WAYS TO ROLL WITH US IN THE PARADE

- Walk/roll along the float and help hand out stickers!

- Help carry the banner! We are seeking several participants to alternate between carrying a banner and walking along with the float.

- Wear a vintage uniform! We are looking for two students to wear MSU nursing student uniforms from the 1960s. Both uniforms are estimated to be around a size small.

- Showcase our simulation practice on the road!  The focal point of the float will be a hospital bed with a low-fidelity manikin. We are seeking three MSU Nursing students to wear their MSU scrubs and go through simulations throughout the parade while standing on the float.
