About Us
MVSU V Club Initiatives
Working in full coordination with MVSU (Mississippi Valley State University) Development Staff and MVSU Athletics, the MVSU V Club Top Four (4) Initiatives are:
Fully Funding Scholarships for Athletics
- Eventually operating at 2.5 million (annually)
- Providing MVSU Athletics the ability to offer more scholarships (in all sports). In return, closing the competitive gap by adding depth and balance to each roster.
- Assisting in the process of positioning MVSU Football to play Power Five (5) and/or Group of Five (5) opponents in non-conference play. (Theoretically increasing the budget for athletics by 50%)
- Stimulating MVSU Athletics financial investment into our student-athletes. (Recruiting, academic support, Title IX compliance, Pell Grant refunds (for those that qualify), cost of attendance stipends, etc.)
- Offsetting the athletics department expense(s) to retain and/or recruit quality coaches and/or staff.
All-Inclusive Style Campus Engagement
- Encouraging and incentivizing all areas and departments on campus to have a role in athletics. (Saluting non-athletic university achievements and accolades during breaks at athletic events. This may be the only instance that an individual and/or department has a chance to have their (individual and/or department) achievements acknowledged in front of a large group of spectators.
- Fostering relationships with each department on campus and acknowledging how each department can contribute and share. Including but, not limited to all the possibilities listed. (Broadcasting majors can build a portfolio assisting in the production of video streaming and radio services; Art majors can develop graphic for website and videoboard display; Criminal Justice majors can learn the dynamics of event management and safety compliance; Math majors can provide real time statistics; Accounting majors can provide cost/benefit analysis of each event held on campus; Marketing majors have the ability to devise and implement social media campaigns to increase attendance, etc.)
Community and Corporate Partnership Development
- MVSU has multiple headquarters, factories and/or plant(s) located within a thirty (30) mile radius from campus. Creating opportunities for MVSU to help them (business partners) with workforce development, employee retention and/or continuing education.
- Providing print, digital, and/or naming right(s) marketing opportunities for local and national brands on campus.
- Hosting annual high school, charity, entertainment and community events on campus. On each occasion giving MVSU the opportunity to recruit and impress potential students, athletes and/or decision makers (parents, teachers, principals, community leaders).
