Your Montgomery, Alabama MSU Alumni Chapter Needs You!
Your Montgomery Alabama Chapter of the Mississippi State University Alumni Association needs some “True Maroon” volunteers to help build a strong Bulldog presence in the greater Montgomery 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 Gavin King or Janet Downey, Coordinator of Chapter and Volunteer Programs, MSU Alumni Association, jdowney@alumni.msstate.edu or 662.325.8515
How can you help?
- Volunteers for chapter leadership positions – event/activity leads or points of contact, president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, student recruiting, community service, game-watch gatherings, social media, and board members. If you can't commit to a leader position, could you commit to helping with one event or activity?
- Possible engagement activities for 2023 – student recruiting; regular gatherings - happy hour, supper club, Sunday casual gatherings, Saturday coffee meet ups; community service activity, family outings. The possibilities are endless.
- Chapter Goals/Initiatives – engaging all Bulldogs, community service, recruiting students in your area, supporting scholarships to MSU.
