MSU names new alumni director

Seasoned alumnus Jeff Davis was named the new executive director for Mississippi State University’s Alumni Association. The announcement ends a 3-month research to replace 38-year MSU alumni veteran Jimmy Abraham, who retired in June. Davis comes to Starkville from duty as an alumni association executive at Stephen F. Austin University. Davis begins his new role at MSU in November. Davis has family history with MSU. His grandfather played football at State in the late 1930s and graduated with an engineering degree. Source: The Reflector (MSU), Oct. 11, 2013.
