The Mississippi Academy of Sciences is holding their annual meeting on our Hattiesburg campus February 21 and 22, 2013 in the Thad Cochran Center. 

This is the  77th Annual Meeting of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences. 

The meeting, which attracts hundreds of attendees representing all of the state’s institutions of higher learning, gives presenters and exhibitors an opportunity to fellowship, network, and present their works. 

All of us in the College of Science and Technology and at Southern Miss are proud to serve as the major sponsor for the event.  A number of our faculty serve as division chairs for the academy. 

Faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend.  I hope to see you there.

All of us at Southern Miss are proud of our students who have completed their studies and are graduating. 

The College of Science and Technology would like to celebrate with our students, their family and friends before the ceremony. 

Our graduation reception for CoST students, family members, friends, and supporters will be:

• Friday December 14, 2012
• Time:  7:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
• Location:  Lobby of Bobby Chain Technology Building (Hattiesburg campus)

Please help us celebrate their accomplishments. 

The College of Science and Technology’s own chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED) Health Preprofessional Honor Society recently hosted a week-long book sale featuring the MedTutor program. 

MedTutor offers a new and unique approach to teaching, learning and studying medical and health-related subjects such as anatomy, medical terminology and more through its website: MedTutor.com. 

MedTutor is the brainchild of local Hattiesburg physician, Dr. Charles Henderson, who sought to create useful preparatory tools for medical studies.

AED is part of our Premedical and Health Professions Office which is housed in the College of Science and Technology.  The Preprofessional Office helps students prepare for careers in a variety of health-care fields by discussing strategies for success and offering assistance with course selection, schedule planning, and the application process.

Every year, we work with Southern Miss Career Services to get helpful information to our students about jobs, resume preparation, and so much more. 

Recently, Career Services visited the Bobby Chain Technology building on the Hattiesburg campus to give our students important information and help make connections between students, alumni, employers, while offering our students information on career options. 

Career Services is a great service for our students to take advantage of, especially as graduation day draws nearer.
