Engineering students to benefit from endowment
Engineering students, particularly those with a special interest in plastics, will benefit from a $25,000 check presented to the university by professionals who work in the field.
Representatives of the Mississippi Chapter, Society of Plastic Engineers made the gift to the Bagley College of Engineering and the MSU Foundation during its February meeting on campus at the Swalm School of Chemical Engineering.
The organization's scholarship endowment is designated specifically for engineering majors from Mississippi-and especially those with a preference for careers in plastics.
The SPE is an international professional organization representing scientists and engineers engaged in the development, conversion and application of plastics. University and community college scholarship support is one of its primary missions.
