  • Those who take the initiative to see that various chapter alumni activities, membership drives, and other University projects are successfully carried out.
  • Those who speak positively about Mississippi State and continually promote Mississippi State.
  • Those who encourage prospective students to visit the University and to enroll.
  • Those who do such things because of their love for Mississippi State.

Nominations may be made by any alumnus or chapter and should be submitted to Michael Richardson, Assistant Director for Regional and Volunteer Engagement, by the first of December each year. Nomination forms will be made available each year to all alumni chapters and also can be obtained from the Alumni Office. Nominees must be placed in formal nomination each year. Recipients are recognized at the annual Alumni Awards Banquet.
