Mike Hermann's Notes from the Prairie
Dear Prairie Star Nation,The excitement on campus has already reached a new level. This past Saturday, nearly 120 student-athletes returned to launch our fall seasons in volleyball, men's and women's soccer, and men's and women's cross country.After a quiet summer, it's refreshing to feel the energy, passion, and spirit of our student-athletes back on campus. They are an exceptional group, and spending time with them—no matter how long my to-do list in the office may be—is always a highlight.Here are three things that stood out immediately:
