Announcement from MSU VP for Strategic Communications Sid Salter:
“Commencement celebrates the achievements of our Mississippi State University graduates. The university asks that students bring their regalia on their arms or on hangers to line-up. Commencement managers will tell students after they arrive at line-up when to put on their regalia for the ceremony. No signs are allowed inside the Humphrey Coliseum by students or guests. The university urges students and guests to be respectful of others and help keep the spotlight on our Bulldog graduates. Commencement managers, MSU Police and designated security personnel will assist in ensuring a meaningful experience for all in attendance.”
