Mississippi State will recognize outstanding contributions made by students toward improving student life with the 18th-annual Spirit of State Awards on April 21.

These premier awards are open to all MSU students from all campuses and recognize excellence in campus involvement; service to the university community; actions that promote the Spirit of State; and overall impact on peers and the broader campus community.

We need your help to identify students who embody the Spirit of State, make them aware of the award program and nominate them.

Students who feel they represent the ideals of this award or those who wish to nominate a deserving student may complete the appropriate forms at www.saffairs.msstate.edu/spirit.

All nominations should be submitted online by Thursday, Feb. 23, before 11:59 p.m.

All applications should be submitted online by Tuesday, Feb. 28, before 11:59 p.m.

Thanks for your help in identifying and supporting outstanding students who embody the Spirit of State.
