Study Abroad Fair, Virtual Reality, and 1st Project

Student and Community's Guide to Events and Opportunities | March 25, 2019

Greetings!

Welcome back Bobcats! With spring break behind us, it's time to get back on the ball. This week might serve as an adjustment period, but don't let that stress you out. Make a plan to finish the semester strong. Remember, there's only 37 days of class left - so be persistent. Seniors, how many are counting down to graduation?

With over 40 events happening this week, be sure to grab your friends, have some fun and relax after hitting the books. It's all about work-life balance.

We appreciate your responses on our last poll and have determined that more students would like to take a trip to New York City. This week, be sure to take our poll about spring break!

Brianna Ralston and Demetrick McDonald Jr. along with 10 other Frostburg State students spent their Spring Break rebuilding Hurricane Harvey-damaged homes.

FSU staffers Ashley Daniels and Jackie Buczkowski served alongside the students.
