We are so excited to announce our first annual Night of the Dragons, combining two great MSUM traditions – the Athletics Hall of Fame and the Distinguished Alumni Celebration - for one special night celebrating the achievements of our Hall of Fame and Distinguished Alumni award recipients. This joint event allows all of our Dragon friends to celebrate with one another in one place, at one time. We hope you will join us for this time of fellowship and celebration.
