Learning, leading, and preparing to make a difference!

Mayville State teacher education majors Arianna Kjorsvik and Eve Galster attended the 2026 National Education Association Aspiring Educators Conference in Denver, where they joined future teachers from across the country to explore advocacy, leadership, and best practices in education.

Through professional development sessions and conversations with fellow aspiring educators, they gained valuable insights on topics ranging from trauma-sensitive classrooms to teacher well-being and student success.

We are proud of Arianna and Eve for representing Mayville State and for their commitment to becoming strong advocates for children, schools, and the teaching profession.

Mayville State students are making a difference in communities across the region!

This fall, sophomore Avery Lessard and 2024 graduate MacKenzie Iverson are leading the elementary music program at Central Valley School in Buxton. Together, they are teaching music lessons that inspire young learners through singing, movement, music games, listening activities, and new musical concepts.

For Avery, the opportunity provides valuable hands-on experience while she balances college coursework, teaching responsibilities, and campus involvement. For MacKenzie, it’s another example of how Mayville State graduates are making an immediate impact in their professions.

Their story reflects what happens when learning and real-world experience come together. At Mayville State, students aren’t waiting until graduation to meet workforce needs. They’re already making a difference.

For Reece Olcott, a love of hunting sparked a journey that led to collegiate competition in both archery and trap shooting at Mayville State.

The Detroit Lakes, Minn., native grew up enjoying the outdoors and wanted to improve his shooting skills for hunting. Today, he’s a dual-sport athlete, archery team captain, and an example of how dedication and consistency can open unexpected doors.

Whether he’s on the range, in the classroom, or outdoors with family and friends, Reece continues to embrace patience, focus, and perseverance, values that have guided him from the beginning.
