March 2-8, 2009 is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Week and the Student Government Association will be promoting awareness throughout the week. We have decorated our bulletin board in the student lounge with information pertaining to MS. There are fact sheets available to learn more about the illness in addition to information about volunteering with the MS Society, participating in the MS Biking Event, and taking part in the MS Walk with SGA. SGA is also encouraging students to wear orange throughout the week in order to show support for this cause and SGA here on campus. Please check out our bulletin board throughout the month of March.
