Callie Poole, project manager at Mississippi State’s Social Science Research Center Systems Change Lab, will be honored by Families as Allies Monday [Feb. 24] during its Community Partnership Celebration.

The Mississippi State University family is mourning the loss of a prospective student—Florida Baker School senior Kadance Fredericksen, who interviewed this past week for MSU’s Presidential Scholarship, the institution’s most prestigious academic award. She was one of only 40 students chosen to interview out of 700 applications.
