MAROON MILE
Leave your mark at Mississippi State.
Students, alumni and friends of Mississippi State University have the opportunity to leave behind a permanent legacy on the university’s historic Drill Field. With your gift to the Senior Gift Fund, the message of your choosing will be inscribed on a brick or paver that will be placed in the Maroon Mile sidewalk located between the Union and Lee Hall.
The most popular choice is to engrave a brick with your name and class year, but other opportunities exist. You could:
- Memorialize a loved one
- Recognize a family member or
- Pay tribute to an influential faculty member
- Personal message of your choice
Parents: Maroon Mile bricks make the perfect gift for your Bulldog. Special discounts are offered to currently enrolled students and recent graduates!

Gifts designated to the Maroon Mile will benefit the Division of Student Affairs, which works to enrich the total MSU experience through student services, organizations and activities. And, as with gifts of any amount, the donation will activate the donor's membership in the MSU alumni Association. There is no better way to create a lasting legacy of your time spent at Mississippi State University.
