Jerry Gilbert: They are challenged at Mississippi State, and I think they work extremely hard to achieve success.

Speaker 6: Departments and Colleges throughout the University give students the opportunity to do nationally competitive, meaningful scholarship.

Speaker 7: One of the things that helps students have the confidence to succeed at the National and International level is that they're mentored closely by faculty members.

Speaker 8: In the classroom, but oftentimes this mentorship extends beyond the classroom, in research labs, in conference preparation.
