π DAY 2024
Together with undergraduate and graduate volunteers, the MGSA enjoyed this years π-day celebrations under the most beautiful weather! We hosted primary school students from Hampton Education Academy, playing games and trivia to learn all about π. Selling exactly 100 pies, we've set a new record for ourselves- one we hope to beat next year! In all, most can agree that the π trivia is the most fun part of the day. Did you know that π has been memorized to over 100,000 digits? If you missed us this year, mark your calendar for next year for when we celebrate on 3/14/2025!
