Student Spotlight: Georgia Kate Conner
Meet Georgia Kate Conner, a transfer student from Itawamba Community College. She is currently a senior at Mississippi State pursuing a double major in Marketing and Fashion Design and Merchandising. After visiting the College of Business as a potential transfer student, Georgia was confident that MSU was the place for her.
Her decision to pursue a double major in Marketing and Fashion Design and Merchandising was a result of her high school job at a local clothing and makeup boutique in her hometown of Ripley, MS. Georgia said “that experience really solidified my decision to work in retail while also broadening my horizons in the marketing part of a business.”
Her favorite thing about the university is “the endless opportunity to get involved. As a transfer, I jumped right into any organization that dealt with my major as well as some that did not, simply for the opportunity to meet new people and gain more knowledge.” She wants to encourage future transfer students not to be afraid of getting involved. “Jump into any organization that you think even sounds interesting, step out of your comfort zone to meet new people and grab the amazing opportunities that MSU has to offer.”
