Collegeville
Collegeville is a Stearns County community west of St. Joseph, home to Saint John's University and Abbey (a Benedictine campus set among woods and lakes) with a base of education, hospitality, and service businesses serving the campus community and surrounding area. Its university setting anchors a distinctive central-Minnesota community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Collegeville area's education-adjacent, hospitality, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
