Come and join us on September 13th from 5pm-7pm in the Strand Union Rec Center for bowling, pool, and pizza at our first Community Rec Night of the semester! This is a great way to build community with other TRIO Scholars on campus! Guests are welcome as well!

Please utilize her appointment scheduler to set up your first meeting of the semester as soon as you can! She is so excited to meet you all! 

The First-Gen Committee is looking for students to start a first-gen student club on campus! This is a great way to gain leadership skills, build a community on campus, and make new friends! If you are interested, please reach out to Mackenzie or reply to this email for more information.

We have free academic planners for all TRIO students in the TRIO office. If you are in need of a planner, please swing by and pick one up from Mackenzie or Meredith! 

If you are interested in making a difference in your community, consider getting involved with the VOICE Center. The Violence Prevention Workshop is open to all MSU students, faculty, and staff who want to learn how to dismantle and intervene against violence. The workshop occurs on September 18th 12-5pm.
