Plaster Student Union & Missouri State Info and Events
This last weekend was family weekend at Missouri State, which meant all sorts of events and things to see. Between the Showcase on Friday, the football game on Saturday, and 20% off BearWear all weekend – you can’t go wrong! Below are tweets from Missouri State students and family about the weekend.
Welcome back and for the first time fellow Missouri Stater’s. If you were around campus over the weekend you got to participate in some great events, and you let us know. Who better to recap everything that went on than you? Let’s check the tweets!
Everything started with move-in weekend. Transforming campus from it’s summer slumber to a bustling campus.
Once all the new and returning students were settled in they wasted no time getting involved on campus.
And that was only Friday. Opening weekend continued Saturday with the annual favorite Bear Bash. Click through to see what else you had to say. [Read more…] about Takin’ it to the Tweets – Opening Weekend In Your Words

Asian Food Festival – Tuesday you missed a chance to try some delicious Pacific Islander cuisine at the Asian Food Festival.
Back to Kindergarten – In preparation for the onslaught of finals week, SAC took you back to a simpler time of juice boxes and naps at the SAC After Hours: Back to Kindergarten night. The event featured relaxing arts and crafts like you used to make back in the day.
Movie Night – If you needed a break from studying for finals on Friday night, SAC presented you with the chance to catch The Social Network for free in the PSU.
Beartones 10 Year Anniversary Concert – The week wrapped up with the Beartones putting on their 10 Year Anniversary Concert in the PSU Theater in a show that featured some of the finest collegiate a cappella.
Paw Prints Grand Opening – All last week, Paw Prints, the Union’s new bookstore was celebrating its grand opening with book signings and prize drawings. Of course you can still come by and check out Paw Prints this week. You just won’t have the chance to win a digital camera this time.

Ride With the Devil – The Springfield-Greene County Public Libraries held a screening of Ang Lee’s Ride With the Devil in the PSU on Monday night. If you missed it or feel like you need a little more Civil War action then come by the Electronic Arts Showcase on May 9th for South of Black Drink Crier, a short film produced as a senior thesis project for a group of EA students.

No Strings Attached – Is it just me or has Natalie Portman been in everything over the past few months? If you missed your chance at catching her alongside Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached fret not; the movie comes out on DVD & Blu-Ray May 10th. So come by Bearhouse Entertainment and pick up a copy a week from Tuesday.
Through the Lens: Discovering Diverse Photographic Visions – Last week was your final chance to take a look at some of the artwork created by advanced photography students in the PSU gallery.
Texas Hold’em – Finally, last Thursday in the PSU food court SAC After Hours held a Texas Hold’em tournament. Fun and great prizes were up for grabs. For a full list of SAC’s future events check out their calendar.

Last week turned out to be a fairly slow week at the Union with Spring Holiday sending many students home for the long weekend. Of course a slow week by Union standards still provides with plenty of great events.
Renaissance Fair – If you came by the PSU on Tuesday you may have noticed many lords and ladies dressed in their finest Renaissance era attire. The English society held a Renaissance Fair in the PSU with everything from Ye Olde Booke Shoppe to Mistress Katherine’s Homemade Sweets. Of course what Renaissance Fair is complete without turkey legs? They had those too.
Lunch Time Concert – Even with the short week SAC still managed to plan a great event for students in the PSU. On Tuesday SAC had a lunch time concert in the PSU Food Court from 12 – 1 PM.
Bears Baseball – Hopefully you took last weeks Previews advice and checked out the Bears baseball on Friday. If you did you got to see the Bears thrash Indiana State 14-2 behind 7 RBI’s from Brock Chaffin. Check out the recap here.
Spring Holiday – Ok, so you probably didn’t technically miss Spring Holiday since you had the days off. Hopefully you caught up on your rest because finals are only two weeks away!
