Money appropriated for SMU on listed of federal projects

Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., has listed federal projects that will be headed to his district — courtesy of the Omnibus Appropriations bill — if both houses approve it in the coming days and it's signed by President Obama.

A total of $190,000 would go to Saint Mary’s University’s Teacher Mentorship Program to help expand the university’s educator professional development programs by using technology to allow greater outreach to teachers in Minnesota, with impact on thousands of students in critical STEM subjects.
