Elizabeth Andrasi '11, the 62nd MSC President and CEO, invites everyone to an event reinstating the MSC traditions of “hats off” and “stay off the grass.” These traditions will be ceremoniously recognized Thursday, April 19 at 5:15pm on the side of the MSC facing Simpson Drill Field. "We will be sharing what these traditions mean to Aggies everywhere and replanting a section of the grass, then walking off of it for the last time," she said.

The structure has grown with the size of the student body, and facility updates brought growing pains through the decades.
