October 2007 Marketing Highlights
Welcome to a Marketing Department Homecoming!
By Lindsey Lattimore
Homecoming festivities kick off with the annual 5K run and tailgating at BearFest Village beginning at 8:00 a.m. this coming Saturday. Watch out for the “grand stampede” as the annual Homecoming Parade, Walk on the Wild Side, will make its way down John Q. Hammons Parkway between St. Louis Street and Grand Street starting at 9:00 a.m. Following the parade, Marketing Department Head, Dr. Robin Luke will once again play chef, grilling up tasty treats at Bearfest Village in the COBA tent.
Plaster Stadium opens its gates at noon, so wear your maroon and white, gather your herd, release your inner beast, and holler for MSU football players and fellow Marketing majors, Jacob Duron, Chris Geisz, Andy O’Cheltree, Seth Reichert, Ian Starnes, and Andrew Watts as they, along with their other teammates, take on the Indiana State Sycamores at 1:30 p.m.
Then, stick around for fifth quarter activities and support fellow Marketing students Maggie Brandt and Curt Herzog in their quest to be named Homecoming King and Queen. Last year, Ashley Secoy, a senior Advertising and Promotions major from Shelbina, Missouri, took home the crown.
