How MSU Campus Police responds
SUMMARY: Mississippi State University's “Maroon Alert” system quickly informs the public of any potential crisis situations. The university's police department, with 15 sworn officers, is the first line of defense. A crisis action team, consisting of law enforcement, student affairs, athletics, and other representatives, handles various crisis scenarios. The university is implementing a new SMS tech system for communicating with faculty, staff, and students. This will allow multiple means of contacting the university community in case of problems. The crisis action team recently conducted a drill focused on the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting, and the university prides itself on going the extra mile to notify everyone in the community.

SUMMARY: Fourth graders at Hatley School in Mississippi spent nine weeks researching famous Mississippians and brought their research to life in a wax museum. The students portrayed different Mississippi natives like Jimmy Buffett, B.B. King, and Britney Spears, sharing stories of their lives and careers.

The students learned valuable lessons from the project, such as perseverance and never giving up, as they embodied their chosen famous Mississippians in the spotlight. This was the first year for Hatley's Famous Mississippians Wax Museum.
