Spring Advising, Men's Basketball, etc

Hey everyone! Yesterday I met with my academic advisor to choose classes for the Spring Semester. My advisor was really helpful in giving me suggestions for classes that I should take as a freshman so that I have a good balance of the required Liberal Arts Core classes as well as classes that I need for my major. I really appreciate that my advisor took the time to get to know me, and I got the impression that he really cared about how my first semester at SMSU is going so far. There are a lot of options to consider when choosing which classes to take but with the help of my advisor, I think I got it narrowed down!

The SMSU men’s basketball team kicked off the season with an exciting win last Tuesday, and the Mustang Maniacs were out in full spirit on the sidelines! A lot of my fellow Mustang Traditions residents were decked out in their bright yellow t-shirts in support of the Mustangs. Athletic events are always a blast when everyone is pumped up, and it sure helps that the team is off to such a great start!

Tonight there is a dance at the Centers! So much to do here at SMSU! =)

Elise's Week

Greetings everyone!

This week has seemed to fly by! On Tuesday, I watched the SMSU men’s basketball exhibition game against St. Olaf. Of course, the Mustangs won, and it was a great game to take in! I am looking forward to a lot more Mustang basketball action in the months to come! Yesterday, my roommate and I went to the Coffey Anderson concert here on campus. There were a lot of students who attended this free event, which was put on by several campus religious groups. Tonight we plan on seeing William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream put on by SMSU students. Tonight, opening night, the show is free to SMSU students! We love free entertainment!

Keep it classy!

Juno's Post

Hi Everyone. It's Juno!
The fall break was awesome. The International Student Organization put on a two-day-trip to Duluth. Even though the weather was chilly, fifty four international students had lots of fun. Shopping at the Mall on our way back was exciting too. Getting back to classes after a long weekend was kind of hard, though. The pumpkin carving at the ISO office was exciting, too. Twenty eight Thai delegations came for the event. We all had fun carving pumpkin for Halloween. Bingo gave many students a chance to win gifts after the pumpkin carving. We are all waiting eagerly for the next event by ISO - International Art Festival.
