The University of Minnesota announced in October that it will no longer host high school commencement ceremonies.

C2i began as a program of Summit Academy OIC in North Minneapolis in 2002 before establishing its 501(c)3 status in 2010, becoming its own nonprofit organization. Now approaching 16 years in service, the organization continues to focus on preventing foster youth from falling into cycles of homelessness, criminal justice involvement or other systemic challenges.
