Office of Development

WHAT WE DO

Our Office does the essential work of raising the money that keeps the University of Mississippi thriving. We do this by cultivating relationships with alumni and friends who give back to the schools, colleges, and programs that are most meaningful to them. We love working with donors to grow an institution that becomes stronger with support.

Building a Stronger University

At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful commitment: to strengthen the Flagship through a true culture of philanthropy that transforms lives. Everything we do is guided by core values that shape how we serve, how we collaborate, and how we build lasting relationships with our donors and with one another. Our mission, vision, and values reflect who we are and the impact we strive to make every day.
