The Reveille, Mississippi State University’s official yearbook, is back for its sophomore effort since making a comeback in 2012 from retirement.
The Reveille, founded in 1898, has been a time capsule for students and alumni since its establishment.
Rhett Hobart, former Student Association president, said he believed The Reveille stood as a great symbol for MSU.
The Reveille took a three-year hiatus, but returned to print last year and Shelby Balius, SA president, said it received a warm welcome from the MSU community.
“We were energized for the response we received as we brought back The Reveille after its three-year hiatus.  It is always encouraging to see the passion our Bulldogs have for such an honored tradition,” she said, via email.
Jen Nguyen, editor in chief of The Reveille said students and alumni alike can anticipate exciting changes in this year’s edition of The Reveille.
“I have a few goals I have set for this book,” she said. “I think our main goal is to make this yearbook more graphically appealing and make it look more modern.”
Nguyen said she hopes this year’s annual features more quotes from students, and students can hope to see more faces.
         The Reveille’s final thematic elements are still in the planning stage, but the staff hopes to finalize its decision soon. 
Balius said she hopes the Bulldog family stays faithful to The Reveille because its support propels The Reveille into the future. 
Nguyen said she hopes The Reveille has the staying power to move up the ranks to secure a place in the elite clubs on campus.
“My vision for it will be that it becomes an elite status, sort of like Alumni Delegates and Roadrunners,” she said.
This year’s edition of The Reveille goes on sale Jan. 22. The cost is $50 for students, alumni and friends. Copies are available for purchase through a student account via Banner, or at reveille.msstate.edu.
Nguyen said The Reveille is currently accepting photos and article ideas from students. Her contact information can be found on The Reveille website.
Anyone interested in joining The Reveille staff can speak with Jen Nguyen in the Campus Activities Office located on the third floor of the Union.
