Mitzi Bass Quote

Everyone should register for camp because why not!!! Camp allows you to get adjusted to campus while also meeting other scholars you will see around campus. Camp is one of the first sense of belongings at MSU for a lot of people. Camp also helps you gain insight on your first year at MSU. #GODAWGS“

Kelan Traylor Quote

NMC is a great camp that brings everyone together that is attending MSU. I was scared to attend as a transfer but being on the counselor side shows how much I missed out on. NMC is more than just a camp it is the bonding to create a faMily. I know as transfers it feels like this doesn’t mean anything but the experience you gain is impeccable!

Sergio Garcia Quote

I'll always owe a debt of gratitude to New Maroon Camp for giving me friends who feel like family. Each day at camp was an opportunity for me to meet and create connections with students from all over. One person in particular, I met randomly at Perry waiting for food and now he is my best friend and roommate for next year.

Grace Holland Quote

i came to Mississippi state knowing approximately four people and this terrified me, but i was ready for a fresh start in a brand new place. multiple people had convinced me to sign up for new maroon camp, so i did! this was truly the best choice i ever made as a incoming freshman. i didn’t necessarily meet my best friends on the first day, but i continued to put myself out there day in and day out.

Brett Bomar Quote

As an out of state student not knowing many people, registering for New Maroon Camp was one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did I meet lifelong friends, but I was also lead to many other amazing organizations on campus. I will say, it’s not easy. Even after the first day of camp I was completely overwhelmed. But thankfully, I went back on that second day of camp and I began to find my people and my place here at MSU.

Ashya Richardson Quote

For New Maroon Camp this year, I look forward to giving campers what my counselors gave me. I want to become a mentor, friend, and support system for upcoming freshman. For me, having counselors and friends to uplift me and encourage me during that first week of school is what made my first moments at Mississippi State so enjoyable.

Domenic DiStefano Quote

That week full of excitement, stomach butterflies, and memories that you'll keep close many years after college graduation. But the thing that I treasure and feel is most valuable about New Maroon Camp is the once in a lifetime opportunity to just BEGIN.

NMC is special to me because it’s such a safe and fun environment to form friends. Although the camp is only a week long, I was able to form long lasting relationships with those who also attended.

John William Ables Quote

New Maroon Camp is special because in a sense, it never ends. Camps of all kinds can be enjoyed for a week or a matter of days, but the bonds formed in NMC remain with campers throughout their college careers.
