REF NO.: 49

SUBJECT: The energy keeps building during MUNdays

DATE: October 24, 2011

The fun keeps coming and the spirit keeps building as I Love MUNdays continue on ÐÓ°É´«Ã½’s St. John’s campus.
Starting out on Monday, Oct. 24, it’s one of the most anticipated events of the year. The International Bazaar takes place 12-3 p.m. at the University Centre. It’s a celebration of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University’s diversity, complete with delicious international cuisine, music, dancing and crafts.
Then at 3:30 p.m. it’s an I Love MUNdays classic. Our 12 finalists – 10 from St. John’s, one from Grenfell Campus and one from the Marine Institute -- will take to the stage at Rant Like Rick and speak their minds for a shot at bragging rights and a $1,000 top prize. Come out to the Breezeway and cheer on your favourite ranter.
Tuesday, Oct. 25, marks the final day of I Love MUNdays 2011 but don’t fret -- we’re going out with a bang. At 1 p.m., community will be the name of the game. A campus-wide call is going out to everyone -- and that means everyone -- to come out to the Field House and help ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ set a new Guinness World Record. Students, staff and faculty are challenged to be the largest group of people standing on one foot for two minutes. The standing record is 703 people -- 704 is in our sights!
As well, students, staff and faculty will try and set their own record for the greatest distance travelled as a MUN community at the all-day Health Challenge in the Field House. Then, next year’s MUNdays will provide a chance to break it. 
The I Love MUNdays Closing Ceremonies will take place at 2 p.m. in the Field House. Join us to present some of the week’s more prestigious awards.
MUNdays highlights the diversity, ingenuity, excellence, kindness and community spirit that distinguish ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ as one of the best post-secondary institutions in the world.
A full slate of events and activities have been planned, encouraging students, staff, faculty and alumni to come together, celebrate ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ and have an unforgettable time.
