We enjoyed food and community bonding during our Welcome Week BBQ on September 14th.
Other Highlights from September:
Our first annual Engagement Day allowed new students the opportunity to take a sneak peak into what life at MSP is like and to meet with representatives from our student organizations. It also served as a great day of community bonding.
In addition to the community BBQ, students were able to participate in vision board making, spend time with therapy dogs, and enjoy an ice cream bar and purchase spirit wear as a part of welcome week.
The ABPsi Student Circle hosted recruitment events complete with cider and donuts.
The Psi Chi chapter at MSP launched their SH+ (Self-Help+) stress management program and hosted a fall mixer.
We celebrated Constitution Day with mini constitutions and cupcakes in the atrium.
