Starting this week, University of Mississippi<\/strong> alumni and supporters who live in Mississippi <\/strong>can purchase an updated Ole Miss<\/strong> affinity license plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Mississippi license plate features the addition of “Hotty Toddy” across the bottom and an updated Ole Miss script logo to the left of the plate number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s important to have this plate out there so our alumni can show their pride in the university,” said Kirk Purdom<\/strong>, executive director of alumni affairs. “But also, the proceeds help our students here directly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plate can be purchased at any Mississippi county tax office for an additional $51. For every purchase, $32.50 returns to the university to fund the Herb Dewees Alumni Scholarship<\/strong> and beautification efforts in The Grove<\/strong> and University Circle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Herb Dewees Alumni Scholarship<\/a>\u00a0is given to lineal descendants of Ole Miss alumni. The fund awarded more than $300,000 last year, Purdom said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
