The annual event will showcase student organizations and campus departments and attendees will get a chance to experience the everyday operations of the MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center.
This year, there will be two donation drives, a hygiene drive and an art supplies drive. The hygiene items will be donated to an on campus department that supplies students with hygiene items they may have otherwise not had access to. Similarly, donated art supplies will be used to provide students and teachers with supplies for their classrooms as well as their personal creative endeavors. Please note that donations are not required for entry or to participate in activities at Earth Bash.
