Makayla Taylor and Nate Schmidt
"I discovered Stony Point with my boyfriend, Nate," says Makayla. "We were making our way back to Duluth, but we did one last stop to see what Stony Point, a new place for us, was all about. We saw the cool shack and I really loved the old weathered look. It's a really beautiful spot that gives me a lot of inspiration and allows me to be close to Lake Superior, which is something I always treasure.”

Audrey Schmidt and Lisa Roragen
"Leif Erikson Park is right down the hill from me. There’s lots to do, from watching ships to looking for agates at the beach," says Audrey Schmidt. “The shore of Lake Superior is unique. The trees grow into unusual shapes because of the wind," says Lisa Roragen. Both Audrey and Lisa are seniors in the civil engineering program.

Heidi Wedel
Heidi is from Savage, Minnesota, and is a criminology major. She expects to graduate in spring 2021. "I visited Duluth when I was eight and that was the driving factor for why I chose UMD. I fell in love with the historic city and kept wanting to come back. Whenever I am stressed, I go to Glensheen. It’s my safe place where I can appreciate the beauty of Lake Superior. My favorite pastime is to hunt for sea glass on the shore. Glensheen has fun options for everyone. You don’t hear a lot of stories about college kids hanging out at historical mansions, but you do find that in Duluth." says Heidi.
