McMurry Student Government (MSG) led the charge in restoring campus beauty on the evening of Monday, October 13th, with a post-Homecoming cleanup that brought together members from across the McMurry community. Members started at Bishop\u2019s Hall and rallied students from nearly every Greek organization on campus to take part in a large-scale trash pickup, snaking through campus systematically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cleanup aimed to beautify the university following the week\u2019s Homecoming festivities while fostering collaboration between MSG and Greek Life. Students met at Bishop\u2019s Hall for a group photo and to get supplies before splitting into teams that covered routes circling the dorms, the stadium, the Quad, apartments, library, club monuments, and other key points. Each team gathered bags of litter and debris, working their way back to Bishop\u2019s by the end of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was really proud to see so many groups show up and work together,\u201d said MSG Vice President and event coordinator, Isabella Trevino. \u201cIt\u2019s a great reminder that when our campus comes together, we can make a visible difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students worked side by side, laughing and chit-chatting while collecting stray cups, wrappers, and other oddities and garbage from parking lots and in the grass likely left from Homecoming celebrations. The project is part of MSG\u2019s ongoing mission to increase student engagement and improve campus. MSG members are already discussing making the cleanup a recurring event in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvents like this show that MSG cares about the campus and the people on it,\u201d Trevino added. \u201cA clean and welcoming campus says a lot about who we are as a community. It\u2019s something we can all take pride in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event wrapped up at Bishop\u2019s Hall with another group photo, a few laughs, and a rousing sense of accomplishment. As MSG looks toward future semesters, students can expect more opportunities to get involved in service projects that help keep McMurry University looking its best.
