Mariucci Arena

Hail! MinnesotaMinnesota, hail to thee!

Hail to thee, our college dear!Thy light shall ever be

A beacon bright and clear.Thy sons and daughters true

Will proclaim thee near and far.They will guard thy fame

And adore thy name;Thou shalt be their Northern Star.Like the stream that bends to sea,Like the pine that seeks the blue;

Minnesota, still for theeThy sons are strong and true.

From the woods and waters fair;From the prairies waving far,

At thy call they throng with their shout and song;Hailing thee their Northern Star.

—Truman Elwell Rickard

collaborating with a broad variety of

renowned external partners. Working

closely with the business and R&D

leaders of 3M, Porcini’s mission is

to evolve and nurture the company’s

internal design culture leveraging their

technology heritage and background to

produce innovation and growth with a

new experience-driven approach.

Porcini is regularly invited as a guest

the IF, and the PLUS Awards.

Before joining 3M, Porcini founded

and co-owned the design firm Wisemad
