The Ursa Experience, August 13-15, 2018, is a three-day, two-night off-campus adventure immerses our new students in life at Missouri State University. Students build friendships with other new students, learn about Missouri State history and traditions, explore their personal strengths, and discover ways to Make Their Missouri STATEment.
Lauren McDowell, a 2016 Ursa Experience attendee shared, "There is nothing that has influenced my college experience so far as much as the Ursa Experience. From making connections with upperclassmen that help you get involved on campus to making new friends, Ursa has had a long lasting impact on my life as a Bear. I met my two best friends at Ursa. I know more about Missouri State than most people on campus because of the knowledge Ursa gave me of our school’s history and traditions."
This is a testimony to the impact of the Ursa Experience on our incoming first year in college and transfer students admitted to the fall semester directly following the event. The Ursa Experience gives our Bears the confidence they need to start classes and make Missouri State their home.
Your support of the Ursa Experience will provide financial assistance for students that otherwise wouldn't be able to attend this transition program.
*In addition, MSU alumni who make a qualifying gift of $25 or more receive an Active Alumni Member card.
