Want to Get Involved?
We’re always looking for passionate Bulldogs to join our volunteer team!
Your Greater Tampa Chapter of the Mississippi State University Alumni Association needs some “True Maroon” volunteers to help build a strong Bulldog presence in and around Tampa and St. Petersburg.
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.
How can you help?
-
Volunteers for leadership opportunities (options) – Finances, Communications/Social Media, Community Service, Social Events, Student Recruiting, Send-Off Party, Young Alumni, Senior/Retired Alumni, Fundraising
-
Possible activities – happy hour, fellowship dinner/supper club, Sunday casual gathering, Saturday coffee meet up, athletic game-watch gathering; community service activity, family outing, Send-off Party for new MSU students, writing note cards to prospective students. The possibilities are endless.
-
Chapter Goals/Initiatives – engaging all Bulldogs, community service, recruiting students in your area, supporting scholarships to MSU.
If you're an alumnus or friend of MSU who lives in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area, based on your mailing address with the MSU Alumni Association, you're automatically a member of this chapter. An annual gift to Mississippi State made through the MSU Foundation makes you an active member of the MSU Alumni Association and the Greater Tampa, Florida Chapter.
Financial support is important to the success of the Greater Tampa, Florida Chapter and can be made through the MSU Foundation.
Advancement Fund
