STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State officials are inviting members of the campus and surrounding communities, along with visiting alumni and friends of the university, to attend Saturday’s [Sept. 19] dedication of the new Union Plaza.
The 11 a.m. program takes place outside the rear entrance of Colvard Student Union. Refreshments will be served.
The ceremony precedes MSU’s second 2015 home football game at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. The Bulldogs and Demons of Louisiana’s Northwestern State University kick off at 3 p.m.
Located between Colvard Student Union and McCool Hall, the outdoor gathering area includes seating and tables for dining, studying, visiting and other social activities. Surrounding grounds also feature new landscaping.
In addition to President Mark E. Keenum, program speakers will include JoJo Dodd, current Student Association president; and Brett Harris and Chance Dye, last year’s SA president and treasurer, respectively.
Adjoining the historic Drill Field, the gathering place was made possible through support of MSU’s 2015 graduating class, along with members of the SA, Alumni Delegates, Interfraternity Council, Music Maker Productions, National Panhellenic Council and Residence Hall Association.
Support also was provided by Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi sororities, and Kappa Sigma and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternities.
