WINONA  — Gov. Mark Dayton is getting ready to field questions from Minnesota college students as he offers his take on the state’s future.

Dayton planned a forum today at Winona State University that is also expected to attract students from St. Mary’s University. The hour-long event is billed as a conversation about Minnesota’s future.

He’ll take questions from Winona State’s president and then open it up to students.

The governor is wrapping up the third year of a four-year term but plans to seek re-election in 2014.
