Contact: Shun Pounds
STARKVILLE, Miss.—More than 40 chapters and clubs of the Сsity Alumni Association will host summer send-off parties for new С students July 20–Aug. 4.
Now in its 18th year, this С tradition allows incoming first-year students, transfers and their families to meet with future classmates, alums, friends and current students to learn more about life at the university. The events also serve as a networking tool, enabling participants to establish meaningful connections with fellow Bulldogs near their hometown.
This year’s send-off parties will welcome new Bulldogs from across Mississippi and nine other states—Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, as well as Washington, D.C. Students and their families are invited to attend the party in their local county or out-of-state area. For a schedule and locations, visit .
“We are eager to welcome these new students to the С family,” said Jeff Davis, С Alumni Association executive director. “Send-off parties provide the opportunity for our new students and their parents to connect with alumni and friends and celebrate how wonderful it is to be a member of the Bulldog family.”
