The Bud and Mary Mansfield Parent(s) of the Year Award is presented annually by the Alumni Association during Great Lake State Weekend. LSSU students are invited to submit nominations, and a committee reviews each submission to select the recipients. This year’s Mansfield Parent of the Year Award was presented to Colleen Burton, nominated by her daughter Kaylin Burton, a sophomore majoring in biology with a pre-med concentration. Kaylin nominated her mother because, “My mom has not only inspired me to study at LSSU she also supported both my LSSU Alumni brothers.”

Lake Superior State University Alumni and Friends gathered at Ford Field for the Lions v. Packers game on Sunday, November 6.
