Sesquicentennial Celebrations at Minnesota State University Mankato

Minnesota State University Mankato is celebrating the 150th anniversary of its founding as Mankato State Normal School in 1868.

You can visit the 150th anniversary web pages for links to events commemorating the anniversary, historical information and digital resources. The web pages for the university archives also offer an extensive set of digital collections.

Mankato State Normal School became Mankato State College in 1957. The name changed again to Mankato State University in 1975 and then to Minnesota State University, Mankato in 1998.

A sesquicentennial history of the institution written by William E. Lass, a professor emeritus of history, was also released this week, Minnesota State University, Mankato 1868-2018: A Sesquicentennial History.
