It is one of the most exciting and fun times of the year. You can walk around the residence halls and see students and their families moving everything into the building. We have Bear Crew on-hand to help with the move-in. Bear Crew are current faculty, staff and students helping the students move into the residence halls. It’s a beehive of activity and if you don’t have to be on-campus today….I would suggest coming at another time!

There are a lot of activities planned out for the residents to enjoy this week. For a full listing of the events go to: http://www.missouristate.edu/studentengagement/114821.htm Both the Garst and Blair-Shannon Dining Centers are open this weekend so residents can start eating anytime!  The new food vendors in the Plaster Student Union are opening this weekend as well.  For more information on the vendors in the Union, please go to: http://www.dineoncampus.com/missouristate/show.cfm?cmd=_diningBlog&blogID=510 You can feel free to use your BearFare at these locations or you can always use cash at these vendors.

RHA is involved in issues that can touch the 4000 on-campus residents. I have asked this year’s President of RHA, Todd Euglow, to talk to us today. Take it away Todd!

To All Incoming Students,
I am pleased to be able to reach out to you as you take the next step in your educational career. On our campus we have over 300 organizations that encompass almost any interest and walks of life. As the current president of the Residence Hall Association (RHA), I would like to make you aware of several opportunities for you to make a difference and become involved as a student leader in the residence halls of Missouri State. This is especially vital if you are at all interested in being involved with hall government. Each residence hall consists of a hall council, which is the governing body for the building. Being involved with hall council puts you in the forefront for making changes and improvements that benefit the residents in your building. It is very easy to get involved with hall council. As you begin your move-in this August, signs and banners will be posted all over your building informing you of how you can join and begin making a difference. As each building has a governing body, there is a larger organization that enacts policies and changes for the entire on-campus population. This organization is the Residence Hall Association (RHA). As a member of this organization you will be actively involved in gaining leadership experience, planning and implementing campus-wide programs, and acting as the student voice for your building, all while making some new friends in the process. If you would like more information on what RHA does and the role that this organization plays on campus, please visit our website at www.rha.missouristate.edu. No matter what organization you choose, I encourage you to get involved. College is a time to make memories, why not make them with the people who share your same interests and desires. Good luck wit h your transition and I look forward to seeing some of you on move-in day.

Best wishes,
Todd Euglow
President
Residence Hall Association
Missouri State University

All of these questions are legitimate, but they are all easily addressed at Missouri State!  The Spring semester is a GREAT time to start at the University! 

We have plenty of rooms available across campus for you to live in!  You just have to decide which one you are interested in!  Actually the rush to move into the residence halls is not as great during the Spring as it is in the Fall.  Also, the temperature is not as warm during our Spring move-in! :)   You will find our staff eager to greet you and will be there to assist you in your transition to Missouri State.

We are proud of the different class selections we offer at Missouri State!  You will find that we offer a wide range of courses and a variety of modes of delivery for these classes.  Our emphasis on Public Affairs sets Missouri State apart from the rest of the institutions in the State.  We feel that there are many advantages and opportunities Missouri State and our residence halls offer our students!

We think you will find Missouri State a welcoming campus!  We have a wide variety of majors, a diverse student population, excellent educational opportunities and outstanding extracurricular activities! I don’t think you will be bored too often while staying on-campus with us!
