Finals Week - Night of 1000 Donuts

Project Description

The main library at MSU is a popular destination for students studying for finals. MSU Libraries staff is creative in finding ways to alleviate stress and encourage breaks during this hectic time for students. One popular event at the main library is Night of 1000 Donuts. The event name is accurate. 1,000 donuts are distributed to appreciative students at a rapid pace.

For this project, the Mid-Michigan Spartans are seeking three volunteers to assist with donut distribution and event clean-up. The project is straight forward. Library staff will have all items in a work area and necessary items like gloves. Two volunteers will assist library staff with wheeling carts throughout the library in search of students. One volunteer will work with library staff members to replenish cart supplies as needed. All three will help clean up at the completion of the event. Donuts go quickly! It is likely all will be done by 9:15 p.m.

Parking at the library is available after 6 p.m., but may be hard to find given finals week.There are options available nearby. The parking lot on the north side of Spartan Stadium (by the IM building and adjacent to The Spartan statue) has a pay-by-plate option. In the past, volunteers have opted to park in their favorite East Lansing lot/garage along Grand River and walk to the Main Library.

Once at the library, volunteers should report to the central reference desk and indicate you are an alumni volunteer for Night of 1000 Donuts.
