The Office for Education Abroad encourages you to create the best display at this year’s Expo!
Here are some ideas for creating an original and effective display:
Not only will your creative efforts attract more students to your table, you’ll also be eligible to win a special gift basket filled with a wonderful assortment of gourmet delights from around the world! MSU students, staff members, and/or outside associates (determined by EA) will walk through the expo and judge your display based on how informative, creative, and inviting it is for students. Winners will be announced at 4:30 pm and will be presented with their prize at that time.
Please note that items are not allowed to be taped to the walls of the Breslin Center.
