"I’m a two-time graduate and former employee of M State. I got my Accounting Diploma in 1980 and then, in 2007, graduated with my Accounting AAS degree. In 2008, I was hired to work in the business department at M State’s Wadena campus, and that’s where I stayed until retiring in 2023.  

I enjoyed the diversity of M State in that it is one college but offers four different campuses and climates. I was fortunate to form great working relationships with my colleagues on each campus, and many became great friends. As a student, I enjoyed M State’s small class sizes and small community campus feel. I was nervous about having classmates half my age when I returned to the college as an empty nester in 2005, but quickly learned age wasn’t an issue: We were all there for the same reason, and soon developed a camaraderie. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at M State as a student and was fortunate to extend that time as an employee."
