Mikayla Shelton
Mikayla Shelton, a senior agricultural science major concentrating in both agricultural education, leadership and communications and animal production, has a very firm hold on the worth and potential of each individual student of the College of Agriculture and Life Science. "There are students within CALS that will graduate and become the doctors and scientists of tomorrow, students who might change agriculture as we know it, students who want to challenge and change difficult home lives and who want to keep us healthy with nutrition and happy with fashion," Shelton said. "CALS students come to Mississippi State ready to change the world." Shelton herself hopes to change the world of agriculture, having come from a small farm in Bruce, Mississippi herself and wanting to return to that environment by eventually working with the Mississippi State Extension Service.
