Frances Wheeler Society $100,000 - $499,999
In 1885 State Senator Solomon Comstock introduced a bill to establish a normal school and donated six acres of land for its site. Two years later, construction began. The Moorhead Normal School became the fourth state normal school in Minnesota.
In 1893, Moorhead Normal School built its first dormitory, and Frances Wheeler was named preceptress. President Lord called her “a rare woman, a born genius, a woman whom to know was a privilege and association with her a liberal education in domestic art.” Wheeler Hall later served as the normal school, the teachers college, and the state college until campus expansion necessitated its demise in 1964.

THANK YOU to our generous donors for all your support!
The MSUM Chamber Singers is a volunteer organization created to share music with the Fargo-Moorhead community. This semester, they are specializing in music of the Renaissance Era (1450-1600), specifically focusing on European madrigals in a variety of languages. They primarily travel to local nursing homes throughout the Fargo-Moorhead area to share a cappella music with residents. They often accept local invitations as well, especially to share carols around the winter holidays. Dr. Erynn Millard, Director of Choral Activities, serves as the artistic director for the ensemble, capably assisted by music education majors Erik Hagfors, Cassandra Johnson, Fate Maxon, and Axel Xiong. Singing engagements are coordinated by student Rebecca Hagert. Chase Sawrey Erik Hagfors Rebecca Hagert Rachel Tengwall
