MSU UNIVERSITY RELATIONS
STARKVILLE — Third District Rep. Gregg Harper will deliver Mississippi State’s 2009 fall commencement address.
The first-term Republican from Pearl will be featured during the university’s single Dec. 11 graduation program, which begins at 7 p.m. in Humphrey Coliseum.
Some 1,200 students are scheduled to receive degrees this semester. Those choosing to participate in the ceremony will be joined by a number from the summer term, for which there is no separate recognition event.
Harper, a former prosecuting attorney for the cities of Brandon and Richland, was sworn into his current office in January. He succeeded fellow GOP member Chip Pickering in representing a district that covers central portions of the state, stretching from the Louisiana border in the southwest to the Alabama border in the east.
