Mississippi State celebrated three faculty members Thursday [Aug. 28] with two of the university’s most prestigious teaching honors. Christopher Snyder has been named a William L. Giles Distinguished Professor, and Kelly Moser and Holli H. Seitz are the university’s newest Grisham Master Teachers.

Eight Mississippi State students are heading abroad this year with the help of the highly competitive Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, marking the largest group of MSU recipients in university history.

A team of Mississippi State University students took first place in the group competition at the Louisiana/Mississippi (LA/MS) sectional meeting of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) in February.
