MSU Finals Countdown Event Prep

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 the Countdown to Finals event featuring cames, stress releaving activities and refreshments. This project takes place two days prior to the event and assists with packaging goodie bags and basic event prep.

For this project, the Mid-Michigan Spartans are seeking two volunteers to help library staff prep for the event by setting up the event space with snacks and activities. It will take approximately two hours. There is a separate sign-up to help with the actual event on the following Sunday if it interests you.

Parking at the library is hard to find during finals week. For afternoon shifts, parking around the library is reserved for employees. 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. At night, the path from the rear library door, over the bridge and into that parking lot is well lit. In the past, volunteers have opted to park in their favorite East Lansing lot/garage along Grand River and walk to the Main Library.

Volunteers for this project should report to the main circulation desk on the first floor and tell the employee you are an alumni volunteer for the Countdown to Finals prep.
