Freshman Associates

Freshman Associates is an opportunity for freshman students who want to develop skills in leadership, event-planning, community service, contribute to positive changes at the university, and serve as a voice for the freshman class. This organization will ultimately help students discover how they can be an integral part of Southern Miss as well as the Student Government Association in their coming college years.

Freshman Associates also serves as an outlet for students to express fresh and innovative ideas for change and growth at the university. Involvement in FA will be beneficial to the institution and overall collegiate experience as members impact other students and become a part of the family at Southern Miss.
