October 1 marked MSP’s Official Name Change Day!
President Fran Brown hosted a community wide gathering in the atrium to mark the occasion.
Students, faculty, and staff watched a promotional video created to feature our new logo and name. Everyone enjoyed fresh donuts and cider!
Student Engagement presented a three part lecture called the 3 Button Brownbag Series to explore and engage with MSP’s three updated Core Values through experiential lectures and individual challenges.
The personal challenges were designed to inspire students to explore the humanistic values that underlie MSP’s Core Values in their own lives.
For each lecture that is attended or challenge that is completed, students received a small button stating the Core Value that they have explored.
MSP welcomed HAVEN to discuss “Creating a Culture of Consent and Accountability” on campus on October 2.
