The Meridian Campus of Mississippi State University recently presented its own Bully mascot to faculty, staff, and supporters. Graduate student Rita Dearman enters history books as the first student on the MSU-Meridian Campus to fill the role--and suit--of Bully. MSU-Meridian Dean Donna L. Clevinger and Dr. Bill Kibler, vice president for student affairs on the Starkville campus, and former MSU-Meridian student president Renee Edwards collaborated to get a mascot in residence approved for the MSU-Meridian Campus.
