Dear Huskies,

Even though Mother Nature seems to be a bit confused at the moment here in Minnesota, it is officially spring. Spring commencement is on the horizon, and hopefully the weather soon follows suit. Huskies in and around Arizona are encouraged to join President Robbyn Wacker next week for an #OurSCSU evening to connect and network April 4 in Scottsdale. Click here for more information and to RSVP.

Springtime also means the start of baseball season, which includes our annual SCSU Day at Target Field. St. Cloud State University students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends and future Huskies are invited to join us April 20 when the Minnesota Twins take on the Detroit Tigers. This year's ticket package includes a co-themed SCSU Twins jersey. If enough reservations are made, two buses will be available from SCSU to Target Field and back. Bus reservations can be made here, and Twins tickets can be purchased here. Sections 101-104, 136-138 and 237-240 are recommended for those looking to gather with fellow Huskies. We hope to see you there!

We welcome you to get involved, share your story and update your information so we can stay connected by visiting the #OurSCSU website.

Go Huskies!
