There is a unique opportunity this year for MO State Bears to win a noble and prestigious honor. If you are currently enrolled in classes at Missouri State University, you should nominate your family for Bear Family of the Year! Why should you? Well the winning family will receive…
- A plaque to place in your trophy case
- A gift card to the Bookstore to dress your family in the latest BearWear
- Tickets to cheer on the Bears at the Family Weekend football game
- Recognition at the game so that you can bask in the applause of your peers
- Many MOState goodies to continue hailing maroon and white
Convinced yet? I thought so. Go to https://missouristate.collegiatelink.net/form/start/105398 to fill out a quick application! Nominations will be accepted until September 27th, 2016. All you need is your BearPass login and password and examples of why you think your family is BEAR-iffic!
Here is a quick list of BAD reasons to not nominate your family:
- “I’m the only one in my family that goes/went to Missouri State University”
- “I never win anything”
- “This is just my first year at Missouri State”
None of these are good reasons not to fill out the form. The winning family will be chosen based on their Bear Pride, love for maroon and white and will be ones that exemplify the values of what it means to be a Bear!
May the best Bears win!
