Throughout the weekend, the students continued to mention advice that they'd heard earlier from the alumni. Thank you Mike and Derek for participating!

Participate right now! Living With Student Debt Campaign
The Alumni Association is collecting information from MSUSA Alumni about how their student debt has affected them since they've graduated (for example: they can't buy houses or cars, have to take second jobs, can't pay bills, etc.). This information will be used during the next legislative session to show our legislatures how important it is to fund our state universities so that graduates can contribute to the economy after school. This information will also give our students insight into what to actually expect once they graduate. You can participate right now by clicking here and filling out the survey. Thanks!
