The Southern Miss Alumni Association is joining Southern Miss Athletics to host its annual Summer Road Tour, a three-city celebration designed to bring Golden Eagles together ahead of football season.
Set to begin July 15 with stops in Mandeville, Gulfport and Madison, the tour will feature a night of opportunity to network with Southern Miss fans from across the Southeast and hear from University officials who will share updates for the fall.
“We look forward to hitting the road each summer to bring Southern Miss to the fans,” said Alumni Association Executive Director Tucker Sappington. “Along with Southern Miss Athletics, several University and campus units like Career Services and the Campus Bookstore will be in attendance.”
Each event will feature heavy appetizers, cash bar, door prizes, opportunities to connect with Southern Miss alumni and more.
