A Husky hello graphic

Dear Huskies,

I am excited to join #OurSCSU community as interim vice president for Advancement & Alumni Engagement at St. Cloud State! I enjoyed a career spanning more than 30 years in higher education and philanthropy and am thrilled to come out of retirement to help continue SCSU’s mission to be bold, innovative and focused on the future.

In my short time on campus, I’ve encountered a spirit of collaboration throughout St. Cloud State. From the strong University leadership team to the high-quality employees, talented students and proud alumni, SCSU is clearly a special place to be. I’m excited to be able to play a part in building on the strengths of the University’s past as we positively move forward through the ever-changing landscape of higher education.

With this being the first edition of Huskies Tales since I joined the Husky pack, I wanted to introduce myself to #OurSCSU community and encourage you to join us at our upcoming events. Homecoming will be here before you know it, and we look forward to seeing you back on campus Oct. 23-25. Bookmark our Homecoming website and follow our social media pages for all the event details as they’re announced in the coming months.

As a new member of #OurSCSU community and as the son of an alumnus, I look forward to getting to know all our alumni, students, faculty, staff, donors and friends who make St. Cloud State the excellent institution that it is today.

Go Huskies!
