Commencement Speaker

2013_11_13__2013_11_13_165026The SCHE graduates are excited to have Field Brown as their commencement speaker.

Donald M. “Field” Brown is  a Mississippi State English and philosophy double-major from Vicksburg who was recently awarded the coveted Rhodes Scholarship.

He received what widely is considered the world’s most celebrated and prestigious international fellowship. He is a 2010 Vicksburg High School graduate.

MSU President Mark E. Keenum said that Brown’s selection as a Rhodes Scholar is a source of tremendous pride to the university’s students, faculty and staff.

“First and foremost, Field Brown’s selection as a Rhodes Scholar is a testament to his own drive and determination and the nurturing influence of his wonderful family,” said Keenum. “But it is also a resounding testament to the quality of scholarship, intellectual rigor, and encouragement that we strive to provide each and every student. This outstanding news makes for quite a Thanksgiving at Mississippi State University. We rejoice when our students succeed.”

Each year, 32 young Americans are chosen on the basis of demonstrated scholarly achievements, character, commitment to others and the common good, and leadership potential.

Brown is MSU’s second Rhodes Scholar and the first since 1911. Mississippi State, Brown said, has offered him the best undergraduate experience possible.

“I couldn’t be in a better position if I had gone anywhere else,” he said. He added that his professors have given him “concrete ways to be the best in my field.

“That’s all you can ask from a college education,” he said.

Jeremiah 29:11-13

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Proverbs 3:5-10

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
