MVSU to Host Spring 2021 Virtual High School Day
By Karrington Stockstill, Intern
Mississippi Valley State University's Office of Admissions has been working diligently to prepare prospective students for a virtual high school day.
Dr. Danisha Williams, Director of Admissions and Recruitment, said, "We have planned an exciting program with information and performances that will grasp the attention of prospective students along with their parents."
The virtual event will feature Student Government Association President Jhah Cook, Mister and Miss MVSU, Larozzo Shugart and Chyna Sawyers, Student Alumni Association President Ronni Williams, MVSU Cheerleaders, the Mean Green Marching Machine, the MVSU Valley singers, student-athletes, and other MVSU scholars.
Williams pointed out that the office of admissions' overall goal is to increase student enrollment. "We are trying to find students who will benefit from Valley and display school pride at all times." Dr. Williams added.
Donell Maxie, Communications and Marketing Director for MVSU, said the project came together nicely. He believes prospective students will be informed and encouraged to consider MVSU as their school of choice.
"This virtual event does not compare to the traditional high school day that we are accustomed to seeing, but all of the Valley students who are involved in this project have done all they could to ensure they provide prospective students with a great look into life at the Valley," Maxie said.
The high school day committee met weekly for two months to make sure this event was a success. MVSU Alum, Joseph Jackson ('13), owner of J. Royce Productions, produced the virtual video.
For more information on admission into MVSU, contact the Office of Admission at (662)254-3347.

Mississippi State architecture students receive travel awards for international research
Contact: Christie McNeal
STARKVILLE, Miss.—A junior architecture student at Mississippi State will get a chance to broaden her global perspective with help from a $20,000 Aydelott Travel Award.
Yuria J. Sloane of Charleston, South Carolina, plans to travel this summer to Bolivia, Japan, New Zealand and Norway to research the use of architecture as a tool of oppression and liberation for indigenous communities. Her itinerary includes studies of architect Freddy Mamani's El Cholets in El Alto, Bolivia; the Okinawa Prefectural Museum by Ishimoto Architectural and Engineering Firm in Naha, Okinawa; architecture firm Tennent Brown’s Te Wharehou o Waikaremoana in Te Urewera, New Zealand; and architects Christian Sunby’s and Stein Halvorsen’s Sameting in Karasjok, Norway.
“Receiving this award has been eye opening to the possibilities of architectural work outside of traditional practice,” Sloane said. “I have never had an opportunity presented that allowed me to research something so personally important to me. It has inspired me to possibly follow a research-focused path during my schooling and beyond.”
Assistant Professor Silvina Lopez Barrera will advise Sloane in her research.
“Being of an indigenous group myself, I have found myself drawn to buildings with deep cultural motivations,” Sloane said. “When we think about modern examples of indigenous architecture, we cannot ignore the social elements that surround them and their ability to have a platform in the architecture industry. I settled on my topic because I think it is important to look at how architecture was used to harm and can now be used to repair.”
The $2.4 million endowment—established by late Memphis architect Alfred Lewis Aydelott and his wife Hope Galloway Aydelott—provides an award each year to four architecture students currently enrolled in the professional architecture degree programs at Mississippi State, as well as the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville; Auburn University; and the University of Tennessee.
Additionally, rising senior architecture major Anna Rives Gully of Starkville is receiving a $4,750 Trussell Travel Award sponsored by MSU School of Architecture alumnus Ted T. Porter to support her research on Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany. She will be specifically looking into how the building addresses and fits into the societal context of Berlin, defined by World War II and the Holocaust. Gully will further her contextual understanding of World War II in Europe through additional travels to Austria and Prague.
“The Aydelott and Trussell Travel Awards provide amazing opportunities for our students to experience architecture throughout the world,” said School of Architecture Director and F.L. Crane Professor Karen Cordes Spence. “We are extremely fortunate to have this support for students and are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Aydelott and Mr. Porter for making this possible.”
MSU’s School of Architecture offers the state’s only professional architecture degree accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. Learn more at www.caad.msstate.edu . Explore similar opportunities available to current architecture students at caad.msstate.edu/current-students/architecture/fellowships-awards .
