Florian Represents Mississippi State On SEC Community Service Team
May 10, 2022 | Softball, Student-Athlete Development
STARKVILLE – The Southeastern Conference announced its 13-member Community Service Team on Tuesday, and Mississippi State was represented by Allison Florian.
Florian serves as the community and events chair with the student-athlete development department with a focus on increasing student-athlete engagement in the community alongside the Student-Athlete Advisory Council.
She developed new events for student-athletes to engage the campus community. This semester, she led the M-Club's Bag 'Em Up Bulldogs effort, which passed along goodie bags and letters of encouragement to student-athletes before the first game of their seasons. She also led the women's history month tabling initiative and began creating new projects centered around mental health.
Outside the athletic department, she was pen pals with a second-grade class in the fall semester, encouraging them to focus on academics and later visited the class for a Q&A session. Florian visits the J.L. King Center to volunteer with after-school programs.
She also volunteered with the Bulldog softball team's Community Youth camp, a free clinic for young children in the Starkville area. For her efforts she received the athletic departments' community service award for the year at the Bulldogs' annual banquet.
Mississippi State will open the SEC Tournament against No. 18 LSU on Wednesday, May 11 in Gainesville, Florida. First pitch is set for 11 a.m. CT on SEC Network.
