The annual University of Minnesota, Crookston Arizona Social was held Friday, February 18, 2011, at the Terrace Green at ViewPoint Resort in Mesa, Ariz. The 2011 social was again a success with more than 90 alumni, friends, and supporters in attendance. Alumni from both the U of M, Crookston and its predecessor, the Northwest School of Agriculture, gathered for the time together.

The social was hosted by Corby Kemmer, director of Development & Alumni Relations with greetings from Chancellor Charles H. Casey and Barbara Muesing.

"This was great event, my thanks to the fabulous staff at the Terrace Green at ViewPoint Resort in Mesa," Kemmer says. " I would like to extend a special thank you to Lorriane Love from the Class of 1954 for her support. We look forward to another successful Arizona Social in 2012 and strongly encourage all alumni and friends to attend".
