The tree dedication ceremonies will each feature a brief talk by M State President Carrie Brimhall along with the local community mayor and a local M State alum. A commemorative tree will be planted outside the main building of each campus, and snacks and beverages will be served. The M State-Fergus Falls Tree Dedication Ceremony will be held Thursday, October 5 at 11 a.m. in Legacy Hall (C330A or W600D entrance).

Attendees will be invited to stay afterward for an artist reception that begins at 1 p.m. that day in the Waage Art Gallery, with several local artists whose work is currently featured at the gallery. M State came into being in July 2003 upon a vote of approval by the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, which had previously decided to create the new multicampus two-year college by merging three former Northwest Regional Technical College campuses (in Detroit Lakes, Moorhead and Wadena) with the community college in Fergus Falls.
