You got a friend in me

Add your new buddies on social so you can meet up again! You can even check out the library while you do it – maybe you’ll run into your pal! (Meet his other friends by following him on Twitter.)

Almost famous?

Get Missouri State famous! See someone filming with a video camera? They’re looking for a star – and it’s you! Get out there and strut your stuff. You may find yourself in a video like –

Hashtag it up

Gotta tell the Twitter world how much you love Missouri State? Yeah you do. Add #GoMaroon and tweet yo’ self. You may start a trend.

Tweet Clif

Remember in “Independence Day” (the first one) when the General tells Bill Pullman, “Mr. President, I’d sure like to know what you’re doing here.” He’s a pilot and belongs in the air! We know! What would your own school president say ? Just ask @ClifSmart on Twitter.

Write the Story (on Snapchat!)
