The Mississippi State Welcome Center is the front door to the university. Not only does it assist visitors with questions and directions, but it also provides a centralized location for distribution of MSU and community publications, and we offer customized tours to guests, faculty and staff.

If you have new employees in your department and would like them to be given a personalized, customized tour of campus, our staff would love to show them around. We all strive to find new ways to engage our workers and improve on team building. You might consider a group tour for your entire staff. These tours can also be customized to fit your schedule and interest (general walking tour, historic tour, museum, etc.).

We are now accepting publications from all colleges, student organizations and any other campus entity that would like to display brochures for prospective students and campus visitors. Please drop your items off at the Welcome Center, located next to Barnes & Noble in the Cullis Wade Depot, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The center also offers campus maps. We have redesigned our maps for this year. The map will now be in a 11-inch-by-17-inch format. Each department can request up to 100 maps per semester.

The Welcome Center is here to assist the campus and community in any way it can. It is home to the Cullis and Gladys Wade Clock Museum. The museum houses more than 400 timepieces, some dating back to the 1700s. If you have any questions about the services we offer, or have a specific need you think we might be able to assist you with, feel free to contact us.
