Hello, Huskies!

With spring finally here, with it comes St. Cloud State University's annual Giving Week. Through Giving Week we look to elevate our strategic priorities within the Husky Impact Fund, support Huskies athletics programs, and strengthen our ties to the greater St. Cloud region through the Husky Community Engagement Fund. We hope you'll consider supporting the priorities that most closely resonate with you and your Husky experience. While Giving Week is April 16-23 this year, you're welcome to give early if you just can't wait by clicking here !

In addition to supporting SCSU through your philanthropy, we hope you'll join us for at least one of the exciting events we have planned. In April we'll celebrate the Husky Sports Band 20th Anniversary and we'll host Huskies at the Planetarium , where we'll explore our solar system. SCSU Night at Target Field is May 19, and we hope you'll join #OurSCSU community as the Minnesota Twins take on the Houston Astros. Make sure to get your tickets today to snag your SCSU-Twins hat, and register for our pregame event for the chance to win prizes like Huskies hockey tickets, Twins tickets or signed memorabilia!

We hope you'll stay connected with us through whichever means you are able — attending an event , supporting SCSU , updating your contact information so we can keep you 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!
