Gifts to The Campaign for Mississippi State can be directed to a college, school, department, or other unit of the university; the University Library Collection Development Endowment; or the Staff Recognition and Development Fund, to be used for recognition and development programs for non-faculty employees.

Each donor or group of donors also has the choice of designating a gift for any other program or activity of the university.

All faculty, staff, and administrative donors to The Campaign to Mississippi State will be recognized in one or more ways. The names of all contributors to the library will be listed on a plaque to be placed in the library when the current expansion and renovation is complete, and faculty and staff who give $500 or more will, like other donors, be recognized with a brick inscribed with their name, or that of a loved one, in the Walk of Honor in the central campus.

The five-year campaign seeks commitments of $78 million in support of university priorities. By October last year, friends and supporters had committed $64 million in outright gifts, pledges, and deferred gifts. An update on campaign giving totals is planned for Super Bulldog Weekend.

The University Phase will be completed by early May, said campaign director Richard Bradford.
