We’re always looking for passionate Bulldogs to join our volunteer team!
Your Greater Little Rock Chapter of the Mississippi State University Alumni Association needs some “True Maroon” volunteers to help build a strong Bulldog presence in the greater Little Rock area.
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 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 Janet Downey, Coordinator of Volunteer Engagement, MSU Alumni Association, jdowney@alumni.msstate.edu or 662.325.8515.
