Here at Winona State, you get out what you put into it. If you work hard and put in the effort you will accomplish great things. Also, don’t be afraid to be involved in clubs, leadership roles, and even study groups.

The lake lodge on Lake Park Drive in Winona has campus Wifi! It can be very relaxing to get off campus and string up a hammock by the lake while still remaining productive.

Winona State taught me the perfect balance in terms of prioritizing my free time with my education, friends, and family. This knowledge enabled me to remain productive and proactive.

I will never forget my time here at Winona State University. I’m proud to be graduating from a university where opportunities were all around me and I was given the resources to take advantage of them.

The Ray Houtz Chemistry Scholarship not only helped cover some of my student expenses, but it also was a huge honor and accomplishment to be the recipient. I plan on including the scholarship on my application to dental school and will be expecting a discussion about it during my interviews.
