Celebrate Your Birthday With The MSA

  • March 19, 2025

Are you turning another year older this month? We’re inviting students to join The MSA Birthday Celebration at their campus!

Everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday, but finding the time and resources to celebrate with friends can be challenging when you’re busy with class, assignments, and work. You may also live miles or countries away from your family and feel a little blue when your birthday comes.

Consider The MSA your built in besties on campus! We know we could never replace the joy you feel from spending your birthday with loved ones, but we hope to make you smile on your special day.

How to join the party:

Please bring your One Card and a piece of government-issued ID to receive a present and sweet treat. There is a limit of one gift per student.
