Dragons After Dark Receives MnSCU Award
MSUM’s “Dragons After Dark” has been selected to receive a 2008-2009 Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Academic and Student Affairs award for Innovative Student Affairs Program. Awards were selected by peer Academic and Student Affairs campus administrators based on such criteria as adaptability, collaboration, and enhanced student development.
The citizens of Minnesota look to our Colleges and Universities to provide creativity, innovation and excellence as we continually evolve to better meet the needs of students and the state. The Dragons After Dark program exemplifies those characteristics that result in improved educational activities and services.
Recipients will be honored in conjunction with the Spring Chief Academic and Student Affairs Officers and Deans meeting on May 28 at 3:30 p.m., Hennepin Technical College, Eden Prairie campus.
