STARKVILLE, Miss.--A recently created honor by the Division of Student Affairs at Mississippi State will recognize current students who have made significant contributions that improved the quality of university life.
Called the Spirit of State Award, the accolade will be considered the premier student recognition each school year. Winners will be publicly recognized and receive a special customized gift designating their achievement.
"Students will earn the award based on their documented involvement in campus organizations and activities, their service to the university community and the impact they have had on student life at Mississippi State," said William Kibler, vice president for student affairs.
The first "Spirit of State" will be presented April 7 during MSU's Super Bulldog Weekend.
All enrolled students at the freshmen-graduate levels at any of the university's campuses are eligible. Nominations, which must be accompanied by an application and letter(s) of support, should be submitted by March 10 to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, 115 Lee Hall.
Online nomination forms are available at www.saffairs.msstate.edu/spirit.
