A committee to plan activities commemorating the university's 125th anniversary is now at work.
Rather than focusing on a single event, initial plans call for the university to incorporate recognition of the institution's 125 years of leadership and service in a variety of programs and activities throughout 2003.
The planning effort chaired by Dennis Prescott, vice president for external affairs, includes faculty, student, staff, alumni, and community representatives.
An anniversary Web site at msuinfo.ur.msstate.edu/125th/ provides more information and downloadable images of a 125th anniversary logo that may be used for Web and printed publications.
Gov. John M. Stone signed the legislation establishing Mississippi A&M College on February 28, 1878.
