Forty-eight awards were handed out in five categories including Student Employment, Student Leadership, Academic, Student Voted, and Student of the Year.
This event is being organized by UMN Crookston’s Project Management class as a way to bring the community together for a meaningful cause.
The first three events are themed and hosted by a UMN Crookston international student, and the final multicultural show takes its guests on “A Journey through Jazz & Culture” with an array of food and student performances.
Students Clara Hanson, Noah Mahlen, and Anaka Lynse completed a marketing plan for Suckerpunch, a company known for its bold and flavorful pickles as well as other pickle related products.
