The Mississippi State University Alumni Association is announcing four new leaders of its student organization known as the Alumni Delegates.
Alumni Delegates officers for this year include:
Madeline Blackburn of New Albany, president, a senior communication major;
Jacob Lindsey of Shannon, vice president of member education, a senior industrial engineering and business administration double major;
Anna Caroline Mormon of Birmingham, Alabama, vice president of public relations, a junior kinesiology major; and
Hayes Henry of Madison, secretary, a sophomore biomedical engineering major.
Founded in 1980, the Alumni Delegates organization serves to help the university and the Alumni Association maintain strong ties with MSU students and the more than 166,000 living graduates of the land-grant institution. The 40-member group is often the first point of contact for graduates, friends and other special campus guests, and assists with tailgate gatherings, class reunions, graduation ring presentations and senior celebrations, among other events.
Over the past seven years, the group has distributed more than $100,000 generated through ticket sales for a semesterly “free tuition drawing” program. Members also created the MSU Alumni Delegates Endowed Scholarship in 2015, which benefits entering freshmen and transfer students.
