Hello, Huskies!

This will be my last Huskies Tales message to you all. I joined St. Cloud State University last June as your interim vice president for Advancement & Alumni Engagement, and I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished together in less than a year. I know SCSU is in good hands under President Gregory Tomso and his leadership team moving forward. The search for our department's next vice president is well underway, so be sure to monitor your email and follow our social media pages for updates as they become available.

While closing my professional connection with SCSU is certainly bittersweet, I leave my position thoroughly impressed with the alumni, students, faculty, staff and donors I've been fortunate enough to meet and connect with during my time here. #OurSCSU community is a strong and passionate one, and seeing the dedication you all have for this university has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you for making this experience such a positive one, and I look forward to following SCSU's journey in the years to come. Once a Husky, always a Husky.

While we've certainly accomplished quite a bit together, there's always more work to be done. I hope you'll continue to stay connected with your university through whichever means you are able — attending an event , supporting SCSU with a gift, updating your contact information so you can stay informed, and sharing your story through the #OurSCSU website . There is so much to be proud of in #OurSCSU community, and we will continue to celebrate our alumni and friends.

Go Huskies!
