Mississippi State will recognize outstanding contributions made by our students toward improving student life with the 19th annual Spirit of State Awards.

These premier awards are open to all Mississippi State 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 and make them aware of the award program, and by supporting outstanding students by nominating them.

Students who feel they represent the ideals of this award and 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 before 11:59 p.m. Feb. 22. All applications should be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. Feb. 26.

The awards will be presented at a special recognition program on April 26.

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