Mayville State University alumni and friends had the best time connecting in Arizona during events hosted by the MSU Foundation and Alumni Association Feb. 14-15, 2025. We thank Mayville State alumnus Andy Strand and Western State Bank for a generous sponsorship which helped to support the events.

The annual Traill County/Mayville State University reunion luncheon was held at Apache Wells Country Club in Mesa Friday, Feb. 14, 2025. The event is a decades-old tradition, and in the spirit of helping to facilitate this annual event, the staff of the MSU Foundation assisted with arrangements and coordination of the luncheon.

Those who attended enjoyed socializing, lunch, and hearing updates from Mayville State President Dr. Brian Van Horn and MSU Foundation Executive Director Lon Jorgensen. As a special highlight, current Mayville State students Noelle Erickson and Brandon Albrecht shared their perspectives as Comets of today.
