SIUE got a chance to cool off from the blazing summer heat with some ice cold milk Monday.
Students and faculty on campus got their daily servings of calcium with the "Got Milk?" Chief Health Officer tour, searching for a mom to be the new Chief Health Officer and spread awareness of the importance of milk and calcium.
According to "Got Milk?" representative Sarah Lang, the Chief Health Officer will be a mom who was "momenated" by someone who made a 30 second video at a stop on the "Got Milk?" tour.
"The national winner will get her very own milk mustache ad," Lang said.
Students and faculty on campus got a chance to taste a variety of milk products.
"People can sample low fat milk locally processed from Prairie Farms," Lang said. "We have white and chocolate milk on site."
Crowds of people arrived on campus, enjoying the activities the tour offered. People drank milk shakes and took their very own milk mustache pictures.
Senior CMIS Courtney Robinson said she enjoyed having fun while being healthy.
"I love all the free activities," senior CMIS major Courtney Robinson said.
A singing contest was also available, and students could sing about milk and show off their vocal skills.
"Today we have a lot of the students come out here at SIUE and sing about milk and added it to their songs," "Got Milk?" representative Paul Batchelor said. "They took any song they liked to sing and incorporated the word 'milk' into a song and tried to win a 'Got Milk?' t-shirt."
Senior business management major Frank Fisher, who is also an employee for dining services, brought the 'Got Milk?' tour to SIUE.
"This tour is fun for the students and faculty," Fisher said. "It shows awareness for some of the milk products we offer in dining services."
Students also got to sign up for a chance to win $100,000, the Chief Health Officer's salary, which will be raffled off at the end of the tour.
"This tour is only offered in the summer," Fisher said "It shows people the nutrition and value of milk… Plus, which student doesn't want a chance to win $100,000?"
In the end, people got to enjoy the tour and cool off with some cold milk.
"I thought everything out here was great … getting everybody to know about how much calcium you need is always really good to know," Robinson said.
