Meet A Current Student

Daniel Darwin

Daniel Darwin

"When I visited campus, I immediately felt at home, and I really enjoyed all the wonderful people I got to meet.”

Meet Daniel Darwin, a senior Computer Engineering major from Birmingham, Alabama. Here at Mississippi State, Daniel serves as the President of the Engineering Recruitment Leaders, a service organization that works with the Dean’s office of the Bagley College of Engineering (BCoE) and meets with prospective students and families to help answer questions about MSU and the BCoE from the student perspective. So, don’t be surprised if you are visiting campus and Daniel is in your campus visit session!

At MSU, it is important to be involved. Not only is Daniel an Engineering Recruitment Leader, but he is also involved with RUF and Ultimate Frisbee intramurals.

Choosing where you attend college can be a daunting task. We encourage you to visit campus to see all that Mississippi State and the Bagley College of Engineering has to offer you. When asked why he chose MSU, Daniel explained:

“I chose MSU for a two main reasons. First, the MSU Engineering Department is well known for its faculty and students, and I knew that academically it would set me up to succeed. Secondly, when I visited campus, I immediately felt at home, and I really enjoyed all the wonderful people I got to meet.”

We know that it can be overwhelming to choose a major, and the Bagley College of Engineering has eight different departments and 12 majors. So how do you choose a major? Daniel explained how he chose his major:

Shining stars: Meet MSU’s newest Astronaut Scholarship winners

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Two students in Mississippi State’s Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College are receiving an out-of-this-world opportunity from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.

Zoe M. Fowler, a senior electrical engineering major from Columbus, and Hannah L. Scheaffer, a junior biochemistry major from Ruston, Louisiana, are receiving two of 56 scholarships being presented to the ASF’s 2020 Astronaut Scholars Class, which includes students from 41 universities across the nation. Both were nominated by MSU faculty members and will be formally recognized in August at the ASF’s annual Innovators Gala in Washington, D.C.

Recipients earn a merit-based scholarship of up to $10,000 and may participate in the ASF’s Innovative Leadership Mentor Program, which provides access to a lifelong network of astronauts, Astronaut Scholar alumni, and leaders in academia, technical research and corporate leadership. In addition to being in their junior or senior years of college study in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, scholarship recipients must express intent to pursue research or advance their field upon completion of their degree. Among other application materials, they are required to submit a curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation and a personal statement.
