While she is here, she will be majoring in Community Leadership. Cayda is the daughter of Brent and Sonya Dodginghorse.
When asked why she chose Northern he replied “I chose MSU Northern because it is close to home for my family and horses, offering the convenience and support I need. The university provides accommodations for online classes, which allows me to spend the winters in Arizona with my horses. Additionally, the academic program in Community Leadership is a perfect fit for my career goals. The great rodeo coaches at MSU Northern make me feel like family and connected to my Indigenous roots.
