Sesquicentennial will recognize St. Cloud State's achievements, community, educational excellence and lasting legacy. It will be a foundation upon which alumni, friends, students, employees and the St. Cloud community can establish an even greater future.
We will celebrate our 150-year commitment to serving the state of Minnesota and its people, while looking forward to our goal of becoming Minnesota's 21st Century Engaged University.
Sesquicentennial will recognize the intricate relationship between the University and the City of St. Cloud and the immense similarities in their growth and maturation during their histories. The celebration will demonstrate the significant role the University has played in the development of Central Minnesota and the state of Minnesota.
Events and initiatives -- from September 2018 to September 2019 -- will communicate the value and relevance of a St. Cloud State education.
