As Mississippi State University prepares for the start of the fall semester, motorists on campus are urged to utilize caution and patience as new traffic changes take effect.

Beginning tomorrow, [Aug. 9], new gates will limit vehicular traffic on Hardy Road and President’s Circle, a move that increases pedestrian safety in the center of campus. Roadways and parking areas inside the pedestrian-focused corridor will be accessible only to faculty and staff with gated parking permits, vendors with parking permits, and SMART transit buses.

Congratulations to MSU College of Business finance student team for placing 3rd in the nation during the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) 2022 Community Bank Case Study Competition! Pictured L-R are Bank of Commerce Chief Credit Officer & EVP Clifton Thach, Chief Financial Officer & EVP Zach Luke, finance students Peyton Randazzo, Eric Sudduth, Annabelle Peck, Von Churchwell, and faculty advisor Assistant Clinical Professor of Finance Matthew Whitledge.

“I am extremely proud of these students and their accomplishment," said advisor Dr. Matthew Whitledge. "They worked hard to tell a story in order to answer a somewhat abstract, albeit important, question. The executives at Bank of Commerce were generous with both their time and information, and we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with them. The students’ third-place finish represents Department of Finance and Economics, College of Business, and Mississippi State University very well!”
