Founded in 1871, it is the oldest public historically Black land-grant institution in the United States. With a commitment to excellence in education, research, and community engagement, Alcorn State University has been instrumental in shaping the lives and futures of countless students over 150 years.

This plan sets a clear path forward for Alcorn State University as it continues to advance its mission and build a brighter future for all who call it home.

As the University continues to grow and evolve, it is vital to ensure that its physical and technological infrastructure can support its mission and goals.
