Mississippi State’s Executive Director of the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library Anne E. Marshall has received a Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Award for her book “Cassius Marcellus Clay: The Life of an Antislavery Slaveholder and the Paradox of American Reform,” adding to a growing list of accolades for the acclaimed work.

“I have always been career-focused through my academic career, so choosing an institution that was highly reputable for broadcast meteorologists was a must,” said Jacob Woods, a 2024 Mississippi State University graduate. “MSU holds that reputation better than any school in the country, so I knew from a young age MSU was meant for me. Once I attended a College of Arts & Sciences Academic Insight Day in high school, I saw how interactive the meteorology program was and immediately fell in love.”

Mississippi State University’s College of Arts and Sciences hosted a ribbon cutting on Friday [May 8], for the Hank Johnston Mathematics Center, an expansion of the university’s Math Domain located in Allen Hall. The space, made possible through a gift from 1965 MSU alumnus and Apollo 8 project leader Henry “Hank” Johnston, provides additional dedicated learning space for strengthening student success, retention and confidence in foundational mathematics and statistics coursework.
