The Mississippi State University deans’ and president’s lists are now available online at www.msstate.edu/students/lists/. The university publishes deans’ and president’s lists for each spring and fall semester for the convenience of the media, friends and family members.
Users can select the list, term and year they would like to view. Data can be further filtered by state of residence, and home county. The list also may be sorted by city by clicking on the city/state heading.
