At The University of Southern Mississippi we clearly acknowledge that less than 1 percent of our nation's population has ever served in the Armed Forces, allowing the 99 percent of us to enjoy freedoms too often taken for granted. 近200万 service members (Our Nations Credentials) have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Many of these young men and women are returning in search of homes, jobs and 一个教育. As a result, at Southern Miss we are firmly compelled to meet your post-secondary education needs, and that of your wonderful Family Members.

We want you to be a part of the Southern Miss Golden Eagle experience because we greatly value you, your contributions to our nation’s defense and willingness to pursue a college degree at one of the leading research institutions across the United States 美国.
