Dear Editor,

As  president of the student body,  few events excite me like Homecoming. Homecoming is a unique opportunity for alumni, current students and future students to join together on these hallowed grounds as one Bulldog Family. Likewise, Homecoming gives our family a moment to reflect on our history, while simultaneously building on our university’s rich the tradition of excellence.

For our Alumni, Homecoming provides a chance to return to Mississippi State. For many, these acres are the place where they became the men and women they are today. Here, they chartered their career paths, made lifelong friends, met their spouses, and captured lasting memories. This weekend provides an opportunity to reignite those memories, and share those memories with their posterity.

For our students, this is yet another opportunity for us to rekindle our love and affection for our institution. This week of activities serve as exuberating reminders of why we chose this place, and why we will forever cherish it. I challenge each of my fellow students to join me in absorbing all that Homecoming has to offer. As our alumni join us on campus, it is incumbent upon we as students to continue to carry the torch that they left with us in a manner that is indicative of our gratitude, and our love for this institution.

With so many of the festivities of Homecoming behind us, I am proud of how we displayed solidarity and resolve. The Bulldog Spirit is alive and well on our campus, and it has been my pleasure to journey through this week with you. I hope that you enjoy tomorrow’s game and enjoy a safe and Happy Homecoming.

Yours in Maroon and White,

JoJo
