We’ve had the great pleasure of welcoming high school students, coaches, and fans to Mayville State recently for some exciting basketball games. The impact of hosting high school tournament and state qualifier games extends far beyond the scoreboard. These events turn campus facilities into community gathering spaces as we welcome people from across the region. For a few days, the Lewy Lee fieldhouse became a hub of energy, competition, and connection.

As Mayville State University’s president, my focus includes strategy, administration, and big picture decision-making. Together with my team, I am responsible for shaping and safeguarding the institution’s vision, which includes guiding long-term planning, ensuring financial stability, advocating for resources, strengthening partnerships, and keeping the university aligned with its mission. There’s a need to balance the demands of today with the needs of tomorrow, and decisions that affect students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the broader community must be made.
At Mayville State, students are valued members of a close-knit community where involvement is encouraged, supported, and celebrated. Our small campus naturally lends itself to strong relationships, and opportunities for involvement make students feel seen, supported, and connected.
