Business Reunion at Mayville State University


Yes, a reunion is being planned—the Division of Business and Computer Information Systems of Mayville State University will be sponsoring a reunion for graduates, former students, faculty, staff, and friends.  The reunion is scheduled for Saturday, October 13, 2012, which is also Comet Homecoming weekend. 

The reunion will be held at the KT Hall (former Legion Hall) in Portland from 5 to 8 p.m. immediately following the football game.  The Alumni Association has agreed to organize an evening lunch to complement the cash bar.  We are organizing PBL/DECA memorabilia for display and give away and creating some fun with technology, pictures, and memories.  There will also be door prizes.

YOU are among a select number of graduates and friends that are being sent this email so that you can help us spread the word and encourage “your group of friends” to attend this reunion.  Watch for announcements detailing the reunion and other Mayville State University Homecoming activities.
