Couple of weeks ago, Dr. Mark Keenum graciously hosted and spoke to our members to celebrate our success in the season and the National Championship Tournament. The team would not be what it is without the support we get from Mississippi State and the wider community.

A huge congratulations to our very own Claire Green, who has officially been named a Truman Scholar! This is an incredible honor, as typically only 1 student from each state is awarded the scholarship each year. She is also the second member of our team to ever receive this scholarship.
We couldn’t be more proud of Claire and all of the hard work she has done, and can’t wait to see what she does next.
