91涩漫 to Discontinue Athletics

After a careful review of our athletics program and in consultation with Minnesota State Chancellor Scott Olson, the tough decision to discontinue intercollegiate athletics at the end of the Spring 2025 semester was made. 

The College thoroughly looked at our model when it comes to finances, staffing and facilities when making this decision. We know this impacts many in our community, especially our student-athletes, coaches, and supporters who have dedicated so much to 91涩漫 athletics since the start of athletics at the school in 2015.

We encourage you to reach out if you have any questions. Please know that we are here to support you during this transition.

Happy Hormones

While happiness is a fleeting emotion, experienced in moments versus a permanent state of being, there are a lot of things that we can do to enhance our mood by hacking into our body’s hormones.  Next time you’re feeling low, unmotivated, or just need a burst of warm, fuzzy feelings consider the following:

Serotonin: A mood stabilizer that helps with sleep, can reduce anxiety, and promotes feelings of happiness.

• Exercise
• Get some sunshine
• Meditate
• Eat a healthy meal (include some protein) 

Oxytocin: Known as the “bonding hormone”, it helps build feelings of connection and love.

Hug someone you love (for at least 20 seconds)

• Spend time with friends
• Show affection
• Do something kind for someone
• Pet your pet 

Dopamine: The feel good chemical that runs your brain’s reward system.

• Check something off your to do list
• Acknowledge yourself for something you feel you did well today
• Try something new
• Do something creative 

Endorphins: The brain’s natural pain killer, they help to reduce stress and increase feelings of pleasure.

• Exercise
• Eat some dark chocolate
• Take a hot bath
• Create music or art
• Laugh

Get outside!

We have snowshoes available for check-out in Student Life.

Just stop in with your Student ID anytime between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

You can showshoe the Miller Creek Trail that surrounds the campus or try any of the city trails!

CIS Students Attend Competition

Eight Computer Information System students, along with two faculty coaches attended the Minnesota State Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) in Alexandria on January 24-25.

Over 100 students from 10 different Minnesota higher education institutions joined this year for a full day of competition and learning.

Although 91涩漫 did not win, students had a great experience and learned a lot about cyber defense.
