The university has undergone many transformation since it was established in 1910. Changes include the addition of new buildings around campus that contain new classrooms, new housing facilities, and commons only to name a few. It has grown from Mississippi's Normal College to well respected University throughout the country and even around the world. There are many cultural backgrouds and nationalities that are present at the USM today. http://www.usm.edu/centennial/timeline.php
