Mary “Ginny” Sewall, a senior in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, has earned a scholarship for the 2011-12 academic year from the world’s largest engineering honor society, Tau Beta Pi.
Ginny has maintained a 4.0 GPA during her time at Mississippi State and was recently named Most Outstanding Senior from MSU by the Mississippi Engineering Society. She has been active in Delta Gamma sorority, Campus Activities Board, and the Student Association.
