MSC Open House is right around the corner and is open to all Texas A&M students! Getting involved outside of the classroom is an important part of the college experience. MSC Open House brings together over 400 recognized student organizations in one place for you to explore, but this can feel overwhelming if you are looking for the perfect fit. Below we have some tips on how to make the most of your MSC Open House experience!
Have a plan:
Get an idea of what type of organizations you want to join before you head to MSC Open House. A lot of students aim to join one academic related organization and one hobby related organization for a good balance. Review the list of 457 approved student organizations participating in MSC Open House to make a short list of options.
Have fun with the plan:
Make the experience fun and grab a group of friends, roommates, or even your Fish Camp discussion group to go with! You can also explore on your own if you’re more of a solo flyer. Tailor your MSC Open House experience to what works best for you.
Execute the plan:
Arrive early and stay charged! Make sure your phone has full battery life to scan QR codes and take notes. Be prepared with questions you want to ask organizations such as:
How often does the organization meet?
What is the time commitment?
Are there specific requirements for joining?
What is the organizations impact on the campus or community?
Stay hydrated:
As you have probably heard many times, August in Aggieland is hot and humid. While many of the booths at MSC Open House will be inside, there will be others that are stationed outside. Make sure to hydrate before, during and after the event!
