December Newsletter

Dear Friends,

We are reflecting back on 2022 and all the new and exciting changes at 826 MSP. Check out a few highlights from the past year (and 21-22's impact by the numbers) in our latest blog

As we look ahead to 2023, there are many ways you can be involved. 

  • The start of the spring semester means we are in volunteer recruitment mode! Orientations are set for every Friday in January; email Aminah to sign up! 

  • Support young writers and add to your bookshelf this gift-giving season by browsing our Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute store (in person or online). 

  • Make a year-end gift to help us unlock a $10,000 match from the Hawkins Project!

In community,
the 826 MSP crew
