There’s nothing to do…NOT!

December 28, 2015 by Priscilla Childress

Think back on all the times you’ve heard “I’m bored, there’s nothing to do…” I’m sure, like me, more than you can ever  count. It doesn’t matter the age of your children, this is a common anthem. Well, if they say this  about Missouri State, share the following info about upcoming events in the Spring semester. I promise, they won’t be bored IF they make the effort to become involved.  Soar leaders 18181

The following are some events in January during Winter Week 2016 plus other campus traditions (shared by Victoria Culver Rice-  Assistant Director, Student Engagement):
