Welcome SCSU Students, greetings
Welcome to St. Cloud State University and our dynamic Husky family! I am ever energized by our SCSU community, and I am excited for the experiences you will have here and the unique impact each of you will have on this University.
Your journey in St. Cloud stretches far beyond the classroom. While you’re here, you’ll be exposed to new ideas and meet people with experiences, viewpoints and backgrounds that may differ from your own. We hope you embrace the opportunities this presents and view each new engagement and conversation as a way to learn and grow.
We provide a quality recreation experience in a supportive and inclusive environment with safe services, programs, and facilities that are welcoming to all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, spirituality, gender, gender identity/expression, age, sexual orientation, ability, or national origin. In an effort to accommodate all of our members, we provide multiple workout areas and programs to address various skills, ability, and individual comfort levels.
I want to personally wish you a successful academic year. And again, thank you for choosing St. Cloud State University!
