Welcome and Hello!

Hello everyone.

ESG has kicked off the 2016 Fall semester. We have already participated in multiple volunteer opportunities such as helping freshmen move in in late August as Move-In Crew. Another neat opportunity we had the chance to help out at was helping the Salvation Army South Store in Rochester, Minnesota re-paint some of their walls. Our chapter collaborated with the La Crosse, Wisconsin chapter to put this event on. It was a great experience and everyone had a good time getting to know each chapter better as well as volunteering and helping the Salvation Army out.

Events that are coming up include the Initiation Ceremony, which will be held on Sunday September 25. This semester we have 15 new members! It's a record! ESG is proud to announce that there are currently 30 members for Fall 2016. Another event coming up is our first social which will take place at Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesday the 27. We are excited to get to know one another better and network. Yet another event coming up is our first fundraiser of the semester. It will take place on Wednesday September 28 from 10am to 2pm in the CSU Mall outside. We will be selling baked goods and protein bombs. Please do stop by and help us fundraise! All proceeds will go towards helping students go to the SOPHE conference come spring 2017. We would like to support as many students as possible in going because it is a great way to network with public health officials as well as building professional development. It would be wonderful to have a presence represent the Beta Kappa chapter of MSU.

ESG is excited to work with exceptional students this year. Can't wait to see what the year holds for this chapter!

All the best,

MSU ESG
