From 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on April 19th, rocking chairs will be set up in the Union. Each rocking chair will be assigned to a participating student group at USM, and their goal is to keep the chair rocking for 12 hours. The day will be full of food an fun- so you can expect a DJ, a few rounds of Twister, Tug-of-War, three legged races, hula hoop contests, dance performances, musical chairs, free pizza and more! There will also be a workshop held by the improv group Stage Monkeys for anyone interested in trying their hand at acting (with a twist!), a blood drive hosted by Mississippi Blood Services, and a silent auction.
To raise money before the event, raffle tickets are being sold by $2 for a Southern Miss football signed by Bret Favre!
TEAAM USM is an Autism advocacy group at Southern Miss committed to educating students about Autism and to promoting the inclusion and acceptance of all individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. We are partnered with TEAAM (Together Enhancing Autism Awareness in Mississippi), a statewide Autism advocacy organization. Together we aim to teach the importance of accepting and including Autistic individuals who, if provided with the proper opportunities, can accomplish amazing things! So come join in the fun, and join in the effort to give a voice to Autism with TEAAM USM!
