“It’s an honor to welcome students, new and returning, back to our community as they further their education,” said St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis. “To the students – I invite you to engage, be active, and enjoy everything St. Cloud has to offer. Best of Luck for a successful school year!”
Rasmussen College, The College of St. Scholastica, the College of St. Benedict, St. John’s University, St. Cloud Technical & Community College and St. Cloud State University are all preparing events to welcome students back to their communities this August and September.
In addition to the excitement, new life and traditions these students bring to the region, they also bring a more than $755 million economic impact on the region — from students living, studying and working in the region to graduates who go on to fill necessary positions in the St. Cloud area workforce.
