ASB hopes to kick off February right

The Associated Student Body at the University of Mississippi is encouraging students to be “good.” For 21 days, at least.
The first major of initiative from the ASB in 2012 will start tomorrow.
The challenge, “21 Days of Good,” is a challenge for students to complete something ASB deputy chief of staff Katie Smith describes as easily doable. The task hopes to foster increased personal interaction among the student body, Smith said.
ASB president Taylor McGraw said he is excited to see the initiative in action.
“We’ve done some cool stuff with ASB this year, but ‘21 Days of Good’ has the potential to be the coolest,” he said. “The challenges should be fun for the students, and we have some great prizes. I really hope a lot of students participate.”
Students who complete the daily challenges will be eligible to win prizes ranging from free t-shirts to Apple products, Smith said. The more challenges a student completes, the better prizes he or she will be entered to win.
The challenges sound simple enough, ranging from introducing yourself to a classmate you’ve never met before or going out of you way to thanking a professor or university employe.
The event will run through the month of February, with the challenges being announced each morning during the week.
Students will be able to find the daily challenges to be “good” on the ASB cabinet’s facebook page, the ASB website, www.olemiss.edu/asb or by following @OleMissASB on Twitter, Smith said.
To be eligible for prizes, visit the ASB Office in Union 404 to pick up a worksheet to fill out regarding your participation in the daily challenges.
“We hope that everyone will join us in doing good for the next 21 days,” Smith said. “You’ll get closer to people, help make Ole Miss an even better place and get a chance to win prizes. Why not (join)?”
