{im}pacting futures


{im}parting knowledge a message From the Vice President for advancement Dear Southern Miss Family and Friends, As we begin to embark on the next 100 years at The University of Southern Mississippi, we look to a promising future. Although we face the challenge of dealing with an unexpected troubled economy, we embrace the opportunity for growth with the same creative, bold and determined spirit that carried us through our first 100 years. Despite the recent economic downturn, Southern Miss alumni and friends are more committed than ever to giving back to our University. In the past year, the amount of gifts and pledges received increased by 176 percent. Whether you gave a gift of $6 or $6 million, our Southern Miss family is grateful for your commitment to excellence and opportunity in education. As has been our tradition at the USM Foundation, the Annual Report reflects the generosity of our most charitable donors during the past fiscal year. In keeping with our University’s commitment to sustainability, this year’s Annual Report is “going green.” By making our Annual Report available online, the USM Foundation is serving as better stewards of your generosity and helping foster a culture of healthy minds, bodies and campuses. As the University celebrated its 99th birthday at Founders’ Day this past March, President Martha Saunders announced the kick-off of the Centennial Scholarship Endowment Campaign. This campaign will be the cornerstone of increasing the much-needed scholarship dollars for our students. As we continue to build the spirit of generosity, we ask you to consider the opportunity to impact a multitude of students through this campaign. Our Web site to make a gift is www.usmfoundation.com/giving. Thank you for your commitment to our University and for making a difference in the lives of our students, faculty and staff. We will always continue to strive to take Southern Miss…To The Top! Sincerely,

David F. Wolf, Ph.D. Vice President for Advancement and Executive Director of the USM Foundation
