Hello Bulldogs!

Just prior to kickoff at last Saturday night's UMD Football game, our football team joined members of our military and followed the UMD Marching Band through an energized tailgate fueled by the support of Operation One Voice - a group that supports veterans. This incredible energy brought by YOU, THE STUDENTS OF UMD set the tone for the next three hours at Malosky Stadium. In front of a record-breaking crowd of 6,536 fans, and with a boisterous record-setting 2,000+ student section, we beat #3 Minnesota State Mankato 30-10. We can't thank YOU - THE STUDENTS OF UMD enough for supporting the Bulldogs and packing the stands!

We hope to see you as we return home on 25th of September at 6:00 pm. Have a great week and GO DOGS!

There is a lot to think about as we get back to campus and academic life. It may help to focus on just one thing you can actively do to start you year off on the right foot. Check out the Student Success Roadmap and choose one item from your year to focus on in these first couple of weeks.

• First year students: Develop friendships and get involved on campus. Did you see an activity at the activity fair you might be interested in?
• Sophomores: Work on student organizational interests now that you're on campus! Also focus on identifying and choosing you major this year.
• Juniors: You get to dig in and challenge yourself this year. Will you complete an internship, make plans for grad school, or conduct an undergraduate research project?
• Seniors: Finishing strong is important! Seek out ways to round out your area of study, put post-grad plans into place, and reflect on your journey.
