Participating in a "Women in Action" camp coordinated by Mississippi State's Bagley College of Engineering are (l to r): Brandie Gilbert of Utica, Kimberly Patterson of Morton, Lindsey Ruby of Hernando and Kirby Thomas of Jackson. All are rising eighth graders except for Thomas, who is a ninth grader. The summer camp is designed to introduce young girls to the field of engineering as a possible future career field. Here, under the instruction of chemical engineering associate professor Becky Toghiani, they are using Play-Doh in an exercise on preventing waste contamination.
