Hello!
Today I am pleased to share with you student stories from two of our Minnesota State colleges and universities. They exemplify the vast array of programs and opportunities Minnesota State provides to our students. The first features a student who found her passion for finance while taking PSEO classes and the second is a sociology major who has started a non-profit using different art forms to heal those in her community. Enjoy!

McKenna Aitchison first enrolled at Northland Community and Technical College through the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO)—a program that allows students to earn college credit while still in high school at no cost to them. The flexibility of not having to pay for those credits allowed her the freedom to try some different classes, including finance classes. Now Aitchison is well on her way to a career she had never considered before PSEO.
