Advocats!

It's been a while since I posted — I guess I've had writer's block of sorts. The past couple of weeks my life has consisted mainly of snowboarding, work, and now school...and I have a feeling it's going to stay that way for most of the semester.

But, I decided to tell you about AdvoCats, which is basically the reason I write this blog. AdvoCats is a group of students who work with the Office of Admissions and give campus tours, among other things. We have class once a week for about an hour, in which we learn a lot of cool things about MSU and organize our upcoming events and activities. Anybody can join, although there is an application process. I have really enjoyed being an AdvoCat this year and will probably continue to be one in years to come. The next thing we will be doing is a Phone-A-Thon, in which we will call people who have expressed interest in MSU and answer any questions they may have. So in the next couple weeks, you might get a seemingly random phone call from an MSU student if you have applied to MSU. I remember getting one of these calls as a senior and not knowing what to say, so I'm interested to see how it goes when I'm the person making the call.

As I briefly mentioned, being an AdvoCat has given me the opportunity to write this blog; there are other jobs available in relation to the Office of Admissions that AdvoCats hear about first. So if you like being involved in your school, this is a great way to do it!
