Stop by the MSC Fan Zone booth this weekend to get a glimpse of the latest MSC developments.

The Memorial Student Center (MSC) is under construction, but that doesn’t mean you can’t see all the great progress. For a construction update, stop by the Fan Zone before the Stephen F. Austin football game on Sept. 4. Students and staff will be on hand to share information about renovation plans and progress. They will be giving away a limited number of MSC fans to help visitors keep cool during the game. Also, tune in to WTAW 1620 just before the game to hear Dave South do a live radio interview with new MSC President Collin Laden ’10. Not going to the game? You can stream the interview to your computer or smart phone at wtaw.com.

Few places exemplify the dual role of a memorial and a student center as harmoniously as the MSC at Texas A&M University. It’s a cherished memorial that tells the story of Aggies who sacrificed in defense of our country, and it’s simultaneously a bustling student center that creates a strong sense of community.

The MSC renovation is scheduled for completion in 2012. It was dedicated in 1951, when Texas A&M’s student body numbered less than 7,000. Enrollment is now about 49,000, taxing a key MSC mission: to provide outside-the-classroom leadership training to every Aggie wishing to make a difference in campus life. The MSC has 19 committees run by 1,500 student leaders, and meeting rooms were at a premium when the MSC closed for the three-year renovation in August 2009.
