Spring Break week is coming to a close and the campus is finally starting to hop with students. This weekend our Comet Athletic Club is hosting a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, which will be great to get communities around the Red River Valley on campus. Twenty-four teams will be here for a fun-filled basketball Saturday. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and actually bring spring temperatures 'cause the frigid air is starting to get a bit old. Seems as though the weeks just keep on cruising. Only two more months of school left and then it is summer...craziness! Oh and Daylight Savings on Sunday...SPRING forward an hour! Don't forget!
It has changed, but on some things it is a little slower to show...As of December 29th I became a Chin =)

VISIT DAY VISIT DAY VISIT DAY!!
I hope to see all of you at our Visit Day on February 22nd and 23rd. Come and experience a taste of college life at Mayville State University! It is going to be a totally NEW and FUN way to get a feel for the campus! Check out www.mayvillestate.edu/visitus for more details!
Well, its a little chilly outside today...actually this entire week has been below zero! We had our first student ambassador meeting this morning and have a lot of students that are anxious to start giving campus tours. If you are interested in Mayville State please come visit us soon. We will also have visit days in Feb. on the 22nd and 23rd. Let me know if you are interested and I can get you some information! Stay warm!
Holiday break is now offically over! Classes started again yesterday at 4pm (I was lucky enough to have class at 4:30 yesterday so I even got to go). I have a feeling this semester is going to be a lot of work! But, I am looking forward to the end of the semester when I get to do a five week internship in a classroom! There is a lot going on this week, we have all sorts of Welcome Back week activities like a movie, comedian, karaoke and game night! It is great seeing everyone again! Hope the New Year goes well!
I am not really sure where the semester went but its gone. Finals start next week, I am lucky that I don't have any final test this time around but I have a bunch of projects and binders to complete! So, looks like a weekend of HOMEWORK!!!! We had a small snow storm here yesterday and the ground is now covered in a beautiful blanket of white. Lots of people have been going over to the sledding hill for some winter activities. I hope to get there this week or next. Our 4th grade field experience ends tomorrow. We are having a small party for them after they complete there tests. I am going to miss those kids and hope they have had as much fun as I have. If nothing else I sure did learn a lot!!
Turkey day is upon us!!!!!!! HURRAY!!! Vacations are always GREAT!! I can't get over how nice the weather has been. It is the middle of November and I am still able to run outside! Love it.
We had a bunch of prospective students on-campus last week. We got to take the students out for Pizza, went to the play, and ended the night with cosmic bowling! The play was wonderful. I think I laughed the whole time. It was fun to watch the students in character. On saturday we got to go behind the scenes of the play and check out the set. We also got to meet with a few of the cast members. I had a good time, and I hope the students did too. I think they got a bit sick of the name games I wanted everyone to play, but they really got to know each other well. (I think they secretly liked it!) Let me know if any of you want to come visit us and check out Mayville State. It's a pretty good time!
Well, we woke up with some snow on the ground and some very cold weather! But, I guess we should expect that. I have been spending most of my time doing homework the last few weeks. End of the year projects and my Blocks I 4th Grade Field experience have been keeping me very busy! I am looking forward to a LONG weekend! And hoping for a chance to get caught up! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Its getting to be that crazy time of the semester again. As part of Blocks II in Elementary Education we spend five weeks in an internship. We are in full swing of that right now and things are going quite well. Final projects are also starting to pile up on top of that. I'm looking forward to having a nice break to catch up on everything.
Well, I would love to say that it is COLD outside (becuase really i think it is). However, my science teacher says that we are not to say its cold out until we hit ABSOLUTE ZERO which is -495 degrees Fahrenheit or -273 degrees Celsius. So, until that time I will just say that winter is here...and we should get our winter jackets out! Fall sports are just about done. Football finished with a win at home, GOOD JOB BOYS! Volleyball is just about over, GOOD LUCK GIRLS! Basketball seasons have started, so if you are in the area come check out the Comet Men's and Women's Basketball teams! We only have 5 weeks left of school until finals! I am not sure where the semester has gone, but the Holiday break will be here soon! My classes are getting very busy with final projects. We start our 4th Grade Experience in about a week! I am very excited and nervous! But, I have class at 4 so I should probably gather my stuff and start walking!
Over the weekend, Mayville won their last football game! That was pretty exciting. It was a great game to be at. It is starting to get cold and windy here. Winter is on his way. It has been raining a bit, and it is supposed to turn into snow. Winter is always fun... for the first two weeks!Winter does bring sledding, snow ball fights, AND SNOW DAYS! Classes Canceled! We have a basket ball game tonight. Hopefully we will win. I will for sure be there to cheer the team on!
How do you know Winter is a male? Is that just because nature is a mother?
Answer:
Males are fierce, cold, and over stay their welcome!

Last night was our third student teaching seminar and the highlight of the night was finding out our placements. Mayville State has a partnership with a school district in Houston, Texas that accepts student teachers from here and around the United States to do their clincal experience in their schools. Starting in January, I am taking that opportunity and will begin my student teaching in the Aldine School District in Houston, Tx. I am so excited for this wonderful challenge yet nervous at the same time. It will be quite a change from the school systems I am used to around here so it will definately be a wonderful learning experience for me. Another perk will be skipping out of the cold North Dakota winters for a little bit of Texas heat!
Well, I am pretty sure that it has rained here EVERY DAY THIS WEEK! I am pretty much sick of it. But glad it is Thursday and the week is almost over! Next week in my classes we will be teaching a space science lesson to the students at Peter Boe Jr. Elementary School in Mayville. The field experience opportunites at Mayville State are great and will really help when it comes time for me to be out in my own classroom! We have our last home volleyball games this weekend and mens and women's basketball is starting up. Comet football will be out in Dickinson this weekend...lots going on and lots to cheer about! Good Luck this weekend Comets!!!
Hey Sarah. I am a senior in High school right now and I was just wondering what made you decide to go to college at Mayille State? I'm WAY undecided about what I"m doing and where I want to go. I need some insight. Thanks
Answer:
Hi Tammy! Deciding where to go to college is so difficult! It wasn't until I visited Mayville State that I knew this was the right place for me. I really loved the way their education program was set up and the personal service and attention I got when I came on campus. If you are unsure of what you would like to major in, Mayville State is a great place to start out. You can get your generals taken care of at a college where you will never sit in a lecutre hall with 300 others! I really hope this helps you! If you would like to visit Mayville State please call us at 1-800-437-4104 ext 34842. Also, if you have other questions let me know!

Alright, I have been out on the road recruiting for about a month now, and I come home to no questions or comments on this blog. I NEED thoughts PEOPLE!! I must have questions!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't be scared. I promise none of us will bite.
Today we kick off Homecoming Week here at Mayville State. Im always excited for this time of year. We have lots of fun activities going on around campus. Tonite, we start with a hynotist. He has been here for a number of years and continues to put on a good show. Throughout the rest of the week we have the traditional coronation night and lip sync nights, followed by a parade and football game on Saturday. I look forward to a fun and exciting week. GO COMETS!

Next week will be exciting to meet new students in MN. The National Fair will be on Tuesday and Wednesday in Minneapolis. I, along with 2 other faculty members from MSU, will then visit the Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Wadena on Thursday to share about our Early Childhood and BAS programs. On Friday, I will travel to the Ridgewater--Hutchinson campus, and then onto an annual Leadership Conference of the Phi Theta Kappa Society at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN. I look forward to meeting all the new people in MN. It will be a great week!
Hey,
I was looking through the pictures on the student life page and I noticed there were cheerleaders. I didn't think that Mayville State had any cheerleaders and I was wondering if thats a new activity added this year or if thats a different squad from a highschool and it was a picture taken during a basketball tournament that is normally held at Mayville State? I'm transferring here next semester and was a cheerleader in high school so I was wondering if that was available for me to look in to or not?
Answer:
Hi Brittany! We do not currently have a cheer squad at Mayville State; however, there is a lot of interest in starting the squad back up. I think that it is something that will start again over the next couple of years. When you get here next semester you should come talk to me and I can help get you in contact with a group of girls who are interested in getting the squad going again.

FINALLY Thursday!
Wow, I didn't think this week would ever end!! I have been really lucky this week that I have not had a lot of homework, however I don't think that will be the case forever:(. This week I got to give my first campus tour of the year. It was nice to meet the prospect student and her family! They were both very nice and I hope she will join us in the fall! This weekend I am planning on attending the Mayville State vs. Valley City HOME football game! It should be exciting. It would be great to see another Comet football win! Other than that the weekend is going to be spent relaxing! I can't wait! Well, I have a quick assignment to do so I should probably get that finished. Until next time! Later!
October Visit Days-Thursday 10-18 and Friday 10-19
Want to visit MSU, but not have to miss school to do it? Come see us during our October Visit Days! The visit days will be held on October 18th and 19th. These are days off for ND and MN high school students.
Please call the enrollment services office at 800-437-4104 ext. 34842 for more information or to RSVP.
Fall and students go hand in hand -- hopefully there are seniors considering their future by now. Do you have some campus tours lined up within the next couple of weeks?
Answer:
Hi Sheri, we just had "October Visit Days" on the 18th and 19th. We had 45 students on campus over these two days, so it was GREAT! Enrollment Services will be hosting "Join The Club" days on November 16-17. This will be an opportunity for students to see all the different student organizations that Mayville State has to offer. We are going to have fun workshops, see MSU Theater Department's production of "The Music Man", go bowling, and lots more. I'm really excited about it!

Planning of HS visits
Hello there! This week thus far has been rather long,but a relief all at the same time. I have spent quite a bit of time planning out my high school visits schedule to be occurring for the next month and a half. The week has been long due to the countless phone calls made and the tedious process of scheduling all of the 62 high schools I am assigned to visit. It will be nice to get out on the open road again next week and chat with prospective Mayville State students! I love that part! It is exciting to see the backgrounds of each person and share a little bit of mine as well. For those of you whom have any questions or know that I will be coming to visit your high school, stop by and say hello and ask me any questions that you have about Mayville State University! I look forward to visiting with you!
Trust that the road trips are going well; hopefully students are receptive to the info you are willing to share about MSU.
Answer:
The roadtrips are going well...Each spot is a little different, but it is nice to see the interest and enthusiasm that people have for Mayville State. I look forward to seeing where things go...

it feels like fall today!
After a SUPER nice weekend it is feeling very cold outside today! I can tell that winter is going to be here soon, and am both happy and sad. I'm excited to particpate in winter activities such as skiing, skating and sledding. But, I love summer and am going to miss spending time at the lake!
We had farmer's bowl and preview day over the weekend, both went very well. Thank you to all the HS students that came and visited the MSU. I hope you had a wonderful time. If you would like to visit the college make sure to let us know! The parade, corn and hot dog feed, football game and volleyball game were also a lot of fun! GOOD JOB COMETS!
Well, I have a test at 4, so I should look over my notes! Have a good week!
Hello everyone! So I have made it through the first two weeks of college fairs located throughout North Dakota. I think that with all my travels, I have become a professional map reader ;) It has been great getting to see the great state of North Dakota and see all the different terrains that the state has. I do now see how we are located in the Red River Valley and have become excited about North Dakota more than I could have ever imagined. The recruiting trail is a long one, but I really enjoy getting to meet all the HS students and the other recruiters that are out on the road with me. Welp, this next week I am sure is going to fly by and then it will be time to get all my upcoming HS visits all scheduled and then it is back on the road again....Yay for Mayville State University!!
Well i was wondering if you could get your degree where you can counseline teenage girls who have depression or just simple thinks wrong. I went through alot of that stuff from age 9 - 15 and i also went through alot of counseling which really happened me alot. I am now 17 years old and once in while i will go to a counselor but other than that i am great on my own. Thanks hope you can help me answer my question.
Answer:
YES! We have an Applied Psychology degree that would prepare you for a Graduate degree in Counseling. Individuals who are looking to go into the counseling profession must complete four years of undergraduate work and two more additional years in a Masters program. It takes a lot of work, but if it’s something you want to do, the time will be well spent! Go for it!

what a BEAUTIFUL fall day!
It is really nice outside today, I really wish that I could be out riding bike or something! I hope that it stays nice for this weekend! We have Farmer's Bowl football game, corn and hot dog feed and auction! It should be a lot of fun. Along with all of that stuff, we have our fall preview day. I will be working at the welcome desk in the morning and talking on Y94 radio station during the corn and hot dog feed. I am really excited for all the events! I should probably do some homework so that I am able to attend these events. I have a BIG test next Tuesday along with a bunch of assignment due! Maybe we will see some of you this weekend!
Why dont you talk about the football team more. Like maybe the coolest guy on it. I dunno I think you might be ashamed of him.
Answer:
Well I'm pretty sure I told the coolest guy on it, good game today! But I agree we should talk about the football team more on here because they are doing AWESOME!! Let's go for the upset this weekend and beat the Jimmies!!

It's weird to finally be back in classes. For the past two weeks instead of going to class, myself and the rest of my classmates have been teaching the Northwood students in the school slightly renevated for them. It was a excellent learning experience to have prior to student teaching.
Congratulations to MSU Football team for the exciting triple overtime win this past weekend.
Heading to Northland Community and Technical College this week!
MSU is a great place to transfer! On Thursday, Sept. 20th, Terry Kemmer and I will be heading to NCTC in Thief River Falls and East Grand Forks. If you'd like to meet with us, please contact me!
Our Comet Football team came away with the win over South Dakota Tech! Triple overtime, blocked field goals, and way too nerve racking for me.....but WE DID IT! Great job guys.
We surprised Mitch and enjoyed the game with many other comet fans in the stands at Durham field. What a beautiful campus!
K & K -- dressed in summer clothes today? Unbelievably hot -- SD weather on Sat. moved north and west I guess.
Answer:
I'm so glad that you were able to make the game. I sure wish I would have been there! Mitch did a great job. Yes, K&K were in t-shirts again. We are enjoying it because it won't last long!

Things on the road are going well... It is nice to meet prospective Mayville State students! How is the Preview Day planning going? I spoke with a few more students today about it, so hopefully they will join the fun. There is one fella that I need to call when I get back into town to confirm him coming. He is from Hope-Page and is interested in playing football...good weekend for him to come check things out! Hope all is well back on campus and see you Friday when I return!
Answer:
Preview Day is all set! I can't wait, it is going to be a lot of fun. It is a great time for FB players to visit. It will be fun for them to hang out on the sidelines with the team. See you on Friday.....don't forget we're having your b-day party!

Think about visiting us during our Farmers Bowl weekend for our first Preview Day of the new academic year. It will begin Saturday morning, September 22nd!
This past week was LONG! (Notice the CAPS Lock!) LONG!
Class has been kinda tough. Homework Homework Homework!!!I have joined a lot of organizations this year. You name it, I am in it. Well, not the science club. I guess chemicals and numbers are not my thing. I went to the Mayville Theatre, the Delchar, this weekend. The folkes on the screen sound like they are on helium, but hey... It's only five bucks!!! I got a pretty strong urge for pizza at 3 in the morning on Saturday, so I took a 2 mile journey to Cenex. CENEX GOT RID OF THE PIZZA COOKER!!! I had to settle for pizza rolls in the microwave. They were not the same, but it sure satisfied my cravin'!
Sunday was homework day. Well, it was supposed to be anyway. Darn MSN kept distracting me!!! I had three papers to write, and I only got one of them done. I had to wake up this mornin' at 8 to finish that mess!!! I don't know about you folkes, but 8 is EARLY. (once again, notice the CAPS!)
Yeah well, class starts in 30 minutes. I suppose I should get ready. Ya'll have yourself a dandy ol' day!

Hello everyone! I hope you find this new blog site fun and informative. I think it is a great idea and I am excited to see how well it goes.
At the moment my brain is not in function mode because I fear it might be frozen considering how cold it is right now. I was on the search to find a space heater for the office but that was unsuccessful. It is not suppose to be this cold yet!! Hopefully it warms up this afternoon because I will be taking the students I am teaching on a nature walk to find some objects for our art project. Today will be my last day of working with the students so I hope for a fun time.
Only one more day of teaching this week! I taught my second to last nature trail lesson this morning! We got observed today so I really hope that I did well! We are teaching out there again on Thursday and then we are done. The Northwood experience is also over and what an AMAZING time we had. It is funny how quickly you become attached to the students. I had a lot of fun with them and will miss them a lot. I hope that we are able to set up more field experiences with the school. Well, thats about all I have for now. I have class at 4 tonight so I better look over my information!
Hey ya'll! So on Monday Matt and myself embark upon our first roadtrip as recruiters for Mayville State University. Matt heads out to Montana and I am going to a number of towns out in the western part of North Dakota. I am so excited and nervous at the same time! I am sure to expect lots of country music to entertain me on the drive and maybe a tree here and there...It should be an interesting journey to say the least and I am very much looking forward to it! Wish me luck!

September Already?!?!?!
Well, I can't believe that September is already here. There has been so much going on this semester that time is really flying! I am in the education Block I classes this semester and we started the Nature Trail field experience today. This is when 4th, 5th and 6th graders from area schools come to the Nature Trail in Mayville and we teach different lessons. I was so nervous when I woke up this morning but it all went great and the kids said they had a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again on Thursday! We are also helping out with the Northwood school as they attend classes in Portland for a couple of weeks. We are going to be teaching music, math and science. I am excited for this great opportunity also and will let you know how it goes! It's going to be a busy weeks so I better get some homework done!
Week two has been pretty good so far. It is really nice that class does not start until noon. I need my rest to function.
My classes are pretty small this semester. My smallest being 4 and my largest being 15. Thank God I have Facebook to get me through my day! I have got to get up on all of the Mayville gossip!
I have a student senate meeing tonight at 9. We are discussing some pretty intense stuff. I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you! (I am kidding. It is not a death threat.)
I have class at 5 tonight, and I have not started my homework yet. I suppose I should get on that!
I was just pondering the fact... How great it was at Mayville State, and how much I miss the helping staff and faculty. As a previous student at MSU, I just wanted to let the world know that if you are a student looking for personal attention and people who truly "do care" about the student's well being then... this school is the right choice for you!
Also, if you do decide that this is the school for you, (which it probably is..) make sure to meet the "infamous" Clayton Reed Dodson! He is a celebrity on campus ;)
I still bleed blue for the Comets =)

Answer:
HA HA HA!!!! Char, Char, Char!
Those biology majors are crazy! As an English Major, I would like to let Charlotte know that "before" is not a conjunction. Therefor, you do not need a comma after it.
Charlotte is right though. If you want to be at a place where everyone knows not only your face but your name, Mayville is the place to be. Even the community members know college students. Mayville, the town, is a huge family. I have so many moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and close friends in this small town.
We all miss ya Char! We really do!

It seems as though we have all survived the craziness that the first week of classes can entail. I have had fun seeing all the new faces on campus as well as the returning students and look forward to the year ahead.

All is well in the office. Orientation week is officially over :(. This means it is back to reality for me and back to recruiting. We have a football game this Thursday against Crookston. I'm pretty pumped! We have some new guys in this year and the team is looking pretty good. I love football season. The weather, the game, the atmosphere...... It just gives me a happy feeling!
Did you see the great article about your quarterback, Hagen, in the Forum on Sunday? It was a really good article about him and his family!
Answer:
Yeah!! Pretty cool! I was happy to see that the Comets got some good coverage in the news. Dustin is a great guy and he totally deserves the fan fare. Dustin has sacrificed a lot for the team this year and it is nice to see him get some acknowledgemnt for that.

New Student Orientation!!!!!!!
I was freaking out about getting everything ready for New Student Orientation, but everything came together!! The Student Orientation Counselors (SOCs)were AMAZING this year! I don't know what I would've done without them. Check out the pics from the New Student Orientation weekend!
The new year, of course, brings a hectic pace to college students, faculty and staff, and coaches of athletic programs. My advice, as an alumnus of Mayville State, former athlete, and current coach of two sports, is to get involved with activities in which you are interested, but make sure you don't overload your schedule. Be sure to set limits, but enjoy the college atmosphere. There is a lot more to do at Mayville State than most students think. For a small college, there is something for nearly everyone.
