MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY annual Donors report FY 2013 & FY 2014 FY 2013 & FY 2014 | 1 annual Donors report FY 2013 & FY 2014 Letter President “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” – Charles Dickens Thank you for your generous contributions to Mississippi Valley State University. We know that there are many other charities and organizations you could have supported financially, yet you chose to support the students at The Valley; and for that we humbly extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your gifts illuminates your commitment to Mississippi Valley State University’s vision to become the educational crown jewel of the Mississippi Delta. Because of you, many of our students are able to get up every morning with a sense of purpose and have a personal drive to accomplish the unthinkable. Your gifts, in some cases, have broken household barriers by allowing some students to become the first ever in their families to matriculate through a university and obtain a higher education degree. This is evidence that your support has the power to help transform the life of a student. Again, thank you for your continued support of our great institution and we look forward to sustaining our relationship with you for years to come. Sincerely, Dr. William Bynum, Jr. President MVSU 7272 • 14000 Hwy. 82 W. • Itta Bena, MS 38941 - 1400 | 662-254-3425 Phone 662-254-6709 Fax | www.mvsu.edu annual Donors report | 4 FY 2013 & FY 2014 | 5 “Changing lives and saving lives” I am glad to have the opportunity to thank you personally for your generosity. Without donors like you, many students would be unable to pursue the career of their dreams. There is no doubt that the need is huge, when it comes to retaining and supporting our students and helping them to become educated and active members of their communities and also helping the economy in the Mississippi Delta and beyond. However, the support of donors like you is helping us to make it possible for our students to lead happier and fruitful lives. Thank you again and we look forward to your continued partnerships with Mississippi Valley State University.

I reached out for some assistance and I was blessed to receive it.” KoRtney hayMoRe Hometown: Itta Bena, MS Major: Environmental Health Classification: Sophomore “The private funds scholarship not only granted me relief to some of the countless financial obstacles, but it also served as an inspiration to me.
