Mississippi State students Justin R. Jackson of Biloxi and Johnny Sanders of Vicksburg (third and fourth from the left) are 2005 recipients of Materials Certificates in the Bagley College of Engineering. Another Vicksburg native, Dustin H. McKnight (not pictured), also received the certificate along with the other recipients prior to MSU's fall commencement ceremonies. All three are graduate students in mechanical engineering. The Materials Certificate program recognizes students who complete an organized plan of study in the interdisciplinary materials engineering and science areas at MSU. Also pictured (from the left) are engineering Dean Kirk H. Schulz, associate professor of forest products Rubin Shmulsky, mechanical engineering professor John T. Berry and college Associate Dean Donna S. Reese.
