Campus Resources

Campus Resources

At Mississippi State University, we believe in getting personal. Known throughout our history as "The People's University," our university provides the academic, leadership, and social opportunities to help each person excel. Your success—in whatever field of study or career goal—is our success. We take that mission seriously.

In staying true to our roots, it seems only fitting that the MSU community offers a variety of resources to help students achieve their potential.  We realize that every student at our university is unique, and our resources on campus reflect this individualized perspective, by offering a variety of resources for whatever the student may need.

While some students may struggle academically and need the help from academic units and advisors, other students may feel a lack of connection with a friend network on campus or involvement.  We hope this guide will serve as an outlet in connecting students to the many resources on campus which will help catapult their college career and lead to meaningful growth and development.

Many of the resources on our campus work collaboratively with other departments to create greater programs and initiatives that have a stronger impacts on our students and community.
