Mayville State Alumni Day Activities Planned for June 24
Herbel-Eisenmann, Holmes, Gulbranson, Baier, and Strands to be Honored
The Mayville State University Alumni Association will host the first-ever Alumni Day at Mayville State University, Mayville, N.D., on Friday, June 24, 2011. Activities planned throughout the day include an open house and tours of campus facilities, as well as the annual Alumni Association Awards Dinner and a musical variety show. A social for alumni and friends will wrap up the day's events. The events are being held in conjunction with Mayville-Portland’s annual Summerfest. All activities are open to the public.
The traditional Mayville State University Distinguished Alumni and Distinguished Service Awards will be presented at the Alumni Association Awards Dinner. This event has previously been held during Mayville State’s annual homecoming festivities. The change in date was made to accommodate the establishment of the MSU Athletic Coaches Hall of Fame and awards program that is now held during homecoming festivities. Plans are to continue to hold the Alumni Association’s annual awards dinner in conjunction with Mayville-Portland’s Summerfest.
Honorees at the Distinguished Alumni and Distinguished Service Awards Dinner will be 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients and Mayville State graduates Beth Herbel-Eisenmann, East Lansing, Mich.; Michael Holmes, Thompson, N.D.; and Darryl Gulbranson, Mayville, N.D. Distinguished Service Awards will be presented to Linda Baier and to Tim and Sue Strand, all of Mayville, N.D.
The Alumni Association Awards Dinner will be held in the MSU Campus Center Luckasen Room, beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, June 24. A time of socializing in the MSU Campus Center Foyer will precede the dinner. Socializing begins at 5:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
