University of Minnesota president Eric Kaler will make an appearance Tuesday at the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber officials say Kaler will be on hand for "a discussion about the vital role of the University in advancing regional business".
In his inauguration speech last week, Kaler called for greater cooperation between the university and Minnesota businesses.
