Experiential Dining Events

MSU students have the opportunity to use their Combo-X-Changes in an exciting, new way! We've created an abundance of interactive events that students can attend simply by pre-registering and paying with CX swipes!  Register early, as each "experience" has limited spots available.

Please note that a minimum number of participants is required for each event. If the minimum is not reached, the event will be canceled. In the event of cancellation, registrants will be notified, and no charges will be applied to your account. Some events may be updated or changed. Please check back for the latest updates. Thank you for your understanding and support!

ALL EVENTS ARE PRE-PAID. CXS WILL BE SUBTRACTED ON THE MONDAY PRECEDING THE EVENT.
