The Delta State University Alumni Association recently sponsored a Welcome Back Cookout with the university\u2019s intramural program. Free pizza and Nehi products were provided to attendees.<\/p>\n
Kirk Mansell, director of intramurals, presented trophies to last year\u2019s intramural champions \u2014 Delta Delta Delta sorority and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey Farris, director of Alumni Affairs, announced the recently established partnership between the association and intramurals, which is the development of the National Alumni Association Intramural Sports Champions Trophy. The trophy will be displayed on campus and will feature all previous intramural sports champions on record.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to the partnership between the Alumni Association and the intramurals program,\u201d said Mansell. \u201cAs an alumnus of Delta State, I\u2019m excited about the establishment of this trophy. I hope when these students are alumni they will reminisce on their time with Delta State intramurals.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Farris, the initiative is part of the \u201cStudent Engagement\u201d aspect of the Association\u2019s strategic plan. In addition to the partnership with intramurals, the association\u00a0also sends out the alumni magazine and the monthly e-newsletter to the student body. It also purchases a Delta State car tag advertisement in the back of the Delta Statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are ways to educate the students about the Alumni Association, so that when they graduate they will be more knowledgeable about the association,\u201d said Farris.<\/p>\n
Other Delta State staff members in attendance at\u00a0the event were: Keith Fulcher, executive director of the Alumni-Foundation; Davlon Miller, director of Career Services; and intramurals staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
