Ray Hayes

Welcome From the Vice President

The Vice President for Finance & Administration provides the business services essential to operation of Mississippi State University and works to maintain an environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors that is conducive to living, learning and working in comfort and safety.

Staff members administer the University's payrolls and employee benefits; coordinate the purchase of equipment and supplies; maintain campus buildings, grounds, and utilities; University Relations; and perform a thousand other often behind-the-scenes tasks that enable MSU to focus on its missions of teaching, research, and outreach.

The office helps meet the needs of about 16,000 students and more than 4,000 employees who occupy the equivalent of a small city, with more than 300 major buildings encompassing more than 6 million square feet, 14 miles of streets and 20 miles of primary electrical lines, and more than 13,000 parking spaces, all spread over thousands of acres.

Our staff is dedicated to helping the university operate efficiently and effectively in a setting that offers the best possible quality of life. We're here to help, and eager to serve. Our developing web site provides much of the information you may need to take advantage of the resources available to you as a student, faculty member, or visitor, or to do business with the university.

We also welcome your inquiries, suggestions, and comments.
