One of the greatest blessings of working at a small university is the opportunity to build genuine relationships. Colleagues become friends. Co-workers celebrate one another’s successes, support each other through challenges, and come to know not only the people they work with each day, sharing in their aspirations and dreams. For many members of the Mayville State family, that was exactly the experience of knowing Susan Cordahl, a cherished former employee, alumna, colleague, and friend who passed away on July 8, 2026, following a courageous battle with cancer.
Golfers, supporters, and friends of Mayville State University gathered at the Mayville Golf Course on July 10 for the annual Harvey McMullen Memorial Golf Tournament, continuing a longstanding tradition of supporting Comet student athletes.

Proceeds from the four-person scramble hosted by the Comet Athletic Club will benefit Mayville State University’s general athletic scholarship fund, helping provide opportunities for current and future Comet student athletes.
As summer moves along, the excitement for the Fall Semester of 2026 continues to build.

Three sessions have already been held, giving incoming students and their families an opportunity to visit campus, meet faculty and staff, register for classes, and begin building connections with their future classmates.
