New Apartment Complex Beginning Planning

Posted on by Jennifer Cox

Residence Life is in the beginning stages of planning a projected 300 bed complex which will be located on Walnut Street behind Kentwood Hall.  This new apartment complex will include new trends in technology and amenities that students expect, incorporate Universal Design, and be a destination on campus.  There will be opportunities for student reaction and feedback as we work on designs for this project.  The new apartments will open in August 2013.

Halloween in the Halls

Posted on by Brittany Dilts

Halloween in the Halls

Once again, that time of the year is approaching us; all the witches and ghosts are going to be invading Missouri State.

The Residence Hall Association, in cooperation with Fraternity and Sorority Life will be sponsoring a safe indoor Halloween experience for the children and grandchildren of all Missouri State faculty, staff, and students. Children aged 2 to 12 are invited to attend.

Halloween in the Halls will take place on Wednesday October 26, 2011 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The last tour will leave the Grand Lounge at 7:00 p.m. The Pumpkin Patch will include check-in, games, and refreshments, and will be held in the Blair-Shannon Grand Lounge. We will continue with having all non-scary floors.

Residents of our buildings have volunteered and will be trained to be tour guides. The guides will be known as Pumpkin Pals and will escort the children through the residence halls.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Angela Strider, Coordinator of Leadership Development and Programming, at 417-836-6591 or email me at AngelaStrider@MissouriState.edu. We appreciate your participation in this event.
