officer Ashley Oolman
