Celebrating Black Alumni
Mississippi State's second biennial Black Alumni Weekend featured educational and social events, as well as a semiformal gala to honor African American alumni who are trailblazers in their respective fields. The sold-out event was attended by more than 700 participants and gave Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵalumni and friends of any ethnic background an opportunity to salute the university's heritage of inclusion and diversity.
