Community members can help Mississippi State University assist students affected with day-to-day crises or displaced by catastrophic disasters like the most recent hurricanes, according to Jana Berkery, director of Annual Giving for MSU. Support to the MSU Student Relief Fund can make a positive impact on students’ lives at a time when they need it most and benefit them directly.
The MSU Student Relief Fund can keep hope strong for students who hold their dreams of a college education close at a time when everything seems bleak, Berkery expressed. MSU is one critical part of a greater journey as students and their families rebuild their lives following disasters.
To support MSU students that have been affected by recent disasters, like Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma, contributions can be made to the MSU Student Relief Fund at msufoundation.com/studentrelief.
For nearly 140 years, MSU has revolved the service component of its mission around people helping people, Berkery said.
