Antonia Yenser, Director of Student Health Services

"Student Health Services takes pride in being there for students who are ill or need their annual checkup. We strive to be as inclusive and accessible as we can for students. Whether they need to see a provider, have lab work done, or use our pharmacy, our staff’s top priority is ensuring students feel like they’re cared for. I love being a part of this team that prioritizes students’ health so they can be successful in their education!

Student Health Services is an accredited, onsite medical clinic with a full-service pharmacy, lab services, and health education--all right on campus. To learn more, visit the Student Health Services website.

"Residential Life provides many exciting opportunities for learning outside of the classroom! I started my career in Higher Education because I am an educator, and I want to help students build community, relationships, and help them prepare for their future. Our amazing staff and students make coming to work everyday exciting, engaging, and provide opportunities for growth and learning."

Jeremy Riesenberg, Interim Director of Orientation and Family Programs

"Being a part of the onboarding process for our new students and their families is a rewarding experience. Seeing our new students show up with nerves and all sorts of questions but then leave their Orientation Day looking excited and confident is the goal of the experience.  Answering questions for families and providing tools to support their students as they start this new chapter of their lives is what keeps me looking forward to each day on campus."

Dedicated to creating success from the start, Orientation and Family Programs will make your time at Minnesota State Mankato extraordinary. Please visit the Orientation and Family Programs website for more information.
