Academics and athletics work together at Mississippi Valley State University to enhance the student-athlete experience, as both go hand-in-hand to promote excellence. The Athletic Department needs financial support as it strives to build the type of program which is first class in every respect. In order to attract quality student-athletes, provide the facilities necessary to successfully compete in the SWAC, and ensure each student-athlete is successful on and off the field, financial support is desperately needed through membership in the V Club.
