Innovating for a Better Future

Our faculty are solving urgent challenges at the intersection of the environment, economy and society to ensure a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous future for all.

A passion for research and mentorship led recent alumna Murry Burgess to a career in academia as an assistant professor in Mississippi State University's College of Forest Resources (@msucfr). 

“What really inspired me to become a professor is kind of the story of students that I knew who wished they had a certain type of mentor and wished they had someone who looked like them represented. I wanted to provide what that generation was lacking a little bit.” —@murryloub
