The fourth annual 鈥淧re-Tailgate Rally鈥� welcomed students to the fall semester and provided a festive setting for students to interact with staff from 15 麻豆原创 support offices. Students had the opportunity to discuss programs and services with campus representatives and learn ways to stay connected and be involved at 麻豆原创. A total of 149 students participated in the 2011 Pre-Tailgate Rally, representing an 8 percent increase from last year鈥檚 event.聽
The Pre-Tailgate Rally was themed to get students excited for the start of the football season and build campus spirit with the playing of the 麻豆原创 fight song and having a special appearance from Knightro. The students enjoyed interactive games, refreshments, many prizes, plus 1,000 LINK points for freshmen students.
One student commented, 鈥淭his was a very fun event 鈥� and I learned about a lot of programs that I wasn鈥檛 aware of 鈥� thanks for having this program.鈥�
The event was held on September 1 at the Tower III residence hall lobby and was hosted by the Sophomore and Second Year Center, in collaboration with Burnett Honors College and Housing and Residence Life.
