"Minnesota Nice" makes for successful communities. "Civic Life in America," a study of over 80,000 Americans, found that Minnesotans benefitted from residents working better together. Besides having the top rates of volunteerism and civic engagement, there is a sense that "we're all in this together" reports Mark Snyder, UM Psychology professor. Building a strong community means that when we need help, it's available....and that's a nice feeling.
