Your South Texas MSU Alumni Chapter Needs You!
Your South Texas Chapter of the Mississippi State University Alumni Association needs some “True Maroon” volunteers to help build a strong Bulldog presence in the greater Austin and San Antonio areas.
So, what exactly is a chapter’s role with the MSU Alumni Association?
Basically, a chapter becomes "Mississippi State" in its community. The interest you stimulate, the service you provide, and the information you collect and disseminate helps the university, the community and the chapter members. Not only are you keeping your local alumni and Bulldog friends connected and engaged through communication, activities and events, you are recruiting prospective students.
The MSU Alumni Association is working to establish an organized and enthusiastic connection for our alumni, friends, and students. If you are interested in learning how you can help spread the Maroon and White, share your ideas, learn more about the chapter, volunteer for service, or just show your support, please contact John, or Janet Downey, Coordinator of Volunteer Engagement, MSU Alumni Association, at jdowney@alumni.msstate.edu or 662.325.8515.
How can you help?
- Volunteers for chapter leadership positions – vice president Austin, vice president San Antonio, secretary, treasurer, student recruiting chair, social events chair, social media chair, and board members.
- Possible activities for 2022 & 2023 – student recruiting, 2023 Send-off Party, regular board meetings, community service activity, annual chapter meeting, family outings. The possibilities are endless.
- Chapter Goals/Initiatives – engage all Bulldogs to keep connected to MSU, have a presence in the community through service and outreach, and recruit students in your area.
