Get Involved
Southern Miss students are given the power to make a difference. Students proudly uphold the challenge that greets them on their first week on campus: to leave the university better than when they found it. With more than 250 student-run organizations, it is easy to find your niche. Check out just a few:
Eagle Connection
Eagle Connection is the official student recruitment team for Southern Miss. This group of students travel around the southeastern region to recruit prospective students to Southern Miss. Eagle Connection members are well-versed on admission requirements, scholarship information, and general university facts. In many ways, Eagle Connection members are the face of the university because they enable prospective students to form their first impressions of Southern Miss.
