You may not know the answer to this, but I'm curious... How active is the alumni association in the Bham area? With a move to Jefferson/Shelby county on the horizon, I'd love to get involved.
I've done Oktibbeha county chapter and Memphis chapter over the last few years. Memphis does a great job recruiting the area for new students. Oktibbeha did a lot for the community.
My better half came to State from Hoover with no prior ties and she would love to get involved in helping even more Bham students develop an interest in MSU. Seems we are already becoming perhaps the next best option behind AU and UA for the Birmingham area. We need to keep that growth.
