Despite it feeling like it's been 10 years into 2020, we're just about wrapping up April and we're doing it in style with the MBKU Spirit & Student Appreciation Week! Chances are you've got the first day's outfit ready to go. So stop drop and selfie for each day's theme for a chance to win amazing prizes by tagging @wearembku or commenting in the Facebook group, MBKU Students. Rally up your classmates to join in on the fun!
Calling all students, faculty and MBKU community, we're looking for some shining stars to share their talent at MBKU's Virtual Talent Show. Today is the last day for the early bird sign up (enjoy a $10 gift to sweeten the pot), but if you're on the fence about participating, sign-ups are open until Sunday, 4/26! Share your talent whether it be playing an instrument, singing, dancing, or building a fort with all the TP you have at home! Check your Ketchum email for the sign-up and upload link.
Friday mood. TGIF everybody ? ?: @dastickley
