WHO ARE WE
|
In reflection of my college career coming to an end, I wanted to recap on a blog I wrote earlier this semester. The last few years of my college experience has been a lot of growth for me personally, but captivatingly altering in terms of our world. As the semester winds down and the world keeps spinning, I urge you to continue remembering who you are.
Thank you for letting me write for you this year!

GOODBYE COLLEGE!

As my internship comes to an end, I want to say thank you to all who have helped me succeed during my four years at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts with students, staff, and faculty at the University.

*GRADUATION COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
REFLECTIONS FROM FORMER AND FUTURE GRADUATES
|
A graduation commencement ceremony is what most students look forward to at the end of their college career. Due to COVID-19, graduates for the past year were unable to participate in this tradition. We asked former graduates and future graduates to reflect on the cancelation of this memorable moment in their college career.

Ja'Cey Simmons is a Milwaukee, WI. native and a sprinter on the Minnesota State women's track and field team. This past weekend at the Drake Relays, Simmons was a part of the 4x100m relay team that finished first with a qualifying time of 45.25, which set a new Minnesota State outdoor track and field record and now the top time in the nation. I guess you could say "Slow Dancing in the Dark" by Joji could be her night time jam.

Shaheed Hickman is sophomore from Minneapolis, Minn. and a sprinter on the Minnesota State men's track and field team. During the Drake Relays this past weekend, Hickman was a part of the men's 4x100m relay team that finished first with a time of 40.76, which is tenth best in DII. If you live is his neighborhood, consider yourself lucky if he wins the lottery.
