Student Spotlight
Cadence Bowers
I value CALS for the opportunities it provides students to combine research, hands-on experience, and professional development. Following graduation, I plan to attend veterinary school to pursue a career in veterinary medicine with a strong foundation in both research and clinical practice.
Maggie Dillahunty
I value CALS because research projects allow students to work hands on with animals, as well as giving them the opportunity to work and gain skills in laboratory settings.
Emily Bishop
I chose ADS as my major because I knew I wanted to work with horses in some capacity. I just didn't know exactly what at the time. Throughout my time here at Mississippi State, I have been given numerous hands-on opportunities and given the best advice from my professors who truly want me to succeed, and to help lead me into my future career. I transferred to MSU in the fall of 2022 and it was by far the best decision I have ever made. Moving halfway across the country from my family and friends was so terrifying in the moment but turned out to be so worth it.
Maddox Prichard
I am so thankful and happy to be part of CALS and Mississippi State. I can pursue all my interests while being supported by faculty and staff every step of the way. I have had amazing experiences and opportunities here that have all come by stepping out of my comfort zone and putting myself out there.
