To celebrate the campus-wide kickoff of this new social networking technology, on Jan. 28 the university is sponsoring “Foursquare Friday,” a daylong event in which students earning the coveted Foursqare collegiate badges will qualify for special prizes, including merchandise from the Texas A&M MSC Bookstore, licensed collegiate apparel from Adidas and gift cards from the Texas A&M Department of University Dining.
The Jan. 28 events culminates a special three-day campus-wide Social Media Scavenger Hunt, which on Jan. 25, 26 and 28, will integrate messages from Texas A&M’s Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare accounts to provide clues to participating hunters.
Also, beginning Jan. 25, the MSC Bookstore will offer 15% off any regular priced logo merchandise in store to any student who shows that they have “checked in” to the store on Foursquare.
