MUNdays fun: Day 2

Oct. 24, 2014

Today, Friday, Oct. 24, the second day of the week-long MUNdays celebrations, the fun and games continue!

From Oct. 23-28, a full itinerary of spirit week events and activities will bring students, staff, faculty and alumni together to celebrate the university experience at Memorial’s St. John’s campus, Grenfell Campus and the Marine Institute during MUNdays 2014. 

A full itinerary of events and activities are planned, encouraging students, staff, faculty and alumni to come together and celebrate spirit at Memorial. There will also be lots of weekend events to ensure everyone gets a chance to kick back and enjoy the university experience!

Be sure to follow along in the fun on Memorial’s social media channels and with the #MUNdays2014 hashtag!

Today, Friday, Oct. 24, it’s Kindness Friday, just because it feels good! The location is anywhere and everywhere and the concept is simple: students, staff, faculty, alumni and retirees are invited to show their kindness to and appreciation of one another, the community or the environment. Give a cookie. Donate clothing. Pick up litter. The sky’s the limit!

From 9 a.m.-4 p.m., you can show your kindness to the university community by participating in the campus-wide Kindness Friday initiative, Fill-the-Square! Help fill the basketball court at Paton College with non-perishable food items to benefit the Campus Food Bank. Full bellies make for happy hearts!

And this afternoon and evening, many class and faculty reunions take place. From on-campus locations to some of the capital city’s most inviting pubs and clubs, hundreds of Memorial alumni will gather to reconnect and reflect on their university years together. Visit www.mun.ca/mundays/alumni for all your schedule and ticket needs.

If cheering from the sidelines is more your thing, get out and support the Sea-Hawks men's volleyball teams as they compete against teams from the Quebec Student Sports Network (RSEQ) and the Atlantic University Sport conferences in an interlock tournament to kick off the 2014-15 volleyball season. Games start on at 6 p.m. at the Field House; Memorial takes on the University of Sherbrooke at 8 p.m. Wear your red and support our home team! Visit www.mun.ca/mundays to see the full schedule and for ticket information.

At the Marine Institute, there’s a Breakfast Bazaar, a student social and photo contest. Grab a friend and snap your way around the Marine Institute and St. John's. The team of two students who submits the most and best photos from the photo hunt list will win two $100 prepaid Mastercards!

I Love Grenfell officially kicks off today with  guest speakers and a Parade of Flags representing the cultural diversity of Grenfell's students.  Run, walk or jog-you'll be hard to miss in the new Glow-in-the-Dark Dash, hosted by Grenfell Athletics.  After you cross the finish line, head over to the Backlot to celebrate. 

Be sure to follow along in the fun on the MUNdays Twitter feed @ilovemundays and with the #MUNdays2014 hashtag! You can also check out the MUNdays action on Facebook. There’s also an Instagram photo challenge -- $1,700 is up for grabs!

MUNdays highlights the diversity, ingenuity, excellence, kindness and community spirit that set Memorial apart from all other post-secondary institutions.
