​It was fall semester of my sophomore year. My friend (and MAP president at the time) Kris finally convinced me to come a MAP meeting after weeks of persuading. I told him I would give it a try, but I thought it was going to be one of those clubs where I go for one meeting and never show up again. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect since I’ve never been part of a club like MAP, so I was kind of walking in blind. When I got there, the first thing we did was an icebreaker. I don’t remember the exact activity that we did, but I do remember that I liked it a lot. The actual meeting intrigued me as well because I was finally able to see what happens behind the scenes of how MAP events are organized, and I also got insight of other events I probably wouldn’t have known about if I hadn’t attended that meeting. A year and a half later, I have no regrets. I have made some friends and made even more memories, and I have nothing else but MAP to thank for that.

Hey Mustangs!

Last year, MAP did a Mystery Bus trip to the Baltimore Zoo, so this year we decided to continue that tradition. This year's Mystery Bus Trip will be held on Sunday, February 25 and tickets are already sold out! Clues for this trip were posted on the Rockland staircase and also on MAP's social media. If you have not heard or seen the clues, here they are!
The three clues that I have given were...
"Steel and Steed"
"You will be attending a dinner and a tournament."
"You will have a good knight!"

​I hope to see you there and I hope you enjoy the surprise!

​As an anniversary celebration of the opening of Rockland we are hosting Rockland Blowout! Every year MAP has sprinkled new themes to bring a new taste to the marketplace. This years’ theme is Around the World, which means a glimpse of all 200 countries packaged into one. At this years Rockland Blowout we are bringing exotic Hawaiian Belly dance & African step dance lessons. Aside from the Zumba like fun, we also have different cultural catered foods, bingo, crafts and giveaways. To add creativity to the mix, were having a customizable t-shirt station to get a design stamped on, from a select list of choices. As well as customizable street signs, rain sticks, and free cookbooks.  Were also having a challenge for all students to try to make their way through all the activities to receive stamps on their “passports” to receive bubble tea! Come travel the work with MAP!
