‘Starkville Daily News’ on Mississippi State’s Green Light
The Starkville Daily News of Starkville, Mississippi, draws attention to Mississippi State University's success in becoming the latest "green light" school in FIRE's Spotlight database.

Be sure to check out MSU's press release celebrating the designation as well.
