Recap

While many students at Michigan State are unaware that the Associated Students of Michigan State University is the group that creates and maintains all the great free services at MSU, most of them use the services, and have opinions about how they could get their name out there more.
Sophomore physics major Jake Evasic said he does laundry all the time in the dorms and really enjoys that it's free this year, however when asked who provided the free laundry for students living in the dorms he said,  " I think it's the University Activities Board."
Blair Pitcairn, a senior majoring in hospitality business had a few ideas as to what ASMSU could do to get their name out there.
Pitcairn said,"It would help going to residence halls, and to have events for the residents that inform them about the services, and the organization.”
Lucas Robbins, a sophomore major added, "I think that ASMSU should give out free tee-shirts, lanyards, and other informational items during Academic Orientation Programs, so that freshman can learn about ASMSU and all the services they offer at the start of college in order to take full advantage of them.”

Michigan State University offers its students a wide variety of free services that when taken advantage of can be very beneficial.
The Associated Students of Michigan State University (ASMSU), which is the student government at Michigan State, coordinates and maintains all of the free services that are offered to all undergraduate tax-paying Michigan State students.
However while these services are very beneficial to students, the problem for ASMSU is that many students are unaware of who creates these services, according to Michael Mozina, the Vice President for Finance & Operations of ASMSU.

Mozina said, “Being realistic I think 70+% of students have at least seen or utilized one of our services, most likely picking up a free newspaper, but as far as how many students are aware of all of our services and know they are offered through ASMSU, I would say the number is a lot lower, closer to 15-20%.”
