"The Spirit Squad has given me the most pure sense of belonging at the university. This program has not only bought me my best friends but also a network of coaching staff and teammates to help me succeed on such a big campus." . . "In the Spirit Squad it is essentially impossible to not learn more about yourself and how to connect with other people. I have learned more about my personal strengths and weaknesses and how to conduct myself in the presence of others according to the given circumstance. I have learned poise under pressure can be applied to nearly every situation life brings you and gives me a sense of confidence that I didn't have before." - Madison . . On Give to the Max Day (Nov. 15), we ask that you consider making a donation to help support our over 100 student-athletes in the Spirit Squad, just like Madison. #umngive
