Duluth, Minn. - The NSIC SAAC Summit took place May 21-23, 2010 in Duluth, Minn. On Saturday, May 22nd the student athletes volunteered at Playfront Park.
The Junior League of Duluth was rebuilding Playfront Park on the Bay! The park needed to be replaced and the Junior League had made the commitment to the city to raise funds to make that happen. The new playground was an Evos design structure that enhances children's balance, coordination and strength. The playground was built in May 2010 and dedicated the first weekend of June. The Junior League raised funds through local, state and national grants as well as various fundraising activities.
There are still ways for community members to continue to contribute to this project, at various sponsorship levels or can volunteer to help with the building of the new park May 21-May 24, 2010 (Read More)

Faculty Athletic Rep Dr. Benji Smith presents an award to Alison Ramaeker for achieving a GPA over 3.6

MOORHEAD, Minn. - Food, fun and recognition were served up in hearty portions to hundreds of student-athletes in the Minnesota State University Moorhead Nemzek Fieldhouse on Tuesday as the Dragons celebrated National Student-Athlete Appreciation Day.

The Student Athlete Advisory Committee and Associate Athletics Director Sylvia Barnier planned the event with the goal of having fun, eating together and recognizing the academic performances of student-athletes. 

The event kicked off with a scavenger hunt to grow relationships amongst the student-athletes and to build up an appetite.

The student-athletes then had their fill of hot dogs and burgers that were grilled to perfection by members of the Dragons coaching staff.

Rounding out the night, student-athletes with a GPA over 3.6 were recognized for their achievements in the classroom.
