MSU employees, students, and local community members raced together Tuesday evening to raise funds for the United Way of North Central Mississippi. "Bully's 5K for United Way" held its first Halloween-themed night race, with some runners donning fun accessories to their race gear. Even as the race began, Thierry Czarnecki, center, sported bunny ears as "The Hare," leaving his wife Joby, "The Tortoise," behind. Joby is a research assistant at the MSU Geosystems Research Institute.
