Hey
Everyone!
My name is
Lucas Bade, and I get a chance to share with you a little bit about me and my
SMSU story. I am a senior majoring in
Physical Education with a Sport Management emphasis. One of the many things I
like about SMSU is the fact that everyone is different and has his/her own
story on how he/she got to where he/she is in life today. Some people are from
small towns and, some are from big cities; some are sons of CEO’s, and others
are farmers’ daughters. I have had a unique situation where I have received a
little of both perspectives. I live in Minnesota City, Minnesota, a town of 200
people; but Minnesota City is right next to a town of 30,000+. The latter is
where I went to high school and got the big-city feel. Spending time around
both has diversified me, allowing me to see different situations through
different viewpoints. In high school, I thought
I gained a lot of knowledge about the world around me, but SMSU has shown me
more.
My favorite
thing about SMSU and what it offers to its students is the education beyond the
classroom. Getting involved in college is essential to shaping who you are. I am personally involved with multiple clubs
and organizations on campus, and all are a little different. I am involved with
the Ambassador program, SMSU Student Senate, and Enactus. All three offer a
different group of people, a different knowledge base, and different skill set.
All have led to great experiences for me and meeting people I never thought I’d
meet. For example, last month Enactus flew a couple SMSU students out to
Riverside California for a Conference. At this event, I was able to meet a west
coast regional manager of Finish Line, get his contact information, and I now talk
with him on a weekly bases. SMSU has been a great place to mold my personal and
career goals.
Ride On
Stangs!
Lucas
