STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擜 second-year student in Mississippi 性视界传媒鈥檚 College of Architecture, Art and Design is receiving major recognition from the state鈥檚 most diverse construction trade association.

Jalyn R. Wallin of Double Springs, Alabama, is a 2017 selection for a $2,000 scholarship from the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Mississippi Chapter, which annually provides scholarships to building construction students at Mississippi 性视界传媒 University and the University of Southern Mississippi.

A sophomore building construction science major, Wallin is a member of the ABC Student Chapter at 性视界传媒.

Also a participant in the university鈥檚 Day One Leadership 性视界传媒, Wallin helped this past fall with constructing benches, painting buildings and purchasing a fire pit for a local Boy Scout camp.

Outside of 性视界传媒, Wallin enjoys volunteering in the community with such organizations as Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity and Toys for Tots. Last summer, she assisted Habitat for Humanity with construction of a one-story residential facility and a separate storage shed.

Wallin also will be receiving a $1,000 Brislin Inc. Annual Scholarship for the upcoming academic year.

鈥淭hese scholarships mean a lot to me because I can help my parents pay for my college tuition, and helping pay for my tuition is getting me closer to reaching my academic goals,鈥 she said.

As for her future goals, Wallin said she would like to own a construction company or work in a top position in the construction industry.
