We missed you! I’ve been talking with MSUM President Anne Blackhurst and Concordia President Bill Kraft about you. It’s important to us that your experience in Moorhead is a good one. Our businesses, on both sides of the river, have missed you too. I see “Help Wanted” signs that I hope will give you good opportunities if you choose to have a job as you complete your education in our community. I think you’ll enjoy a few new entertainment and eating opportunities that happen this year too.
One of the things that Presidents Blackhurst and Kraft and I talked about it is opportunities for students to become involved with our community. September 9, 10 and 11 will be a grassroots opportunity to put your voice to what would be important for Moorhead to become/focus on/celebrate. Each is a casual European coffee house style event that starts at 6:30 at the Hjemkomst (9th). Marriott (10th) and Bluestem Center for the Arts (11th), respectively. It’s very important to me that students are a part of that voice so I hope you will stop by one of them. Welcome back. I’ll be at your colleges for a variety of events. Don’t hesitate to stop me to introduce yourself.
