The 2008 ULM PREP Staff placed third in the song category of the skit, song and dance competition at the Southern Regional Orientation Workshop March 7 – 9 at Columbus State University.

PREP staffers (listed below) celebrate their third place win.

A total of 41 schools competed in the overall competition, and ULM beat out 11 other universities in the song category.

Amy Robinson, coordinator of events and marketing for Enrollment Management, said, “It has been several years since ULM placed in this competition and they couldn’t be more excited. They worked extremely hard for this, and our office is very proud of them.”

SROW is an annual conference for the PREP Staff and is an opportunity for them to learn more about the orientation process by networking with orientation leaders from other universities.

The PREP Staff will perform their routine during the Variety Show portion of the four PREP sessions this summer.
