ݮƵAlumni Association announces 2022-23 student delegates
Contact: Addie Mayfield
STARKVILLE, Miss.—Fifty-one Mississippi State students are 2022-23 members of the university alumni association’s liaison organization.
Founded in 1980, Alumni Delegates serve as key links between the 144-year-old land-grant institution and its more than 158,000 living graduates. Helping improve the student body’s understanding of the alumni association’s role and purpose also is among the group’s major goals.
Over the decades, these volunteers have assisted with organizational programs and activities, including football tailgate gatherings, class reunions, free in-state tuition drawings, and numerous other on- and off-campus events.
Members are selected each year through a highly competitive interview process. This year’s group, consisting of 21 returning and 30 new members, was chosen from nearly 300 applicants.
