Go Red to Get Ahead’ SGPP promotion is Feb. 26 in Winona
The Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs are hosting a “Go Red to Get Ahead” promotional event Thursday, Feb. 26, on the Winona campus.
The event will be an opportunity for information, education and celebration. On that day, attendees will receive a more complete overview of the SGPP and the many educational opportunities SMU currently offers in Minneapolis, Winona, Rochester, Apple Valley, Minnetonka, greater Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The information will be valuable for undergraduate students, faculty and staff, as well as for our alumni and the greater Winona community. Whatever your role with the university you are encouraged to attend one or more of the events scheduled throughout the day.
• Pre- Event Activity: Morning classrooms will receive red balloon bouquets including an attached schedule of events for the day.
• Morning Event: (8 to 10 a.m.) Tables will be set up in key locations across campus offering juice and mini-muffins. Visitors will also be presented with a small give-away and post cards with a brief overview of the day’s events. Sign-up sheets for the raffle will be available at each table.
• Faculty and Staff Information Sessions (9 and 11 a.m., 2 and 3 p.m.) Undergraduate faculty and staff are invited to attend informational sessions on the SGPP in Meyer Conference Room and Salvi Lecture Hall.

Light refreshments and sign-up sheets for the raffle will be available at each session.
• Afternoon Event (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.): Each of the graduate schools (and each individual program within the school) will be represented by faculty and staff in the North Dining Room of the Dining Hall.
