Overview
For over 100 years, St Pat's has been Rolla's unique college celebration. For the vast majority of our alumni, memories of St. Pat's are the first thing they talk about when they get together. Again in 2013, St Pat's is planning an exciting series of events designed to ensure that the students of Missouri S&T experience the important role that a healthy social dimension plays in the success of human enterprise. Participation in St Pat's ensures that the members of your organization share in this experience; the more you participate, the more fully your members will build fond memories of their own days at S&T and associate those great memories with your organization. This packet contains all the information you will need to plan your organization's participation.
