​This event is our annual going away party for all our local students who will be attending Mississippi State University as a freshman or a transfer student.  Send-off Parties offer a unique opportunity for alumni and friends to congratulate and welcome new Bulldogs to the maroon and white family. This is also a chance for students to mingle with other local area students who will be attending MSU so that they will know some familiar faces when they get to Starkville.

​

302 W Jackson St, Ridgeland, MS.

​

Cost:  Free for incoming (new) MSU freshmen and transfer students and 2 guest.
