Hello New Bulldogs!  
My name is Garrett Smith, and I am excited to welcome you to campus and to serve as your student body president for this year. I want to start by encouraging you all to take full advantage of the wide variety of opportunities Mississippi State University has to offer. There are countless ways to get involved thanks to our various student organizations, not to mention the incredible avenues MSU has for academic growth. From study abroad to undergraduate research, there are always ways for you to pursue your interests.              
While you take advantage of all that MSU has to offer, do not forget to enjoy your time here. There are plenty of new friends to make, fun events to attend and awesome athletic experiences to take in. MSU provides a comprehensive college experience, and over the next four years you will get the chance to participate in all of the things that make it so incredibly special. Mississippi State University has truly been a blessing to me throughout my three years on campus and my 20 years in Starkville. I am unbelievably thankful for the friends and the moments it has given me. I cannot wait to see what it gives you all! 
Hail State!
