MSU Friday!

I totally forgot to tell you about MSU Friday! Last Friday, we hosted the second MSU Friday of the year. Even though several people cancelled because of the weather, our final number was 642 prospective students! The last one of the year will be on March 4th, and it is supposed to be our biggest one yet!
If you haven't been to an MSU Friday, it is quite the experience! The day starts off with about 40 campus tours (5 leave every 5 minutes) followed by a welcoming ceremony and sample classes. Lunch is held in the ballrooms where tons of clubs, groups, fraternities and sororities, etc. set up little booths for you to see and get information. Then more sample classes and campus tours, residence hall tours, fitness center tours, greek house tours, and student and parent panels. Basically, it is a full day.
Why does this apply to me? Well, as an Advocat, part of what we do is help run the MSU Friday events. We get there at 7 in the morning to help decorate and greet, and stay all day until 5. The picture is my cousin Britta, Roommate Liz, and me at lunch representing our Advocats shirts and looking a little worn out!
It was a great turn out even with half of the airports in the country closed!
