(Top 15 Ways Universities Benefit Mississippi)
Mississippi's university system produces graduates who earn higher wages than their peers without degrees. Higher wages lead to more money for the state through increased tax revenues and increased wages for all other employees. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2005, the average working university graduate earned about 62 percent more than the average working high school graduate. These higher earnings by four-year degree holders translated into nearly 80 percent more in total federal, state, and local taxes paid than the taxes paid by the typical high school graduate. Governments rely on taxes to provide necessary services, such as education and health care. Findings released in Education Pays: The Benefits of Higher Education for Individuals and Society and based on studies by economist Enrico Moretti indicate that the earnings of workers with lower education levels are positively affected by the presence of university graduates in the workforce. In fact, every one percentage point increase in the population with a four-year degree leads to an increase in wages of 1.9 percent for workers without a high school diploma, 1.6 percent for workers with a high school diploma, 1.2 percent for workers with some college, and 0.6 percent for workers with a university degree. Read about other ways that Mississippi's public universities benefit the state in archived issues of the System Review. | |  Items included in the "University News" section of the System Review are submitted each week by the universities.

 Campbell College Suites Receives Award for Construction
Jackson State University's Campbell College Suites recently received the Mississippi Associated Builders and Contractors Merit Award, recognizing the residence hall as one of the state's best construction projects of the year. "We are improving residence halls campus-wide," said Walter Johnson, director of planning and construction management. "Any future residence halls will be built in this style." Cutting-edge for the Jackson State campus, Campbell College Suites features apartment-style living complete with a kitchen, allowing students to create the feel of "home," Johnson said. The $20 million building opened in February after 16 months of construction. Campbell College Suites can accommodate up to 442 male and female students in separate buildings, which also provide comfortable study areas and convenient laundry facilities. Students can choose from two-, three- or four-bedroom suites. The residence facility is located along the Gibbs-Green Plaza next to the dining hall and the student union. It is named for Campbell College, which was previously located at the current site of Jackson State's main campus. This is the second award Jackson State has won since 2005, when Dixon Hall earned the same honor. The seven-story facility houses male students. Learn more.

MSU Formally Launches African-American Studies Program
During Nov. 8 ceremonies, Mississippi State officials, students, and guests commemorated the start of a new academic program focused on African-American studies. College Board member Bob Owens of Jackson, university President Robert H. "Doc" Foglesong and Stephen Middleton, the program's recently appointed director, were among those taking part. "This program is about diversity and understanding other cultures," Foglesong said. "It is not for African-Americans; it's not for Caucasians; it's for Americans." Middleton echoed Foglesong's sentiments that the curriculum will not be restricted just to a particular group. "Dr. Foglesong had a dream of participating in an ongoing dialogue about diversity," Middleton said. Also during the program, Middleton presented Foglesong with the program's first leadership award for his support in establishing the new academic effort. Citing poet Emily Dickinson's philosophy of "dwelling in possibilities," Middleton said the program's ultimate goal is "to improve the educational experience of our students and contribute to our state." Keynote speaker Jacqueline Wade, a black studies curriculum specialist and Middle Tennessee State University faculty member, told the standing-room only assembly, "You have not gone wrong, and you will never go wrong offering students a chance to broaden their social and economic backgrounds."

Life as MSU Mascot Suits Bully to a 'T'
His auspicious debut at a 1935 football game between Mississippi State and Alabama brought the Bulldogs good luck and a 20-7 victory. More than 72 years later, the university's canine mascot has become an icon. Because people instantly see Bully as the face of MSU, he must look and feel good, and behave properly to create a favorable impression. He succeeds as a goodwill ambassador because of the College of Veterinary Medicine's (CVM) comprehensive oversight of his health care and daily routine. Six-year-old Bully is the 19th official English bulldog mascot. Born in Waynesboro, he is a descendant of Bully XVI and Bully XVII and registered by the American Kennel Club as "Mississippi's TaTonka Gold." Veterinary technician Lisa Chrestman was assigned the role of trainer, guardian, and scheduler for Bully. She quickly became his "mama." Chrestman and her family have raised the mascot as a pet at their home in Mathiston. Bully, who is affectionately nicknamed "T" by his family and CVM associates, rides to work with Chrestman and leaves with her when the day is done. He eats an evening meal of nutritionally balanced dog food and enjoys doggie treats, but he is not allowed to have people food except for stray popcorn on the floor of Humphrey Coliseum at basketball games. "Everything we do with Bully is based on the principle that his health and well-being come first," Chrestman said. Learn more.

MVSU Receives NEA's Big Read Grant
Mississippi Valley State University's J.H. White Library is one of 127 libraries, municipalities, and arts, culture, higher education, and science organizations to receive a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant to host a Big Read celebration of one of 16 classic novels from January to June 2008. The NEA continued its drive toward making the Big Read the largest federal reading program in U.S. history. The NEA launched the Big Read nationally in 2007 in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and in cooperation with Arts Midwest. Dr. Annie Payton, director of the MVSU J.H. White Library, said the staff was thrilled to receive the $20,000 grant. "We firmly support the community in getting our area's reluctant readers back in bookstores and libraries - back to reading, period," said Dr. Payton. The staff has chosen A Lesson Before Dying , by Louisiana native Ernest J. Gaines. "We chose this book for two reasons, the first being our locale. The second, the timeliness of the book is so prevalent of what we're living and experiencing in the Mississippi Delta, in the counties which we are partners with, and with the current incarceration rates," Payton said. MVSU's Big Read will run Jan. 28 through Feb. 28, 2008. Details will be forthcoming, but Payton said interested readers can find information on the library's section of the MVSU website , beginning in January. She said more than 20 events will occur around the novel, including a red carpet showing. Learn more. UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI NEWS
UM Campus Organization Teaches About Chinese Food, Culture in Debut Event
Curious dinner guests venturing into Lenoir Hall on a recent evening were greeted by the aroma of freshly prepared, authentic Chinese cuisine. With not one egg roll or bowl of fried rice in sight, the appetites of diners were satisfied with an atypical, three-course Chinese meal. "China Table" was the first ethnic dinner hosted by Cook! Eat! Share!, a new multicultural organization founded to familiarize the community with other cultures through food. Under the direction of member Yang Liu, a pharmacology postdoctoral research associate, group members prepared vermicelli and seaweed salad, more than 250 Chinese dumplings, Chinese barbecue ribs, and green bean soup. "I wanted to show people homemade (Chinese) food," Liu said. "America has a lot of Chinese fast food, but that's not the way food actually tastes in China." Daphne Ingene, counselor at the University Counseling Center and coordinator of Cook! Eat! Share!, said the dinner's success was a true collaborative effort. "I am proud of the Cook! Eat! Share! members," she said. "They crossed over culture differences to cook Chinese food and share the Chinese culture and traditions together." During the meal, Ingene and member Stephanie Sheng led a presentation on the origins of several popular Chinese foods, and member Sheng Bi demonstrated how to cook Chinese dumplings, or jiaozi.

New Dermatology Director Provides "Full Spectrum" of Skin Care
Dr. Nancye McCowan, director of the Division of Dermatology and associate professor of otolaryngology and communicative sciences, thought it would take some time to fill her schedule after joining University of Mississippi Health Care (UMHC) in September. She was wrong. "I was really expecting for it to take two months, but it took two days. There was a crying need in the community," she said. In fact, the Department of Otolaryngology and Communicative Sciences had been collecting names of patients who needed dermatological services for several months. McCowan, who enjoys general and cosmetic dermatology, is married to Dr. Timothy McCowan, professor and chair of radiology, who joined the Medical Center in July. She jokes that he was hired because he's married to a dermatologist, but there's no doubt her practice is important to the future of health care services here. Dr. Scott Stringer, associate vice chancellor for clinical affairs and president of University Physicians, said until McCowan's arrival, UMHC did not have a full-time dermatologist practicing a broad range of dermatology.

Southern Miss Professor and Student Develop Staph Aureus Microarray Meta-Database
In the ongoing search for a vaccine to battle the aggressive methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, a University of Southern Mississippi biological science professor and student have developed an online database that holds collected data on genes related to staph. The Staphylococcus aureus microarray meta-database, known as SAMMD, launched this semester under the direction of associate professor Dr. Mohamed Elasri. "We've added this bioinformatics tool, specific to staph infection, that allows researchers worldwide to be able to take their favorite gene and look up all the information there is about it," Elasri said. "This database is unique. Other databases only tell you about the papers published on staph, but you cannot cross-reference them with other publications. With SAMMD, you can enter your favorite gene name and this will find all the information extracted from these published papers for you." Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen, causing a variety of diseases and infections. Strains of staph are increasing - each with its own chromosome that is composed of about 2,500 genes. Learn more.
