A SPECIAL
 INVITATION
TO JOIN


Help preserve a unique part of our heritage


 

Generations of students, faculty, staff, and alumni have enjoyed the beauty, solitude, and comfort that comes from a walk through The Grove on a spring day, or a tailgate party on a football weekend that bonds families, friends, and colleagues.  The Grove is more than a gathering place.  It's a classroom, a park, and an auditorium.  But mostly, it's a beloved sanctuary of wonderful memories.  The Grove is truly a unique place.  And for this reason, The Grove Society has been established to provide a means for continued support. 

The Grove Society is a membership organization dedicated to preservation of The Grove and its role in the life of Ole Miss.  Funds derived from membership provide for the maintenance and upkeep of The Grove and for costs associated with sports activities as thousands visit the campus each year.

Grove Society Founder
For an annual contribution of $1,500, Founders will receive designated parking in the School of Law parking lot for each home football game, a personalized parking permit, and a special auto decal.  For the first year of membership only, Founders will receive one brick in The Grove Walk of Champions. 

Grove Society Member
For an annual gift of $100, members receive a special Grove Society window decal.

Walk of Champions
In addition to becoming a member of the Grove Society, supporters can for $250,  purchase inscribed bricks that will pave a Walk of Champions, which will extend from the Student Union to University Avenue.  Proceeds from the sale of bricks support scholarships and academic enrichment
