Service, stewardship, and sacrifice
Our dedicated alumni board members were on campus June 2. In addition to holding their quarterly meeting, they participated in a tour at Old Main, where they were able to join other community members in seeing the progress in the renovation project. They also did some work on the campus grounds, adding plants to pots in the beautiful Legacy Plaza as well as the Military Honor Garden, located on the grounds at the Edson and Margaret Larson Alumni and Leadership Center. We are so very grateful for their commitment and dedication to making Mayville State the best it can be.
