Greetings from Dragon Athletics!

As the end of the year is fast approaching, we are taking the time to reflect on the past year. I feel it is important to celebrate the successes, embrace the challenges and reaffirm what athletics is trying to accomplish for our student-athletes, our university and our regional community.

Marjorie Sheppard, 1921-2009

The Minnesota Twins lost one of their most devoted fans when Marjorie Sheppard, 88, Arlington, Texas, formerly of Moorhead, Minn., died Friday, May 29, 2009, in Arlington. Marjorie was employed at Minnesota State University Moorhead for 21 years until her retirement.
