As part of the March 23 annual Founder’s Day celebration, �²���’s Utica Campus unveiled a state-approved historical marker near the iconic Bell Tower.

“I am extremely honored to be named an Oberndorf Scholar. I wouldn’t be where I am now without those who have given me their support and encouragement.”

“With support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Mississippi Humanities Council, along with the Institute for Museum and Library Services, we’ve been able to provide internships for our students to explore careers in the humanities through their work at the Museum.”

“There are times when I want to give up, but I remind myself that I am here to set standards for my younger family members.”

“�²��� is committed to ensuring that our students successfully pursue their endeavors and are well equipped to compete locally and globally.”

“As an HBCU, we try to remind the entire campus community of our roots and the importance of what has happened here and what continues to happen.”

“I am so blessed for the opportunity. It shows that my hard work in Mr. Crisler’s class has paid off, and I can show young girls that they can be anything they want to be no matter who they are and where they come from.”
