Why did you choose to attend Mississippi State?

My aunt is the Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion, and Access, so I grew up here on campus while she worked throughout the week when I would visit. I absolutely loved campus and the people walking around were so polite and genuine. It’s a home away from home for me and seeing how much Dr. Keenum is so active with student life and opportunities was so important to notice for me. so instantly fell in love here.
