West Point resident wins auction benefiting library

- By JESSICA LINDSEY

Throughout the month of October, Starkville Daily News and Chalet Arts hosted an auction of a one-of-a-kind piece of Mississipp­i State baseball memorabili­a that would benefit the Starkville

Public Library. The auction closed last Saturday, October 30 just one hour before the MSU football homecoming game against Kentucky kicked off and the MSU baseball team debuted their College World Series championsh­ip rings.

The highest bidder was none other than Stevan Black, a Mississipp­i State alum and West Point resident.

“My family has all gone to State, aside from two people, but their time dates back to when it was still Mississipp­i A&M,” Black said. “The

courses and flexibilit­y that make a high-quality college education more accessible and convenient.”

MSU’S Winter Express is a perfect option with a flexible

online format in which students can benefit from exceptiona­l instructio­n, student-centered curricula, interactiv­e learning and collaborat­ive study activities.

By enrolling in Winter Express, students can get a head start on the spring 2022 semester, finish core

course requiremen­ts, take classes within majors or pick up extra credits to accelerate graduation. They also can explore new subject areas, concentrat­e on difficult courses and benefit from smaller classes taught by MSU’S world-class faculty.

“Mississipp­i State continues

to look for ways to better serve students and provide an enriching and rewarding educationa­l experience,” Keenum said. “Winter Express is an important part of our offerings that will move students another step closer to realizing their life and career dreams.”
