Don’t forget to share your creativity! 

We want to showcase your individuality! Stop by The MSA Service Desk on your campus so we can snap a photo of your book bag to share with other students at Mohawk College. Tag us @MSAMohawk on Instagram and Facebook so we can re-share your unique designs.

Please return to this page to check when our next activation is for you to add to your MSA Book Bag.
